Filk: Couldn?t It Be Hufflepuff?

[Amy Z]

No: HPFGUIDX 58031

Moe:  Aaaaaaah!  Leopold and Loeb are headed this way!

Joe:  No, silly, it's Lerner and Loewe.  You know, the
guys who wrote My Fair Lady?

Moe:  I said Leopold and Loeb, and I meant what I
said!  It's the dreaded duo!  The Bonnie Parker and
Clyde Barrow, the Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane,
the Frank and Jesse James, the Butch Cassidy and the
Sundance Kid of filkdom!  Bolt your doors and bar your
windows . . . it's . . . it's . . . Amy Z. and
Haggridd!


"Couldnt It Be Hufflepuff?," a filk of Wouldnt It
Be
Loverly, which is indeed from My Fair Lady by Lerner
and Loewe.  

Dedicated to the hardworking, fair, patient, cheerful
Kelley, who proves that Hufflepuffian characteristics
are worthy of our greatest respect


The HUFFLEPUFFS uncharacteristically take the stage to
dream big, by Hufflepuff standards . . .

ERNIE MACMILLAN:

The Hogwarts term is done, weve shown them all that
were hot stuff, mm . . . 

CEDRIC DIGGORY:

Well win the Quidditch Cup, this is a promise, not a
bluff, mm . . .

JUSTIN FINCH-FLETCHLEY:

The other Houses know that we are surely good enough .
. .

ERNIE, CEDRIC, and JUSTIN (in rich harmony):

Mm, mm, couldnt it be Hufflepuff?

(Returning to reality, the HUFFLEPUFFS sing in
unison):

We're too modest to stake a claim 
But we'd love just an ounce of fame 
The year-end banners' name 
Oh, couldn't it be Hufflepuff? 

PROFESSOR SPROUT:

All these years weve been second-best

RAVENCLAWS, GRYFFINDORS, and SLYTHERINS chime in
helpfully: 

You mean fourth 

HUFFLEPUFFS, grimacing:

and were so depressed.
Worst grades, worst team, worst dressed
Why is it always Hufflepuff?

Were so Hufflepuff, we just work and smile and get
raw deals
And to be quite blunt, were sick of being the school
schlemiels 

CEDRIC:

All we want is to win one Task
One bright light in which we can bask
Is that so much to ask?
Oh, couldnt it be Hufflepuff?

HANNAH ABBOTT, KEVIN WHITBY and SUSAN BONES
(sighingly):

Hufflepuff . . .

LAURA MADLEY, ELEANOR BRANSTONE and OWEN CAULDWELL
(diffidently)

Hufflepuff . . . 

ERNIE, JUSTIN, and PROFESSOR SPROUT (wistfully):

Hufflepuff . . . 

CURLY-HAIRED GIRL WHO ASKS HARRY TO THE BALL AND ISNT
EVEN GIVEN THE DIGNITY OF A NAME (dreamily):

Hufflepuff!


Amy Z. and Haggridd
