Song #14 from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Chamber (two 
to go – the reprises of Lovely and Comedy Tonight)

That'll Show Him (CoS, Chap.  10)

To the tune of the same name from Sondheim's A Funny Thing Happened 
on the Way to the Forum

Text and a brief excerpt here

Dedicated to Ginger (friend to house-elves) 

THE SCENE: Pomfrey's infirmary. As HARRY waits for his arm bones to 
regrow, DOBBY explains his "tough love" strategy.

DOBBY (spoken) Harry Potter must go home! Dobby thought his Bludger 
would be enough to make-

HARRY (interrupting): Your Bludger?  What d'you mean, your Bludger? 
You made that Bludger try and kill me?

DOBBY: Not kill you, sir, never kill you! - Dobby wants to save Harry 
Potter's life! Better sent home, grievously injured, than remain here 
sir! Dobby only wanted Harry Potter hurt enough to be sent home!

HARRY: Oh, is that all? I don't suppose you're going to tell me why 
you wanted me sent home in pieces?

DOBBY: Ah, Harry Potter has provided Dobby with a cue



(music) 
Let the Malfoys beat and abuse me,
I will still persist!
Then let Lucius harshly accuse me
I will not desist.
I will be the Dobby who'll save you 
The house-elf named Dobby will save you,
When at long last Dobby has saved you,
He will be so pissed!

When I bash you,
I'll be bashing him,
That'll make him so awfully mad -
That'll show him

When I gash you,
I'll be gashing him,
So I'll gash you ten times as bad -
That'll show him, too!
They called me the dregs of the magic world
Now vict'ry's unfurled
If Malfoy's hit!

When it's over
And you're in intensive care
With two broken knees
And with severe head injuries,
Then he'll see here
How much he needs to beware!
