So once upon a time I had this awesome Creative Writing class last year and we had to write poetry--which I did, that'll be coming soon. But I asked my teacher if I could write a parody instead and she was down with that, so that's what I did, a parody! This is some fun, original work called "Good Riddance Voldemort" based of the song "Good Morning Baltimore" from Hairspray. The original lyrics are on the left, mine are on the right. I hope you like it; parodies are super fun to write!
Do you write parodies or have you heard of some good ones? Share, share, share!
Woke up today Woke up today
Feeling the way I always do Hating your guts like I always do
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
Hungry for something You killed my parents
That I can't eat You monstrous beast
Then I hear that beat With freakish pale physique!
The rhythm of town When Dementors in town
Starts calling me down Start getting me down
It's like a message from And the Death Mark visible
High above High above
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
Pulling me out I grab my broom
To the smiles and the And I'll meet you to
Streets that I love Fight for the ones that I love!
Good morning Baltimore Good riddance, Voldemort
Every day's like an open door Everyday I keep learning more
Every night is a fantasy Every night I have that fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony Where I curse you times infinity!
Good morning Baltimore Good riddance, Voldemort
And some day when I take to the floor And some day when I pass all my OWLS
The world's gonna wake up and see And proclaim my love for Ginny
Baltimore and me It'll be Voldemore vs. me!
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
Look at my hair Check out my wand
What "do" can compare with mine today? How do you compare with the Elder Wand?
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
I've got my hairspray and radio I've got my spell books and Sneak-o-Scope
I'm ready to go I'm ready to go!
The rats on the street The hippogriffs on the street
All dance round my feet All bow around my feet
They seem to say They seem to say
"Tracy, it's up to you" "We too hate You-know-Who"
So, oh, oh So, oh, oh
Don't hold me back You watch your back
'Cause today all my dreams will come true "Cause my prophecy'll finally come true!
Good morning Baltimore Good riddance, Voldemort
There's the flasher who lives next door I have a secret band of brave cohorts
There's the bum on his bar room stool I hate you more than that Slytherin tool
They wish me luck on my way to school You just wait until our epic duel.
Good morning Baltimore Good riddance, Voldemort
And some day when I take to the floor And some day when I pass all my OWLS
The world's gonna wake up and see And proclaim my love for Ginny
Baltimore and me It'll be Voldemore vs. me!
I know every step I know every spell
I know every song I know every charm
I know there's a place where I belong I know Gryffindor is where I belong!
I see all those party lights shining ahead I see all those Death Eaters flying ahead
So someone invite me So I better kill you
Before I drop dead! By the scar on my head!
So, Oh, Oh So, Oh, Oh
Give me a chance Just watch me fly
'Cause when I start to dance 'Cause no one can deny
I’m a movie star I'm the Chosen One
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
Something inside of me makes me move Something inside of me wants you gone
When I hear the groove When I whip out my wand!
My ma tells me no My mum loved me so
But my feet tell me go! Which gave me pow'r over my foes!
It's like a drummer inside my heart It's like the Patronus from my wand
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
Don't make me wait Don't make me wait
One more moment for my life to start... One more moment for my quest to start!
Good morning Baltimore Good riddance, Voldemort
Every day's like an open door Everyday I keep learning more
Every night is a fantasy Every night I have that fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony Where I curse you times infinity!
Good morning Baltimore Good riddance, Voldemort
And some day when I take to the floor And some day when I pass all my OWLS
The world's gonna wake up and see And proclaim my love for Ginny
Baltimore and me It'll be Voldemore vs. me!
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
Something inside of me makes me move Something inside of me wants you gone
When I hear the groove When I whip out my wand!
My ma tells me no My mum loved me so
But my feet tell me go! Which gave me pow'r over my foes!
It's like a drummer inside my heart It's like the Patronus from my wand
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
Don't make me wait Don't make me wait
One more moment for my life to start... One more moment for my quest to start!
Good morning Baltimore Good riddance, Voldemort
Every day's like an open door Everyday I keep learning more
