Harry Potter discussion forum for movies, books, and more! - The Leaky Lounge _ Memories of the HP Experience: The Pensieve Parlor _ Harry Potter Musical

Posted by: Bandersnatch Jun 24 2009, 12:27 AM

Right, so I've been listening to "Harry Potter the Musical," the production put on at University of Michigan earlier this year whose http://www.youtube.com/user/StarKidPotter was recently advertised on Leaky. I find the songs catchy and clever, and I'd like to be able to sing along. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to figure out the lyrics from the videos. As I suspect that others here are in the same situation, I was wondering if folks would like to help me figure out the lyrics and record them here.

The songs were written by Darren Criss (who plays Harry Potter) and A.J. Holmes (who plays the piano). If these people happen to be here (hello!), or if someone knows how to reach them (MySpace/Facebook/Twitter? I am totally clueless with social networking sites), and if they would be willing to provide the lyrics (perhaps they've already done so somewhere?), then of course that would be best and easiest. If anyone has any information about how to obtain the official lyrics, please post here and let us know! In the meantime, though -- let's see what we can figure out by listening to the videos.

Just to narrow things down, I'm thinking of only tackling the songs, not the spoken dialogue (although short stretches of dialogue in the middle of a song might be a grey area). If you're not sure what the actors in the videos are singing, take your best guess, then put those words in square brackets and put a question mark after them, like so:

[Slow walkin' Walter, the fire engine guy.](?)
Then others can take guesses as well, and maybe together we can figure it out. (Of course, you can suggest alternatives for any lyrics, not just the ones that the transcriber marks as uncertain.)

Dear Mods: This is the first thread I've ever started on the LL, so I'm a bit unsure about how things work. If you think it should be moved elsewhere, or combined with another thread -- or just deleted because it isn't an appropriate use of the boards -- please go ahead. I defer to your Modly Wisdom.

... And alakazam! Here we go, this is totally awesome...

This is starting in the middle, but I like the song so I'm doing it first. tongue.gif

"Danger Granger"
Written by Darren Criss

RON:
Here I am, face to face
With a situation
I never thought I'd ever see.

Strange -- how a dress
Could take a mess,
And make her nothing less than
Beautiful to me.

It seems like my eyes have been Transfigured.
Something deep inside has changed.
They've been opened wide, but hold that trigger.

This could mean
Daaaangeeeeeerrrrrr...
I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love...
I think I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
With Hermione Granger.

DRACO:
What? What the h*** is this?
Do you expect me to sing about her?
I don't care about her.

It's just a little makeup.
Draco, wake up!
I'm mistaken.

She is the hottest girl I've ever seen!
Now because she's like a girl I've never seen.
Don't know why I'd ever be so mean.

This could mean
Daaaangeeeeeerrrrrr...
I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love...
I could be falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
With Hermione Granger.

BOTH:
[I wanna let her know.](?)

DRACO:
I feel so queasy.

BOTH:
But I can't let it show.

RON:
She'd laugh, poor Weasley!
Come on, Ron.

DRACO:
Come on! Draco,

BOTH:
You've gotta let it go.
You've gotta let it go.

RON: ........................... DRACO:
Here I am, face to face ........ What? What the h*** is this?
With a situation ............... [*](?)
I never thought I'd ever see.

Strange how a dress ............ [It's just a
Could take a mess, ............. Little makeup.](?)
And make her nothing less than . Draco, wake up!
Beautiful to me. ............... I've been mistaken.

It seems like my eyes .......... She is the
Have been Transfigured. ........ Hottest girl I've ever seen!
Something deep inside .......... Now because she's
Has changed. ................... Like a girl I've never seen.
They've been opened wide, ...... Don't know why
But hold that trigger. ......... I'd ever be so mean.


BOTH:
This could mean
Daaaangeeeeeerrrrrr...
I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love...
RON: I think I'm / DRACO: I could be
Falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
With Hermione Granger,
With Hermione Granger,
With Hermione Granger.
Daaaangeeeeeerrrrrr!

* One would think that "Do you expect me to sing about her? / I don't care about her" would go here, but Draco seems to have been rendered speechless by his... er, circumstances.

*****

The opening number! There are quite a few lyrics which I'm unsure of or can't make out. I'm also skipping most of the spoken dialogue, but feel free to transcribe if you like.
ETA: Thanks to acciosirius and Swish_and_Flick for helping fill in some of the blanks!

"Going Back to Hogwarts"
Written by Darren Criss

HARRY:
Underneath these stairs
I hear the sneers and feel the glares
Of my cousin, my uncle and my aunt.
Can't believe how cruel they are,
And it stings my lightning scar
To know they'll never, ever give me what I want.

I know I don't deserve these
Stupid rules made by the Dursleys
Here on Privet Drive.
I can't take all of these Muggles,
But despite all of my struggles
I'm still alive.

I'm sick of summer
And this waiting around.
Man, it's September
And I'm skipping this town.
Hey, it's no mystery.
There's nothing here for me now.

I gotta get back to Hogwarts.
I gotta get back to school.
I gotta get myself to Hogwarts
Where everybody knows I'm cool.

