We Got The Bets Right Here!

to the tune of "Fugue For Tinhorns" from GUYS AND DOLLS

midi version: http://www.broadwaymidi.com/shows/guys_and_dolls.html

(but in my version they don't sing the verses in a round)

 

(The Scene: GoF pg. 87-88 where everyone is meeting Ludo Bagman for the first time at the World Cup)

"Fancy a flutter on the match, Arthur?" (Ludo) said eagerly, jingling what seemed

to be a large amount of gold in the pockets of his yellow-and-black robes.

 

LUDO:

Roddy Pontner here bet that Bulgarier will be the first to score and give a cheer--

nice odds, nice odds, and Ireland's front three are strong

so I offered him nice odds, nice odds, nice odds.

 

Ms. Timms bet half her eels because she really feels that the 

match will last for 20 meals--

week-long, week-long, she thinks it'll go week-long,

(I'll be eating eel 'fore long!)

week-long, week-long.

 

 

FRED AND GEORGE:

All our money's up for Ireland to win the Cup, but that the 

snitch is caught by Seeker Krum-- 

fake wand, fake wand, we'll even throw in a fake wand,

as long as we don't get conned,

fake wand, fake wand.

 

LUDO: Front three strong...

FRED: Eel 'fore long...

GEORGE: Don't get conned...

 

ALL THREE: We got the bets right here!
