It's not easy getting yourself a werewolf
Brewing up the Wolfsbane Potion
Offering a soothing lotion
Merlin, can’t he see how I want him?
Love’s like something I've forgotten
Curled up died and now it's rotten

I'm not a real Death Eater
Don't want to be a bad guy
I'm just a loner baby
And now I want you in my bed

I can't decide
If you’re stupid or just shy
Though I’ve tried to make it obvious
It’s hard while I’m a spy
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Climb aboard my broomstick, wolf
We're going for a ride

It's a bitch convincing people to trust me
If I stopped now call me a quitter
If lies were cubs I'd be a litter
Pleasing everyone isn't like me
Crucios are more my style
Hexing Mudbloods with a smile

I've got to hand it to you
You've always lived by the rules
A wolf in wizard’s clothing
And now I’m longing for you

I can't decide
If you’re stupid or just shy
Though I’ve tried to make it obvious
It’s hard while I’m a spy
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Climb aboard my broomstick, wolf
We're going for a ride

Oh I could take you out to dine
And get you tipsy on red wine
And then I'd cover you with chocolate for dessert

Or I could lock you up in chains
But you might break out when you Change
And eat me when I'm sleeping
That's why

I can't decide
If you’re stupid or just shy
Though I’ve tried to make it obvious
It’s hard while I’m a spy
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Climb aboard my broomstick, wolf
We're going for a ride

I played the song on the link you offered while reading this, and it was hilarious and fun. I especially like the chorus with the "I can't decide if you're stupid or just shy." XD Very Severus. I fucking loved it.

It's a fantastic song, isn't it? The original, I mean!
Glad you enjoyed! :D

OMG, that's good! Not an easy thing to have Severus's voice come through in pop-tune style--you're amazing!

My favorite lines...

If I stopped now call me a quitter
If lies were cubs I'd be a litter

Ha!...nearly choked on my salad.

This is a keeper!

btw...I may be stupid, but I'm not shy--what's filk?

Glad you liked it! Although if you've listened on the link you'll realise that in the bit you quoted I only changed one word... I was spoilt by this being such a fabulous song to start with!

what's filk?

scribbulus_ink explained this far better than I could in the lupin_snape Challenge Post
