FILK: To Do A Dark Detention

[Caius Marcius]

No: HPFGUIDX 99508

Something about Umbridge and The Mikado just seem to go together.....

To Do A Dark Detention 

To the tune of To Sit in Solemn Silence from Gilbert & Sullivan's The 
Mikado

NOTE: I'm only using the later part of the song, a trio which 
begins "I Am So Proud" – scroll down to the final stanza. Text and 
MIDI are here:

The above MIDI is untimed – on this MIDI, the song begins at 2:21.

Ideally, this song should be sung by three voices – did anyone else 
serve detention with Umbridge besides Harry & Lee? If so, I haven't 
been able to find mention of it

THE SCENE: Gryffindor Commons. HARRY & LEE JORDAN, singing very 
rapidly, share their experience of serving detention with Delores. 

HARRY & LEE: 
To do her dark detention is a drear dread drill
As we hear her hemful hacking like a sharp shriek shrill
We scribble every sentence with her cold cruel quill
That bids our blood be bludgeoned to this fiend fulfill!
To do her dark detention is a drear dread drill
And hear her hemful hacking like a sharp shriek shrill
We scribble every sentence with her cold cruel quill
That bids our blood be bludgeoned to this fiend fulfill!
A drear dread drill,
A sharp shriek shrill,
Her cold cruel quill,
This fiend fulfill!
To do a dark detention
As we hear her hemful hacking
And to scribble every sentence 
That bids our blood be bludgeoned to this fiend fulfill!
