It's a damn tough life full of toil and strife
We Jedi undergo.
And we don't give a damn when the day is done
How hard the Federation blows.
'cause we're Senate bound from the Naboo ground
But quite a few hits had, did we
Now we venture there to make repairs
With the folk of Tatooine.
Rolling down to Tatooine, me boys, rolling down to Tatooine
We're Senate bound from the Naboo ground
Rolling down to Tatooine.
Once there in town, a boy was found
In this junkyard home.
His gift was strong, and it wasn’t long
For a plan to reflect in chrome.
A pod race win with this kid
Would give them what they need
To be Senate bound from this desert ground
Rolling down to Tatooine.
Rolling down to Tatooine, me boys, rolling down to Tatooine
We're Senate bound from the desert ground
Rolling down to Tatooine.
Once more they fly through the starlit skies
All the way to Corusant
The Jedi there warn to be ware
Of the Dark side of this lad
For Fear leads to anger, anger to hate
But Qui-gon swore he knew
To train one so young as a Padawan
ObiWan took the mantle, too.
Rolling down to Tatooine, me boys, rolling down to Tatooine
We're Senate bound from the dersert ground
Rolling down to Tatooine.
A moisture hand, a hidden lad
A pilot he would be
A fate unavoided, brought by a droid
Looking for an old man, he
Lost the world he knew, and so off he flew
To find his destiny
With a wookie, a sister, a smuggler, a nephew
A father he never had seen
Return of this Jedi was quite a life
Since we last left Tatooine.
Rolling down to Tatooine, me boys, rolling down to Tatooine
We're Empire bound from the desert ground
Rolling down to Tatooine.
So much to learn, but dues well earned
The Sith were far astern
A native maid, her path outlaid
Decided to return
Been a long time since anyone lived here.
What’s your name, one man asked her
With a secret smile in the twin sunlight
My name is Skywalker
Rolling down to Tatooine, me boys, rolling down to Tatooine
In the twin moonlight, a Skywalker thrives
Rolling down to Tatooine.

To mixed blood parents I was born
Laugh away, Mock away
So I’m the target of your scorn
The Half Blood Prince will answer
Chorus:
Laugh away, you pure blood snobs
Laugh away, Mock away
Laugh away, it never stops
The Half Blood Prince will answer
I was born to modest means
Laugh away, Mock away
You taunted me all through my teens
The Half-Blood Prince will answer
Chorus
Such mockery & taunts I’ve borne
Laugh away, Mock away
Listen now & be forewarned
The Half-Blood Prince will answer
Chorus
There’s more than blood to wizardry
Laugh away, Mock away
I’ll be Headmaster, wait & see
The Half-Blood Prince will answer
Chorus
Jamesie Potter eggs them on
Laugh away, Mock away
If not for Lily, he’d be gone
The Half-Blood Prince will answer
Chorus x2

Oh Santa Anna won that day
So play Santa Anna
Now calibrate the array, they say
In the holosuite when next we go
Well, here's a fight where the end we know
Then play Santa Anna
Here's a fight where the end we know
In the holosuite when next we go
An old Spanish fort on a mission's ground
Then play Santa Anna
A mighty army will surround
In the holosuite when next we go
Well, here's a fight where the end we know
Then play Santa Anna
Here's a fight where the end we know
In the holosuite when next we go
Defeated with the rising sun
Then play Santa Anna
For they outnumber us ten to one
In the holosuite when next we go
Well, here's a fight where the end we know
Then play Santa Anna
Here's a fight where the end we know
In the holosuite when next we go
We'll model out every strategy
Then play Santa Anna
But it's hard to change from the history
In the holosuite when next we go
Well, here's a fight where the end we know
Then play Santa Anna
Here's a fight where the end we know
In the holosuite when next we go
In frustration I did say
Then play Santa Anna
But I'm glad you're at my side today
In the holosuite when next we go
Well, here's a fight where the end we know
Then play Santa Anna
Here's a fight where the end we know
In the holosuite when next we go
And now, computer, end program
No more Santa Anna
You pick a different hologram
In the holosuite when next we go

