Call the Order (OOP, Chap. 3)

To the tune of Join the Circus, from the musical Barnum (Cy Coleman & 
Mark Bramble)

Dedicated to Haggridd

THE SCENE: Four Privet Drive. Members of the Order of the Phoenix 
arrive to escort HARRY to a place of safety.


MOODY: When the Dark Lord's made his comeback and you top his hit list
TONKS: When your Aunt and Uncle treat you like you do not exist
DIGGLE: When you bicker with your cousin and you nearly get Kissed
LUPIN: You can insist
That they cease and desist 

ALL (except HARRY)
Just call the Order of the Phoenix and 
Get ready to soar
We're the secret organization that 
Was designed by Dumbledore 
We'll stop Voldy's megalomania and his cruel AK
We shall send him back to his doom again
Back to his tomb again, back to decay
Once the Order of the Phoenix strikes
He'll be swiftly swept away

JONES: When your best friends aren't confiding and you're outside the 
loop
DOGE: When you have to hide in bushes to hear all the news scoops
VANCE: And you're feeling really 15 like you can't give a whoop
SHACKLEBOLT: Think not to droop
Simply summon our group

ALL (except HARRY)
Just call the Order of the Phoenix and 
Get ready to fly
We're the secret organization that 
Aims to make Death Eaters die
The bird praised by old Herodotus and Paul's pal Clement
That's the symbol we have adopted here
That's we've co-opted here, our main event
Time to fly, you're gonna leave home again
For the Order has been sent

PODMORE: When you get an owl from Hopkirk saying turn in your wand 
VANCE & TONKS: When you first react with panic and make plans to 
abscond
JONES & MOODY: Then retreat into your bedroom to despair and despond
LUPIN & SHACKLEBOLT: Then it's time to respond
To these magical bonds

ALL (except HARRY)
Just call the Order of the Phoenix and 
Get ready to rise
Nymphodora and Alastor Moody
Head this list of your allies
Emmeline, Hestia and Dedalus of the Advance Guard
Kingsley, Sturgis, and Remus L. again 
All will be well again, Doge will bombard
Spread your wings, you now will leave home again
In this series where you've starred. 


TONKS & PODMORE: Hail the bird that from the ashes rise
ALL: Phoenix! Phoenix!
MOODY & DIGGLE: It's the bird that knows of no demise
ALL: Phoenix! Phoenix!
VANCE & SHACKLEBOLT: See it rise triumphantly into the air
With its plumage just as multicolored as Tonks' hair
LUPIN, DOGE & JONES: Its song of valor serving to inspire us, 
Phoenix! Phoenix!
We dare of what duty requires us, Phoenix! Phoenix!
ALL: Share the danger of the flight with us
Climb away into the night with us
Stalwart Aurors here to fight with us
Find a safe harbor tonight with us
.


MOODY (spoken)  We don't brake ranks for anything, got me? If one of 
us is killed
.

TONKS: (spoken)  Stop being so cheerful, Mad-Eye, he'll think we're 
not taking this seriously


 
LUPIN:  (spoken)  Mount your brooms, that's the first signal
HARRY: (spoken)  Second signal, let's go!
 
ALL: When the Order comes your way



(HARRY & The Order ascend on their brooms )

HARRY (soaring skywards):
I'll join The Order of the Phoenix to flee from Privet Drive 
Nymphodora, Remus and Alastor 
Guarantee that I'll survive
Woke up in a state of misery, wound up A-OK
Pack my owl, my trunk, and broom again
Ready to zoom again, show me the way
Disillusioned, gonna leave home again
For today I've met the Order 
 
ALL (rapidly ascending)
Be proud to say you/I called the Order 
Fly right this way and join the Order 
Just stick a banner on your/ my wand and
Call the Order like you/I wanted to
Like you/I always wanted to
Fly away!!

Exuent omnes, on broomstick, toward London
