Tourney Journey (GoF, Chap. 12)

To the tune of Razzle Dazzle from Chicago

Dedicated to GilPlum

THE SCENE: The Great Hall. During the start-of term feast, DUMBLEDORE 
announces plans for upcoming year

DUMBLEDORE (spoken) We are to have the honor of hosting a very 
exciting event over the coming months, an event that has not been 
held for over a century
..

(music)
This year we'll hold Tourney Journey
Tourney turn we to
So as to boost collegiality
We'll bring back games with high mortality
Restore old-time hocus pocus
New traditions now
Soon you will see the sequel that we'll host

Students will do feats of daring
As Rowling leaves a few red herrings
Tourney Journey now
Soon three champions will boast

CHORUS OF STUDENTS
We're gonna hold Tourney Journey
Tourney turn we to
Hogwarts is makin' it more feasible
To compete in the Axis-Weasel-Bowl
Don't tout them old Durmstrang Teutons
We'll cork Korkaroff
They'll be no need to bother keeping score

MALES ONLY
We'll play the babes from brash Beauxbaton
They'll be impressed by our nice long wands

FEMALES ONLY
Tourney Journey we 
As in legends of yore!

DUMBLEDORE
The champ will win Tri-Wiz prizes
Thousand Galleons
But if you're not a seventeen-year-old
Then an age line unseen will unfold

It will be a three-feat Tourney
Simply staggerin'
Who will compete in this great test of skill?

You will learn just what Corny Fudge meant,
"It's gonna be impartial judgment"
Learn who Tourneys here
Oh,  the crowds they will thrill!

DUMBLEDORE & CHORUS
Give 'em the old Tourney Journey
Tourney Journey now
Show 'em the first-rate sorcerer you are
Vic'try will be a great achievement
Hopefully earned without bereavement
Tourney Journey now

Tourney Journey now
Tourney Journey now

And we'll make you a star!

MOODY (aside)
Get the kid with the scar!
