The Dark Lord's in Disarray (GoF, Ch. 36)

(To the tune of Cabaret)

Dedicated to Penny Linsenmayer

(The Scene: Madam Pomfey's infirmary. Present are Harry, Snape, 
DUMBLEDORE and CORNELIUS FUDGE, who is deep in denial regarding the 
news of Voldemort's resurrection). 

FUDGE
What good's preparing for an all-out war?
Stick your head in sand and say
The Dark Lord has gone away, oh chum,
The Dark Lord's in disarray

If Barty Crouch Junior should claim he's returned
Dementors, now earn your pay!
The Dark Lord has had his day, oh chum,
The Dark Lord's in disarray

Won't hear you whine
I'll have that banned
I do not care what Potter's saying
Here I stand, there's no gainsaying

No need admitting 
Professorial gloom
That might lead us to dismay
The Dark Lord has gone astray, oh chum
The Dark Lord's in disarray

DUMBLEDORE
Our former rival who is known as Voldy,
I think based from what Bart and Harry told me,
Has rose again and now plots to seize power - 
We've not much time, we scarce can waste an hour

Today you can become our greatest min'ster
By rising to this challenge dark and sin'ster
We'll do once more what was done one Halloween
And snuff out for all time his light so green

FUDGE
I think of Voldy to this very day
But could he have come back? – simply no way!

What good is making a policy shift?
My poll ratings could decay
The Dark Lord is out of play, oh chum
The Dark Lord's in disarray

I put down all giants, no meetings with them
Giants are never OK
The Dark Lord's been held at bay, oh chum,
The Dark Lord's in disarray

I made my mind up, and I'm not budging
Hear the voice of Cornelius Fudging

(FUDGE unceremoniously thrusts the Triwizards prize upon Harry, and 
prepares to make his exit)

Harry, your winnings, and Professor Snape,
Your Dark Mark do not display
The Dark Lord's returned to clay, oh chum,
He no longer holds his sway, by gum!
I won't end our holiday!  

(Exit)
