Gryffindor Wins! (from PoA, Chap. 15)

(To the tune of Hooray for Hollywood)

Dedicated to Rebecca Boswell

(THE SCENE:  Hogwarts' Quidditch field.  Gryffindor has just
defeated Slytherin, and for the first time in seven years, takes the 
Quidditch Cup)

GRYFFINDOR TEAM (except OLIVER WOOD)
Now, with this season, 
We had a reason 
For the Scarlet to strive to be supreme
Because our Keeper 
Can no more sleep here 
After he ages off the team 
We knew this would be his final chance, 
So we choreographed today's game like it was Flashdance

GRYFFINDOR FANS
Hooray for Ollie Wood! 
Each Gryffindorean just knew he would!
As Fred just  said to Alicia Spinnet 
"I know we'll win it, 
Our Keeper can't be withstood"

TEAM
He's bought us vict'ry  
As we evict the 
Reigning champs of the Slyther-Hood!

FANS
Potter's flight was extra good
He saw nothing in a Dementor's hood
Marcus Flint looked especially measly next to the Weasleys
And Johnson her ground she stood.
Bell played like only Katie could! 

ALL (except WOOD)
                                  Hooray for Ollie Wood!

FANS
It wasn't perty, 
Slytherin played dirty, 
They aimed all their blows below the belt

TEAM
But we did not whine, 
We stiffened our spine, 
We played the cards that we were dealt
And it all went without a glitch
 
ALL (except HARRY and OLIVER)
`Cause at the end Harry snatched the Snitch

TEAM
Hooray for Ollie Wood!  But what will happen if in Hollywood
They direct this scene with Chris Columbus, 
Who'll downward dumb us, 
With a script carved from antique wood? 
It may gross a billion
But if we look Vaudevillian
We'll tell all our friends that it's no damn good! 

ALL (except WOOD)
So let's cheer for Ollie Wood!  
He taught to us the true meaning of brotherhood!
Just watch him overwhelmed and choked up take the Quidditch Cup
Such feeling by all's understood
We'll weep too, there's that likelihood!
Hooray for Ollie 

WOOD
We won, by golly!

ALL (except WOOD)
Hooray for Ollie Wood!
