The hopping oot

There once was a wizard who helped neighbor muggles
By mixing them potions to cure plight and disease
When said wizard died he left his old cauldron to his son-
Begged him to spread dad's legacy
The very same night came a knock on the door
Was an old peasant woman looking far from okay
Said granddaughter's warts needed potion for healing
But the selfish young wizard sent her away

Then the wizard stopped and listened for a minute
Was a strange clanging noise coming from the kitchen
And he cursed his father as he turned around
And saw the magic cauldron hopping on the ground
It had sprouted a single foot of brass
And had warts all over its bulky mass
Couldn't shut it up or curse it away
So the cauldron had to stay
Hopping cauldron had to stay

The wizard was sleepless cuz the cauldron was noisy
But next morning at breakfast knocked a man who was poor
Said his donkey was missing and he couldn't feed his family
But the selfish young wizard just slammed the door

Then the wizard stopped and listened for a minute
Was a strange braying noise coming from the kitchen
And he cursed his father as he turned around
As the hopping pot made wretched sounds
Were the clangs of the foot and the screams of the donkey
And the groans of a family going hungry
Couldn't shut it up or curse it away
So the cauldron had to stay
Hopping cauldron had to stay

That night after dinner woman begged for her baby
When the wizard got angry, cauldron started to cry
And before very long now, it was carrying more ailments
But the selfish young wizard turned a blind eye

Then the wizard stopped and listened for a minute
Were a million noises coming from the kitchen
And he cursed his father as he turned around
As the hopping pot made wretched sounds
Were the clangs of the foot and the screams of the donkey
And the groans of a family going hungry
The warts kept growing and the tears kept flowing
The dogs kept barking and the pot kept choking
It spewed sour milk and it sprayed bad cheese
It spit a stream of slugs and it barfed some bees
Screamed and it cried and it whined and it retched
Burned and it turned and it spilled, overflowed
And it goes and it goes and it hopped and it hopped
And it hopped and it hopped and it hopped and it hopped and it hopped
(breakdown)

I'll cure you of sickness, I'll heal you of hunger
Just make this pot shut up, I beg, I implore
When good deeds were done gave the brass foot a slipper
And the hopping pot's hopping was noisy no more, no more
And the selfish young wizard was selfish no more