Through a secret dungeon wall
Is our common room, a hidden jewel.
With the casting of a charm
It detaches from the school,
So we cruise into the lake
And descend to a ravine
Where the squid and kelpies play
All around our submarine.
CHORUS:
We all sail in our Slytherin Submarine!
Slytherin Submarine!
Slytherin Submarine! X2
Head of House and Prefects crew
Watching grindylows form a queue
While the mermaids sing and play.
[weird interlude]
CHORUS
Spoken/instrumental:
How many Gryffindors does it take to stir a cauldron?
Just one, he puts his wand in and waits for the world to revolve around him!
Why is Moody such a crap Defense teacher?
Because he can’t control his pupils!
It’s “avada kedavra,” not "AH-va-duh KEH-duh-vruh."
In the water floating free
From expectations and enemies
We are serpents of the sea
In our Slytherin submarine!
CHORUS

Hermione Granger worked tirelessly
For the Ministry to set the House Elves free
But she tried and she found that it could never be
For the system was built on this hierarchy
So one day Hermione stood up in a huff
And finally decided enough is enough
Marched purposefully down the halls and out that Floo
With clarity on what she needed to do
The day that Hermione joined with the elves
In their revolution to liberate themselves
‘Twas a mighty coalition of elf and witch
To stand up and change what the law couldn’t fix
They organized all the ones who were free
To engage in the utmost trickery
And fool all the masters into giving clothes
Until the elves were finding freedom in droves
But the movement weren’t done, for they just couldn’t stand
The moral outrage that was Azkaban
And so the elves set sail onto the North Sea
Determined to see it through until all were free
The day that Hermione joined with the elves
In their revolution to liberate themselves
‘Twas the very day that they all began
Hatching their plan to burn down Azkaban
But when the rebellion arrived on those shores
They were met with battalions of brutal Aurors
Curses were flying; elves had to retreat
While their backs were covered by one Hermione
And so the accomplice arrested and tried
And thrown into Azkaban to suffer and die
But she grinned for she knew that they’d all soon be freed
Their plan needed an inside witch to succeed
The day that Hermione joined with the elves
When they chose to act and committed themselves
To making bold moves even if it meant war
‘Til slavery and prison torture were no more
The future transformed when she joined with the elves
In their revolution to liberate themselves
‘Twas a mighty coalition of elf and witch
They stood up and changed what the law wouldn’t fix
(With people power Azkaban went down quick)
What shall we do with Demented wailers?
What shall we do with Demented wailers?
What shall we do with Dementors? We'll set
Azkaban a-burning!
Weigh, heigh, Elf uprising
Weigh, heigh, Elf uprising
Weigh, heigh, Elf uprising
Azkaban a-burning!
Break em out with the Elven magic
Break em out with the Elven magic
Break em out with Elven magic
Azkaban a-burning!
Weigh, heigh, Elf uprising
Weigh, heigh, Elf uprising
Weigh, heigh, Elf uprising
Azkaban a-burning!
Do a little jig with ha- Hermione
Do a little jig with ha- Hermione
Do a little jig with Hermione while
Azkaban’s a-burning!
[TREBLE REEL!]
Weigh, heigh, Elf uprising
Weigh, heigh, Elf uprising
Weigh, heigh, Elf uprising
Azkaban a-burning!

