DOBBY'S MASTER'S GONE AWAY!

(to the tune of "Jimmy Crack Corn")

(The scene:  Dobby is working for pay in the kitchens of Hogwarts during GOF, and is distracted from his task as he starts to reminisce(sp?) on how he got free (events of COS) to the other House-Elves.  They, of course, are too busy preparing food and washing dishes to listen to that *strange* Dobby and are trying their best to ignore him. This scene is not in GOF *per say*, but one of those behind-the-scenes events that *could* have happened...)

DOBBY (Spoken) Ah, you don't know what all you is missing, working for pay and choosing where you is working.  It was not easy for Dobby to be set free.  But thanks to the good, noble, great Harry Potter, I is free to choose where to work.. Dobby remembers it Iike it was only yesterday...

(banjo music starts playing an intro -- plink, plink, plink, plink)

 

When Dobby was house-elf, Dobby would wait 

upon the Malfoy's and give' em their plates

Dobby poured pumpkin juice when they gots dry...

And hoped that Lucius Malfoy would die!

 

Master made me punish self, but Dobby don't care

Master made me burn self, but Dobby don't care

Master kicked me tiny bum, but Dobby don't care

Dobby's Master's gone away!

 

Dobby warned Harry to not return 

to Hogwart's or he'd really get burned..

Dobby's Master had some dastardly plans

to turn Harry over into Tom's hands

 

Dobby tossed the pudding, but Harry don't care.

Dobby closed the platform, but Harry don't care.

Dobby broke Harry's arm, but Harry don't care....

Harry didn't go away.

 

BUT....(a little slower, with reverence)

The great Harry Potter helped set Dobby free

By puttin'  Harry's sock on Tom's diary

He threw it to Master

Who caught it furiously..

(back to tempo)

and tossed the sock right to Dobby!

 

Master gave me clothes, and set Dobby free

Master gave me clothes and set Dobby free

Master gave me clothes and set Dobby free

And now Dobby gets paying!

 

Dobby got revenge on his old Master 

by hexing him down the stairs right after

he was about to hurt Mr. Potter

But Dobby got even with that old rotter!

 

Dobby gets pay now, and you should too

Dobby gets pay now, and you should too

Dobby gets pay now, and you should too

And be just like Dobby!

(Dobby ends on bended knee with arms out wide, a satisfied grin on his face.  The other house-elves shake their heads  whispering phrases to each other like,"Poor Dobby..." "Dobby should be ashamed..." "Dobby gots too much freedom..."       "Oh, well." he sighs.  "Dobby tried."  He stands up, shuffles his mismatched-sock-covered feet over to the counter again, picks up the potato he was peeling and gets back to work.)
