lyrics
Harry Potter (Potter) met his best friend Ron
On the Hogwarts train, and they introduced themselves
They were getting pretty hungry when
The trolley came around
Ron was like, “I’ll take a chocolate frog”
Harry stared at him, he was simply just agog
“Do they really jump? Can you put it in your mouth?
Will they jump onto the ground?”
Ron said, “Well you know the coolest part
Is opening the frog and checking out the card
There are famous people on each and every one
You can see them when they’re here”
Harry looked at the card in this hand
And there he was, an old and handsome man
With a long white beard and a steady hand
Who’s also super queer
Chocolate frogs, oh, chocolate frogs
Just how many cards can you get?
Opening and opening and opening and opening…
These chocolate frogs
Upon opening old Dumbledore’s card
Hardly believing it, he turned his head to Ron
In a whisper, shaking with excitement now
He asked, “Is he really gay?”
Ron said, “There’s a really fun fact
Every single card that was ever ever packed
In a chocolate frog that was ever on the rack
Is LGBTQIA”
Then a smile slowly crossed Harry’s face
Every doubt and fear of magic was erased
There are magic people who are gay and bi and ace!
And they’re waiting just for me
Ron saw the look of Harry’s awe
And was taken back to the moment when he saw
He was not alone, he was truly home
In the queer community
Chocolate frogs, oh, chocolate frogs
Just how many cards can you get?
Opening and opening and opening and opening…
These chocolate frogs
Opening and opening and opening and opening…
These chocolate frogs
(Sigh) Would you look at all these cards…