H is for Halloween, the hauntingest time
We’ll all sing about it, and we’ll do it in rhyme.
A’s for the Alehouse, where the best spirits lie
Let us go now and meet there and drink the house dry.
Cheerily, Cheerily, at All Hallow’s Eve
For mortals on earth, it’s the spirits we seek
Make our pay, drink our pay, all the year long
Come all ye bold seamen, sing our Halloween song
L’s for the Lanterns, with glowing red eyes,
Just save us the insides for nice tasty pies
L’s for the Little ones, seek sweets by the pound
L’s also Loving wot brings little ones ‘round
Cheerily, Cheerily, at All Hallow’s Eve
For mortals on earth, it’s the spirits we seek
Make our pay, drink our pay, all the year long
Come all ye bold seamen, sing our Halloween song
O means ‘Ot Toddies, they warm you right up
I think I’ll have another, right ‘ere in me cup
W’s for Witches that fly on their brooms
W’s also for Whiskey, we’ll drink it down soon
Cheerily, Cheerily, at All Hallow’s Eve
For mortals on earth, it’s the spirits we seek
Make our pay, drink our pay, all the year long
Come all ye bold seamen, sing our Halloween song
E stands for Eerie, it’s that time of year
To the spirits that haunt us, raise a glass & say, ‘Cheers!’
E’s also for Excitement, you feel in the air
Libations & laughter with nary a care
Cheerily, Cheerily, at All Hallow’s Eve
For mortals on earth, it’s the spirits we seek
Make our pay, drink our pay, all the year long
Come all ye bold seamen, sing our Halloween song
N’s for November, wot’s coming up soon
In the meantime we’ll drink up, and howl at the moon!
Now we’re done singing, our letters all spelled
Let us raise up our glasses & spirits as well
Cheerily, Cheerily, at All Hallow’s Eve
For mortals on earth, it’s the spirits we seek
Make our pay, drink our pay, all the year long
Come all ye bold seamen, sing our Halloween song

Oh it’s all for me beer
Me jolly butterbeer
It’s all for me cold gillywater
Oh I spent all me knuts
Now I’m spewin’ out me guts
Far across the Hogsmeade township I must wander
Verse 1
Oh where is me robe?
Me flowy Hogwarts robe
It’s all gone for cold gillywater
Oh it’s patched up with thread
Like a Weasley’s scarlet head
Far across the Hogsmeade township I must wander
And it’s all for me beer
Me jolly butterbeer
It’s all for me cold gillywater
Oh I spent all me sickles
On some fish n’ chips with pickles
Far across the Hogsmeade township I must wander
Verse 2
Oh where is me ball?
Me red remembrall
It’s all gone for cold gillywater
Draco Malfoy’s mean to me;
And he threw it up a tree
Far across the Hogwarts grounds I must wander
And it’s all for me beer
Me jolly butterbeer
It’s all for me cold gillywater
Oh I spent all me galleons
Bettin’ on that rapscallion
Far across the Hogsmeade township I must wander
Verse 3
Oh where is me wand?
Me broken magic wand
It’s all gone for cold gillywater
See, it’s wrapped with Spellotape
And it turned Professor Snape
Into Neville’s 97 year old grandma
And it’s all for me beer
Me jolly butterbeer
It’s all for me cold gillywater
Oh I spent some Muggle bills
I found on a windowsill
Far across the Hogsmeade township I must wander
Verse 4
Oh where is me hat?
Me magic talking hat
It’s all gone for cold gillywater
I was walking out the door
And it shouted “GRYFFINDOR”
Far across the Hogwarts Great Hall I must wander

When I was just an ickle firstie everybody warned me,
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
To never anger Severus Snape, no matter what suborned me!
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
CHORUS
We’ll go (Go!) down below together to the dungeon.
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
We’ll go (Go!) down below for scrapin’ or for spongin’.
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
His eyes are all a-glitter from some nasty task he’s savin’
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
To foist upon some unsuspecting students misbehavin’
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
CHORUS
In Potions I was punished for a-brewing something tragic!
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
He had me scrubbin’ cauldrons out without the use of magic!
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
CHORUS
I got a little rowdy when I celebrated end-of-terms!
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
He set me to bare-handedly discarding rotten Flobberworms!
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
CHORUS
One rainy day I tracked in mud, the castle thus befouling.
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
He handed me the horned toads and I set to disemboweling.
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
CHORUS
For seven years, did Severus Snape creatively torment us!
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
And that is how I qualified to be his new apprentice!
Beware, oh beware detention with Snape!
CHORUS
