500 Rules

Listen here: 500 Rules

Written and performed by The Guru of Sloth to the tune of “500 Miles” by the Proclaimers.

When I break rules yeah I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the one who’s breakin’ rules with you
And when I skive off of boring herbology
I’m gonna be the one who’s skivin’ off with you
If I get caught yes I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the one who gets caught ’cause of you
And in detention – if a drawer’s marked “Highly
Dangerous” I know I’m filchin’ it with you

CHORUS:
‘Cause I would break 500 rules
And I would break 500 more
Just to be the ones to break a thousand rules
For the pride of Gryffindor

When I’m too young for a triwizard champ to be
I’m gonna be the one who tries to cheat with you
And if we grow beards ’cause Dumbledore is so crafty
I’m gonna be the one who’s growin’ beards with you
When I come home (when I come home) furious with ol’ Percy
I’ll be the only one as furious as you
And if we tease him, just a bit mercilessly
I’m gonna be the one still teasing him with you

CHORUS:
‘Cause I would break 500 rules
And I would break 500 more
Just to be the ones to break a thousand rules
For the pride of Gryffindor
Ta da da da (ta da da da)
Ta da da da (ta da da da)
la da da dum deda lum deda la alalalalallaalalla
Ta da da da (ta da da da)
Ta da da da (ta da da da)
la da da dum deda lum deda la alalalalallaalalla

When I’m working on the Weasleys Wizard Wheezes
Well I’ll be the one who’s doin’ work with you
And if I get rich, well you know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the one who’s gettin’ rich with you
When the time comes (when the time comes) and we’ve gotta face Voldie
I’m gonna be the one who’s facin’ him with you
And when we beat him (when we beat him) well it’s up to you and me
To throw a humongous party, yeah, me and you
‘Cause that’s just the thing us Weasley Twins should do

CHORUS:
‘Cause I would break 500 rules
And I would break 500 more
Just to be the ones to break a thousand rules
For the pride of Gryffindor
Ta da da da (ta da da da)
Ta da da da (ta da da da)
la da da dum deda lum deda la alalalalallaalalla
Ta da da da (ta da da da)
Ta da da da (ta da da da)
la da da dum deda lum deda la alalalalallaalalla
