THE SCENE: The Forbidden Forest. HARRY & RON, about to served up as 
entrée items to the kin of Aragog, are rescued, deus ex machina, by 
Arthur Weasley's feral Flying Ford Anglia.

RON
Mine eye has seen the glory of the coming of our Ford
He's survived the Whomping Willow Tree that both of us deplored
It's become our fondest hope that now the pedal will be floored
Forward our Ford goes on!

BOTH
Glory, glory Ford Anglia
We're so very glad to see ya!
Aragog, it's time to flee ya!
Our Ford goes forging on!

HARRY
Woodward followed the money, and Astaire followed the Fleet
We followed lines of spiders that from Hogwarts did retreat
And we soon met up with Aragog, who thinks we're good to eat
Then Ford came flying on!

BOTH
Glory, glory Ford Anglia
You magic automobile, ya!
You're the best thing on four wheel-sah
Let's go forth on our Ford!

HARRY
The Ford is really sparking up, into high gear it shifts
Between us and the spiders there's an ever-growing width
If ever meet a villain like the Dark Lord of the Sith
Let's get on board our Ford!

BOTH
Glory, glory Ford Anglia
Beautiful as any Veela
Love to hear those tires squeal-ah!
Forthwith we'll call our Ford!

(The Ford takes HARRY, RON  & Fang to the edge of the Forest)

RON
We find that Hagrid's innocent, though his pets are quite nasty
But now my father's auto we must make an honoree
As he drove us through the foliage, let him drive so he'll stay free
May the Force be with our Ford!

(As the Ford drives off back into the Forest, HARRY and RON offer a 
parting salute)

BOTH
Glory, glory Ford Anglia
Blessings be upon your deal-ah
We'll not for spiders be a meal-ah
A fortress is our Ford!

Glory, glory Ford Anglia
Glory, glory Ford Anglia
Glory, glory Ford Anglia
May the Force be with our Ford!
