THE SCENE: Charms Class. FILIUS FLITWICK is lecturing his class. 
During the song, he charms various classroom items to dance along 
beside him.

FLITWICK
Height Three Foot Ten 
Got an underactive thyroid,
But I'm so artfully employed 
This is it, kids! This is it, kids!
Height Three Foot Ten
Though rather wee
Why be giant when you're reliant
On magic steroids like these....
 
Swish and flick 
Grab yourself a fancy wand
Know the charms that correspond
Turn the wrist with it 
I'll assist with it
Swish and flick! 
Used my Cheering Charm today.
Suddenly we're breaking 
Out in smiles!
Swish and flick will cast a spell 
In bang-up style!

You will get your act together 
Once you learn to float a feather
Do it shortly  
I will get these lessons hummin',
How to banish and to summon. 
This is it, kids! This is it, kids!
At Hogwarts, we 
Do more than brews
Though on books I stand I've at my command
Spells you must learn to use
How?

Swish and flick 
Fruit once made a boring stance
You will teach it how to dance
Cherry syrup, hey! 
Then we'll gear up, hey!
Shake your stick! 
Say the word Wingardium. 
Emphasize in Leviosa "s"!
Swish and flick with either wrist, 
And great finesse!

It will be fun! 
Use the Latin words. 
Float a toad, c'mon
With the wizard from
Ravenclaw and its bird
For swish and flick. 
See ya here same time each week 
As you'll hear me squeal and squeak
With a charm you can
Disarm any man
OWLS  and NEWTS, you shall neither of them fail, 
Graduation will not be delayed
Swish and flick, with swish and flick 
You'll make the grade!
