Just Pass Me By (OOP, Chap. 16)

To the tune of Don't Pass Me By, by the Beatles (a group we never 
pass by/bypass)

Hear a MIDI at:

Dedicated to that extremely enchanting Philadelphia woman who has 
made The Beatles and HP filking virtually synonymous

THE SCENE: The Hog's Head Inn. HARRY, expecting only a handful of 
student inquiries concerning Hermione's proposed extra-curricular 
DADA classes, is flummoxed when over two dozen fellow students enter.

HARRY (to Hermione):
Just look at all those students
Coming through the door
Look at all those students
You said three or four

CHORUS OF STUDENTS
Waiting for your lecture
In this run-down bar 
We must hear it
How you came to be the hero that you are

HARRY
I hear the students asking
How I saved myself 
It was not my doing 
I had lots of help

CHORUS OF STUDENTS
But whenever there was a fight 
You won and kept your health
You must teach us 
How you came to be the hero with the scar

HARRY
Just pass me by, I'm not your guy, I can't teach you
Though I know Umbridge hasn't got a clue
Dark Arts Defense is too intense
The hurdles are so immense
Just pass me by, I'm not your guy, I can't teach you

CHORUS OF STUDENTS
Although some may have doubted you
Your skills are so rare 
You flew against dragons
Snakes slew in dark lairs. 
We think it would be great
If you were our tutor 
And maybe we'll learn with Herm to say 
That scary name "Voldemort."

Don't pass us up, no "ifs" or "buts," don't drop the ball
'Cause you know, Harry, we would learn it all
We merely seek to once a week
Enhance defensive spell techniques
Don't pass us up, no "ifs" or "buts"......

HARRY POTTER FILKS 
http://home.att.net/~coriolan/hpfilks.htm 

P.s. Our next update (look for it in three or four days from now) 
will be humungous in terms of quality: not only will it include our 
third complete Beatles album, it will also include Salazar's full-
length OOP musical The Order based on the film version of Chicago 
(Salazar also sent us three different filks set to the Major-
General's song from G & S's Pirates of the Carribean, oops, I mean 
Penzance, as well as Draco's musical exile to Middle Earth), *and* a 
culling of all of HPF's Christmas Carols, suitable for all non-
amphibian-bearing choirs (this is Rowling, not Aristophanes!)
