That V-Word is Scaring Us

(to the tune of The Age of Aquarius)

(Enter Chorus of Hogwarts students, faculty, and sundry Hogsmeade 
residents.  Enter, from opposite direction, Harry Potter, Albus 
Dumbledore, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black)

CHORUS 
When the Dark Lord fell from power
And became so faint and lame
He could no longer make us cower
But we're still too afraid to say his name

It may seem mental but
That V-Word is scaring us 
It sounds so precarious
It's scaring us!
So nefarious!
Try sparing us!

HARRY, DUMBLEDORE, LUPIN, BLACK
If you bring yourselves to say it
Its spell upon you will disperse
If you have courage, then display it!
Do not fear his Cruciatus curse.

CHORUS
We're not quite the courageous sort
So we won't say the name of Volde – oops!

CHORUS
(simultaneously with below)
You almost had us, and 
That V-Word's still scaring us 
With a horror vicarious
It's impairing us!
It's not hilarious!
Stop daring us!

HARRY, DUMBLEDORE, LUPIN, BLACK
(simultaneously with above)
We almost had you, but
That V-Word's still scaring you
Because you lack derring-do
It's impairing you!
But we're preparing to
Vanquish You-Know-Who!
