about

This is the very first song we ever wrote, from the perspective of Gilderoy Lockhart. If you play guitar, you might recognize the 3 chords from another popular Wizard Rock song. (I'm a Wizard, Harry & the Potters). Shhh, don't tell.

lyrics

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I’d like to introduce you to your new
Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher…me!
Class is in session - so beware
Of monsters, Boggarts and beasties - don’t be scared
My name is Lockhart, Gilderoy J.
Smashing ghouls by night and trolls by day
But I didn’t defeat the Bandon Banshee by smiling at it
It took lots of courage and the sharpest wit
Skills, charms and incantation only I possess
When it comes down to it, I’m simply the best!
Winner of Witch Weekly’s Most Charming Smile Award
Five times last December, but you can make one more
Order of Merlin, 3rd Class
Vanquishing the Bandon Banshee was no easy task
But I didn’t defeat the Bandon Banshee by smiling at it
It took lots of courage and the sharpest wit
Skills, charms and incantation (that) only I can possess
When it comes down to it, I’m better than the rest!
All of this many seem glamorous as can be
But danger and peril is bread and butter to me
I won’t be far behind wherever evil lurks
For more information, see my published works
(But enough about me)
