We Love To Go To Hogsmeade (a filk)

No: HPFGUIDX 54868

This is a filk of the song "I Love To Cry At Weddings" from the Cy 
Coleman and Dorothy Fields musical
"Sweet Charity".  It's called "We Love To Go To Hogsmeade".  You can 
hear the original music at:

This filk is dedicated to my new friend Textual Sphinx-- or, as I 
call her, "Tex"-- as a votive offering for all the enjoyment I 
experienced when I read her erudite history and sang along with 
fabulous filks of her Sorting Songs.

            We Love To Go To Hogsmeade

SCENE:  The Weasley twins are enumerating the wonders of Hogsmeade to 
Harry, who has been unable to get his permission slip signed.

FRED:
We love to go to Hogsmeade,
We have so much fun at Hogsmeade. 
In Honeydukes there's chocoballs
And cockroach clusters in the stalls.
The Shrieking Shack will scare you,
Just go there if you dare to.
In Zonko's Joke Shop you can find
Great dungbombs that will blow your mind.
The kind of "kaboom" tricks
That can blow up the Three Broomsticks;
Pranks quite guaranteed to entertain.
We love to go to Hogsmeade,
Wizard town of Hogsmeade,
Near the school, near the lake, near the train.

GEORGE:
We love to go to Hogsmeade,
We are mesmerized by Hogsmeade.
We heard that you can't make that trip
'Cause you have no permission slip.
No matter, we're elated; 
We've this thing Filch confiscated.
So Harry, don't you shed a tear
We brought a bit of festive cheer.
This map's the thing that you 
Need; you just tap on the statue.
"Dissendium" you say, and down you climb.
If you want to go to Hogsmeade--
Underground to Hogsmeade-- 
With this map, it's a snap, every time.
