Who would have guessed at the of End Year Feast Everyone would shake my hand to congratulate me Standing up to my friends, well I was so scared Whoa My extra 10 points helped to win the House Cup I never thought that I would have so much good luck So dumbfounded when Dumbledore said my name Whoa Waiting in the dark sitting in my PJ’s I was petrified way before Hermione waved her wand Confronting Harry was the worst He was the, the only one that ever stood up for me Because of this I can’t believe the fame Of all these people even Fred and George they know my name I can do something right, I’m not a total joke Whoa

I hate, I hate Cornish Pixies I hate, I hate Cornish Pixies I hate, I hate Cornish Pixies Why is it always me Just after Lockhart’s class they wouldn’t leave me alone Followed me in the bathroom, shower, spread toe jam on my toast They spat in my pumpkin juice, used my quills as toothpicks Showed me pictures of my Gran in lingerie, boy that makes me sick I hate, I hate Cornish Pixies I hate, I hate Cornish Pixies I hate, I hate Cornish Pixies Why is it always me

I just found out that two of my professors Were classmates here at Hogwarts together I wonder what it was like in those days Professors Lupin and Snape weren’t exactly chums Snape thought that Lupin, he was werewolf scum I’m pretty sure he had it wrong Professor Lupin took the Dark Arts job from Professor Snape In a duel you’d win and put that greasy slimeball right in his place Oh man it would be such a gas To see Snape get knocked on his...butt Colin should take a picture of that You know what I find that’s the most scary It’s the professor of Potion Making It would be so funny to see that jerk in my Gran’s undies Professor Lupin took the Dark Arts job from Professor Snape In a duel you’d win and put that greasy slimeball right in his place

The last few weeks I have spent Thinking I don’t live up to my parents They were so brave, and so strong too I wish I didn’t always act like a fool But I do I’m sorry that I’m not like my old pop I didn’t mean to bring shame to the family name I’m sorry that I’m not like my old pop I didn’t mean to bring shame to the family name Everything I do turns out wrong I start to wonder if I belong In this world of grand magic Cause I’m almost just like a Squib Like a Squib I’m sorry that I’m not like my old pop I didn’t mean to bring shame to the family name I’m sorry that I’m not like my old pop I didn’t mean to bring shame to the family name I’ll show them all that I am meant to be Here at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Everyone will see that I’m the son Of aurors Frank and Alice Longbotoom I know that I’m not like my old pop But I won’t bring any shame to the family name I know that I’m not like my old pop But I won’t bring any shame to the family name

I wonder what it’d be like to be like Harry Well I’d be so happy to show off that scar If I was Sirius Black, so confident and cool I would have ruled the school with the Marauders Who would I choose to be If I were anyone but me It’d be cool but you see I’m ok with being me I’m ok with being me To be Fred and George, yeah that’d be so wicked I’d tell that witch Umbridge where to stick all her rules Or maybe Viktor Krum, yeah that’d be so crazy To have all the ladies swarm around me now Who would I choose to be If I were anyone but me It’d be cool but you see I’m happy just being me Oh yeah, Oh yeah Who would I choose to be If I were anyone but me It’d be cool but you see I’m happy just being me Oh yeah, Oh yeah

Now I’m staring at him face to face Oh no, do I have the strength If I give in, then who will save my friends If I give then will this be the end I’ve got to stand up I’ve got to fight back Don’t give up now, all hope’s not lost I won’t let them take us down without a fight Well it’s ok, I’m afraid too I won’t let them take us down without a fight I’m so scared I can feel my heart beat Out of my chest it makes me want to scream I know exactly just what’s at stake If I don’t cut off the head of that snake I’ve got to stand up I’ve got to fight back What do I say? I’ll join you when Hell freezes over
