When Dementors Journey (from PoA, Chap. 5)

(To the tune of Sentimental Journey)

(THE SCENE: A cabin of the Hogwarts Express, en route to Hogwarts.
Passengers include HARRY, RON  and PROF. LUPIN. The train suddenly screeches
to halt, and is plunged in darkness. LUPIN magically creates a flame in his
hand for illumination. Enter a Dementor, searching for Sirius Black)

RON
Did you ever see Dementors journey?
They're not too friendly, so I've been told

(HARRY passes out.)

Hey, please, someone - quickly get a gurney
Harry Potter has been knocked out cold

(LUPIN moves to assist him)

HARRY (reviving)
As it entered I felt my spirit sicken
Its dark hood loomin' above me so huge
It looked just like that ghost from out of Dickens
That went time-turnin' with old Mr. Scrooge

LUPIN (giving a slab of chocolate to HARRY)
Choc'late! Please make sure that you consume some choc'late!
As for you, Dementor, hey, now knock it
Off  because you are way off-track
Here, we don't have Black.

(Exit Dementor)

ALL
On a train Dementors should not journey
They're all filled with slime and with pus
Here's a lesson that we ought to learn, we
Should only let them ride at the back of the bus.
