LeakyStars 2013: "The Owl Song" - Original Wizard Rock video free download

Words and music by Ken Stephenson

I don't care

About the Quidditch pitch

Or the golden snitch

The Mirror of Erised

Just doesn't give me chills

I don't care

About flying brooms

Or requirement rooms

Flying a Hippogriff

Won't serve up any thrills

Ever since my older brother

Went to Hogwarts seven weeks ago

He's raved about the magic that he's seen

But I don't care

About disarming spells

On a troll who smells

Portkeys and whomping trees

Intrigue me not at all

I won't dare

Reveal to Dumbledore

That I think he's a bore

Just thinking of learning

All that magic makes me want to scowl

No I just wanna have an owl

Owls can see behind them

When they turn their heads around

They always seem profoundly shrewd and wise

So don't talk to me of centaurs

Or a spider that's hirsute

A phoenix doesn't cut

I just wanna have a bird that hoots

I don't care

About concealing cloaks

Or a wand of oak

Potions and moving stairways

Can't deliver mail

I don't care

What kind of pet

The other first years get

I don't want a beast

That makes a coo or squeak or howl

No kites or vultures

Or any other unsophisticated fowl

No I'm just in it for

I can't wait one more minute for

I've just gotta have an owl
