Hello Dobby (filk)

[Caius Marcius]

No: HPFGUIDX 29592

NOTE: This filk is by Judy Nathanson (not by me.).  I'm posting it 
here with her permission.  If you've visited my website recently, you 
may recognize Judy as an author of some recent filks. She just 
started her own Harry Potter site, Potter and All

http://www.potter-and-all.com

She offers about three dozen filks and poems on her site, as well as 
some fanfic.  What is especially innovative (at least from the 
vantage point of my technically-challenged site) is that she offers 
wav. files in which she sings some of her filks (believe me, you 
don't want to hear what my voice does to my filks).  On the whole, 
her filks tend to be more serious than mine (or the others posted to 
HP4GU), but this following example is wonderfully comic.

Hello Dobby

(To the tune of "Hello Dolly")


Hello Dobby
Well, Hello Dobby
It's so strange to see an elf upon my bed

What did you say?, Dobby
I should stay?, Dobby
In this place where they all hate me;
Have you lost your head!?

Here, I'm worse than a stranger
If I face danger
Let it be where I have come to know myself, elf!

Please don't wail, Dobby
Give me back all my mail, Dobby
Your 'saving me' is costing me my health!

Don't be a pest, Dobby
They have guests, Dobby
If they hear us they will punish me for sure!

It's gonna hurt, Dobby
If dessert, Dobby
Floats around the kitchen, then comes tumbling to the floor

Because you came, Dobby
Missed the train, Dobby
Wrecked the Weasley's car and got scarred by that tree, then,
Broke my arm, Dobby
You're doin' less good than harm, Dobby

Here's a sock from Malfoy, elf;
Put some clothes upon yourself;
Dobby'll never be a slave again!
