I Want an Acromantula for Christmas

to the tune of “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” by Gayla Peevey


 

I want an Acromantula for Christmas.
Only an Acromantula will do.
I don’t want a Knarl, no flaccid Flobberworm,
I want an Acromantula to play with through the term.

I want an Acromantula for Christmas.
I don’t think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won’t have to use our dirty chimney flue.
Just bring him through the fire
With a big handful of Floo!

I can see him now on Christmas morning,
Hatching from his egg.
Oh, what joy and what surprise
When I finally see his eyes
And the thick fur lining all eight legs.

I want an Acromantula for Christmas.
Only an Acromantula will do.
No Jobberknolls, or Hippocampususes;
I only like Acromantulasuses,
And Acromantulas like me too!
