This is a Medley from Paul McCartny's "Give My Regards to Broad 
Street"
It comprises Yesterday; Here, There and Everywhere; and Wanderlust.

The actual title of this medley is "Grimmauld Place/Hear There and 
Everywhere/Dungbombs" but that was too long for the subject line.  I 
found it highly amusing that on the tape the dialogue before the song 
starts is: "You don't think Harry'd go and do a stupid thing like 
that, do you?"  "Yes, I do."

To CMC

The scene: 12 Grimmauld Place after Harry's arrival.

HARRY (to the tune of Yesterday)
Grimmauld Place.
Hiding in an odd enchanted space.
Secret kept from the whole Muggle race.
Now I've arrived at Grimmauld Place.

Look at me!
I'm the centre of this mystery,
But no one here will enlighten me.
I'm mad, and I've a right to be.

So, before I blow, I must know
Each last detail.
No one sent an owl- I cry "foul"-
Nor Muggle mail.

Hermi'ne-
You and Ron know what this means to me,
Yet your letters were all substance-free.
What kind of friends are you to me?


GEORGE AND FRED: (to the tune of Here, There, and Everywhere)

GEORGE:
Evesdropping is your right, and we've a plot of our own.

Hear, with an extendable ear.
Over the stairwell, you'll hear what they've planned,
Why we've been banned,
And whether You-Know-Who's near.

FRED:
We use them everywhere,
Though we realize that some think we're not playing fair.
But since when has prudence been our greatest care?
We have got info to share.
Each one receiving each murmur and sigh.
Give it a try.
We know they are meeting there.

BOTH: 
We can hear there and everywhere.
Hear there and everywhere.


GINNY: (to the tune of Wanderlust)
Take a few dungbombs.
Throw them down to see.
If they bounce, then the door is charmed.
Tonks showed that to me.

Try some more dungbombs.
Let no one else see.
Mum finds out- she'll make a fuss
And yell angrily.

GINNY'S CHORUS:
Fly now, nice dungbombs.
Help us now to see.
Fly now, nice dungbombs.
Do it for Harry.
Nice dungbombs.
Oh, they bounced upon the door.
This one's not to be.

CROOKSHANKS: (singing the countermelody)
Oh, how did they know what I love?
How nice of them to throw them from above.
I'm just so glad they found the time to play.
Throw more dungbombs my way!

GINNY repeats her CHORUS.

GINNY AND CROOKSHANKS sing the CHORUS and countermelody as a duet.

CROOKSHANKS:
I'm so glad I'm here just in time
For dungbombs thrown to me.


Ginger, clearing the desk of the Half-Filked Song before the Half-
Blood Prince arrives.
