Dark Arts Are Fought by DADA

(To the tune of My Heart Belongs to Daddy)

Dedicated to Rebecca Bohner

The Scene: The Defense Against Dark Arts classroom. Enter Quirrell, 
Lockhart, Lupin and Moody/Crouch)

ALL
Good wizards fall 
If in the thrall
Of those who call
On dark forces
So it is taught
How they are fought
When you are brought
To our courses

ALL (except LUPIN)
Though the theme's solemn
Yet we comprise a fifth column

ALL
Defense we teach, but sometimes preach
A practice dark and diabolic

MOODY & QUIRRELL
Cause we're so bad, 

LUPIN
                  or quite moonbeam mad

LOCKHART
Or just anti-workaholic 

MOODY
We teach effects of hateful hex

LOCKHART
Or how best to recapture pixies

LUPIN
Of boggart lore I have tons galore

QUIRRELL
But we do play fiendish tricks, see


ALL (except LUPIN)
Yes, Dark Arts are fought by DADA
But some of us keep going bad
We three have all tried to harm Potta
Rat-tat-tat Rat-tat-tat Rat-tat-tat

LUPIN
>From Moody whose eye was mad-da
To Quirrell who kept Voldy at rear 
All of Hogwarts ought to be glad-da
That those guys just lasted one year
 
ALL
Yes, Dark Arts are fought by DADA
But DADA doesn't always mean well
Next year, DADA will be a lady
With some shady secret to tell

LUPIN
You'll seek it,
She'll tweak it
She won't dare to speak it
The secret of your next DADA
