The Hogwarts High Inquisitor's Song

ttto _Behold the Lord High Executioner,_ from _The Mikado,_ by Gilbert and Sullivan

by Eric Oppen


(Hogwarts, the Great Hall.  A flourish of trumpets.  Enter Dolores Umbridge, preceded by Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bulstrode, dancing backwards before her and strewing her path with rose petals, carried on a litter by the other members of the Inquisitorial Squad)

Inquisitorial Squad (in four-part harmony):

All hail the Hogwarts High Inquisitor!
A bureaucrat of unlimited power!
She isn't just some random visitor,
Her influence increases every hour!
Defer! Defer! 
To the Hogwarts High Inquisitor!
Bow low!  Bow lo-o-w!
To the Hogwarts High,
To the Hogwarts High,
To the Hogwarts High Inquisitor!

Dolores:

I worked at the Ministry,
Helping out Cornelius Fudge,
That was just my cup of tea,
Got to be a Wizard Court judge.
Minister Fudge then asked me
To help him get rid of his grudge,
Here I am and soon you'll see
Potter's lies thrown into the sludge!
Classes you may take with me
Will prove to be quite a dull trudge,
But soon the naughty Three
Will find out that I will not budge!

Inquisitorial Squad (in four-part harmony):

Defer!  Defer!
To the Hogwarts High Inquisitor!
Bow low!  Bow lo-o-w!
To the Hogwarts High, to the Hogwarts High,
To the Hogwarts High Inquisitor!
