Dedicated to Steve bboy_mn, whose mention of "the village PEEBLE" on 
the OT-Chatter list put this damn idea into my head:

FORD ANGLIA
(to the tune of YMCA by the Village People)


THE SCENE - CoS -- Harry and Ron finally burst through Platform 9 3/4 
to discover that the Hogwarts Express just left. Now how will they 
get to Hogwarts in time for the Sorting Ceremony?


RON
Harry, why don't we take the car, 
I mean, Harry, it is faster by far. 
Since we can't go on the Hogwarts Express, then let's
Just - pinch -Dad's - An-gli-a

HARRY
Gee, Ron, didn't know you could drive!

RON
I've been watching my big bros since I'm five
Are you with me? Are you game for the ride?
Then let's get - down - to - it -Har-ry  . . . . .

(CHORUS- HARRY and RON do a little jig with matching hand motions)

RON
It's time to fly in a Ford Anglia
We'll go up high in a Ford Anglia
It's more comfortable than a Nimbus, true,
And the seating is better for two

HARRY 
We're gonna fly in a Ford Anglia
Hope we don't die in a Ford Anglia
But since you're my friend, I'll just have to trust
You won't manage to kill both of us

RON
Wonder where the train disappeared
If this map's right, Hogwarts is getting near
See that village? It's called Peebles, in fact.
Let's just fol-low these old train tracks

HARRY
Uh oh, do you hear that big noise?
What's that rumbling? Did we make a bad choice?
Pull us up, Ron - get us out of harm's way
Or there'll be nowt left of us today . . . .

BOTH (grimacing)
Why did we fly in this Ford Anglia?
We're gonna die in this Ford Anglia!

HARRY
Now I'm hanging on by my fingernails
This will sure be one helluva tale

RON
Let's pull you into this Ford Anglia

HARRY
Boy am I glad that I'm back in the car

RON
But watch out below! It's the Whomping Willow!
Now it's tossing us to and fro


(HARRY and RON bounce around the car. Doors fly open. HARRY and RON 
fly out. FORD ANGLIA appears crushed. WHOMPING WILLOW makes a 
satisfied, grinding noise, like a belch.)
