Save Ginny Weasley
Harry and the Potters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you worried that the spiders run away?
Are you petrified of being petrified?
Are we going to have to save the school again?
We've got to save Ginny Weasley from the basilisk
We've got to save the school from that unseen horror
We've got to save Ginny Weasley from the basilisk
It's been freaking out all the kids
It even took out Miss Norris
Ate up the film in Colin's camera
and petrified our friend Hermione Granger
We've got to save Ginny Weasley from the basilisk
We've got to save the school from that unseen horror
We've got to save Ginny Weasley from the basilisk
We've got to save the school again
You can't take my best friend's sister
You can't take my best friend's sister
You can't take my best friend's sister
And get away with it
We've got to save Ginny Weasley from the basilisk
We've got to save the school from that unseen horror
We've got to save Ginny Weasley from the basilisk
We've got to save the school again
We've got to save Ginny Weasley from the basilisk
We've got to save the school from that unseen horror
We've got to save Ginny Weasley from the basilisk
We've got to save the school again

To whoever wrote this song: I really love this darned song. It's become my default motivational song for all the NTSA stuff I have to do in my life. Why? Because we have to save Ginny Weasley from the basilisk that's why. Save the Weasley. Save the school. Yet again. Save the World.
