Neville Longbottom—Because I Forgot
Disclaimer: I'm not Afro Man, so I don't own the original song, "Because I Got High". I'm not J. K Rowling, so I don't own Neville Longbottom or any other character mentioned here. I own nothing but a rather quirky sense of humour—oh, and this particular order of words which may pass for a song parody.
(Neville)
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
La, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, laaah,
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, laaah
My Gran gave me a remembrall because I forgot,
It turned red as soon as I touched it, because I forgot
I was supposed to do something right now—I don't know what,
Because I forgot, because I forgot, because I forgot.
La, la, la, la, la, la,
I wasn't gonna blow up the cauldron, but then I forgot,
I added porcupine quills too soon because I forgot,
I put in too many dried nettles, and you know what?
It's because I forgot, because I forgot, because I forgot.
Now Snape's called me an idiot boy because I forgot,
Had to go up to the hospital wing because I forgot,
I've got boils all over me and I don't feel too hot,
Because I forgot, because I forgot, because I forgot.
La, la, la, la, la, la,
I wasn't gonna fall off my broom, but then I forgot,
I was gonna stay on 'till I landed the thing, but then I forgot.
For all that trouble, a broken wrist is what I've got,
Because I forgot, because I forgot, because I forgot.
La, la, la, la, la, la,
I was gonna be on time for Divination, but then I forgot
I wasn't gonna smash my first two teacups, but then I forgot.
I wasn't gonna be afraid of Snape, but you know what,
Then I forgot, then I forgot, then I forgot.
La, la, la, la, la, la,
I wasn't gonna lose my toad, but then I forgot,
I was gonna keep an eye on him, but then I forgot.
Now Trevor's on the loose, I hope he won't get squashed
Because I forgot, because I forgot, because I forgot.
La, la, la, la, la, la,
I wasn't gonna send Flitwick flying, but then I forgot,
I aimed the Banishing Charm the wrong way because I forgot,
I had trouble aiming at the cushions, I kid you not,
Because I forgot, because I forgot, because I forgot.
La, la, la, la, la, la,
I wasn't gonna eat that canary cream, but then I forgot,
It looked so delicious to me that I forgot,
Now I'm wearing feathers when I'd rather not,
Because I forgot, because I forgot, because I forgot.
La, la, la, la, la, la,
I wrote Sir Cadogan's passwords down because I forgot,
Wasn't gonna leave the list lying around, but I forgot.
Now Black has gotten in and I cannot,
Because I forgot, because I forgot, because I forgot.
La, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la, la da, da, da, da,
Shoop shoo-be-do-wa, skippidy-dee-bop doo-wa,
La, la, da, da, da, da, doo doo,
Because I forgot, because I forgot, because I forgot.

How many verses are there in the original? I kind of forgot,
I was gonna look the darn thing up, but then I forgot.
This parody may be too long, I'm sorry but
It's because I forgot, because I forgot, because I forgot.
