In praise of William Topaz McGonagall<br>
<br>
McGonagall, McGonagall<br>
There's no one like McGonagall<br>
He wrote poems like no one has at all<br>
So when my life begins to pall<br>
I feed my my mind on William (Topaz) McGonagall<br>
<br>
McGonagall, McGonagall<br>
I really like him best of all<br>
So if your spirits start to fall<br>
Resucitate with William (Topaz) McGonagall<br>
<br>
McGonagall, McGonagall<br>
Resides now in that famed mall<br>
Holding all his fans in thrall<br>
As he recites the words of William (Topaz) McGonagall<br>
<br>
McGonagall, McGonagall<br>
 William (Topaz) McGonagall<br>
You so clearly heard that call<br>
Summoning you to that Elysium hall<br>
On yonder hill there stands a coo ....good bye, good bye, that's all <br>
