Ron's Lament Songtext
Spent years in the background
Never got to make my move
Did everything Harry needed
Never got into my groove
Fifth year should have had my chance
Gotten up on top
Knew I would get recognized
Someone made me stop

If you only saw me on the big screen
How the hell would you know?
I was a Prefect, played some Quidditch
Your mind should have been blown

It's all gone
It all disappeared
No one knew
No one got to hear
It's all gone
I was just a sidekick
I had nothing
That screenwriter's a dick

Should've got more screen time
Got a lot of play in the pages
Called the first-years midgets
Helped Harry through his rages
Tried out for the Quidditch team
Katie gave me my chance
Made a bunch of good saves
Didn't have to learn dance

Have you ever heard the song
Malfoy wrote about me
He called me the Weasel King
Why'd you ever doubt me?

It's all gone
It's all disappeared
No one knew
No one got to hear
It's all gone
Everything I'd done
All I did on screen
Was Expecto Patronum

You should be amazed I got my Patronus at all
What happy thoughts could call my brain their home
Only thing I ever did that didn't make me look dumb
Was that chess game in the Sorcerer's Stone

Thought the fifth film might
Be my chance to show it off
Stretch my range, get some play
So people wouldn't scoff
What'd you see instead of that?
I don't even know it
I'm not just a flat character
Just wish I could show it

Weasley is our King, you know
The Quaffle, I kept out
That final match was brilliant
Everyone did shout
Even my best friends missed
My awesome Quidditch stops
But if you'd got to see me up there
You'd give me some mad props
(Repeat refrain 2 and 1)

It's all gone
It's all disappeared
No one knew
No one got to hear
Relegated again
Back on the back burner
Want to go back to film one
Give me a Time Turner

Where's my time
It's all been removed
What's my crime?
I'm just as cool as you
Relegated again
No one seems to miss me
Maybe in the sixth film
Lavender'll still kiss me

Who am... I kidding...?
Who am... I fooling...?
Who will... help me... shine...?

Will you... remember...?
Will you... want to...?
Will you... respect the... king...?