Back to witches and wizards
And magical beasts,
To goblins and ghosts
And to magical feasts.
It's all that I love
And it's all that I need
At Hogwarts, Hogwarts.
I'm going back.

I'll see my friends,
Gonna laugh till we cry.
Take my Firebolt,
Gonna take to the sky.
No way this year
Anyone's gonna die!
And it's gonna be totally awesome.

I'll cast some spells
With a flick of my wand.
Defeat the Dark Arts,
Yeah, bring it on!
And do it all
With my best friend Ron,
'Cause together we're totally awesome.

RON:
Yeah, it's gonna be totally awesome!

...

RON:
It's been so long,
But we're going back.
Don't go for work,
Don't go there for class.

HARRY:
As long as we're together

BOTH:
Gonna kick some a**
And it's gonna be totally awesome.

This year we'll take
Everybody by storm.
Stay up all night,
Sneak out of our dorm.

HERMIONE:
Well, let's not forget
That we need to perform well in class
If we want to pass our OWLs.

...

HERMIONE:
I may be frumpy
But I'm super-smart.
Check out my grades:
They're A's for a start.
What I lack in looks,
Well, I make up in heart,
And well guys, yeah that's totally awesome.

This year I plan
To study a lot.

RON:
That would be cool
If you were actually hot.

HARRY:
Hey Ron, lay off.
[It's OK that she's not.]-OR-[She's fine with what she's got.]

RON:
And that's cool.

HERMIONE:
And that's totally awesome.

TRIO:
Yeah, it's so cool
And it's totally awesome.

We're sick of summer
And this waiting around.
It's like we're sitting
In the Lost and Found.
Don't take no sorcery
For anyone to see how

We gotta get back to Hogwarts.
We gotta get back to school.
We gotta get back to Hogwarts
Where everything is ["magic-coool"](?).

STUDENTS:
Back to witches and wizards
And magical beasts,
To goblins and ghosts
And to magical feasts.
It's all that I love
And it's all that I need
At Hogwarts, Hogwarts.

TRIO:
We're going back.

...

CHO, PANSY, AND LAVENDER:
Cho Chang,
Domo arigato,
Cho Chang,
[OK, back choy](?) Chang.
Happy, happy new year.
Cho Chang.

...

CEDRIC:
Cho Chang,
I am so in love with
Cho Chang.
From Bangkok to
[Ding Dang,](?)
I sing my love aloud
For Cho Chang...

...

DRACO:
This year, you bet,
Gonna get out of here.
The reign of Malfoy
Is drawing near.
I'll have the greatest
Wizard career.
It's gonna be totally awesome.

Look out world,
For the dawn of the day
When everyone will do
Whatever I say.
And Potter won't be in my way.
And then I'll be the one who is totally awesome.

GOYLE:
Yeah, you'll be the one who is totally awesome.

...

STUDENTS:
Who knows how fast
This year's gonna go?
Hand me a glass,
Let the butterbeer flow.

HARRY:
Maybe at last
I'll talk to Cho.

RON:
Oh no, that would be too awesome!

STUDENTS:
We're back to learn
Everything that we can.
It's great to come back
To where we began.
And here we are.
And alakazam!
Here we go, this is totally awesome.

Come on and teach us
Everything you know.
The summer's over
And we're itching to go.

NEVILLE:
I've been waiting for
Albus Dumbledore!

STUDENTS:
Aaaahh...

DUMBLEDORE:
Welcooooooooome
All of you to Hogwarts.
I welcome all of you to school.
Did you know that here at Hogwarts,
We've got a hidden swimming pool?
Welcome, welcome, welcome Hogwarts.
Welcome hotties, nerds, and tools.
Now that I've got you here at Hogwarts,
I'd like to go over just a couple of rules.

...

STUDENTS:
Back to witches and wizards
And magical beasts,
To goblins and ghosts
And to magical feasts.
It's all that I love
And it's all that I need
At Hogwarts, Hogwarts.

Back to spells and enchantments,
Potions and friends,

GRYFFINDORS:
To Gryffindors!

HUFFLEPUFFS:
Hufflepuffs!

RAVENCLAWS:
Ravenclaws!

SLYTHERINS:
Slytherins!

STUDENTS:
Back to the place
Where our story begins
At Hogwarts, Hogwarts.

DUMBLEDORE:
[I'm sorry, what'd you say?]-OR-[I'm sorry, what's its name?]

STUDENTS:
Hogwarts, Hogwarts.

DUMBLEDORE:
I didn't hear you kids!

STUDENTS:
Hogwarts, Hogwarts.

HARRY:
Man, I'm glad I'm back!

Posted by: acciosirius Jun 24 2009, 08:44 AM

Good work Bandersnatch! I fixed the couple parts you were unsure of:

HERMIONE:
I may be frumpy
But I'm super smart
Check out my grades:
They're A's for a start.
What I lack in looks,
Well I make up in heart
And, well guys, yeah that's totally awesome.

This year I plan
To study a lot.

RON:
That would be cool
If you were actually hot.

HARRY:
Hey Ron, [lay off](?)
It's okay that she's not

RON:
And that's cool.

HERMIONE:
And that's totally awesome

...
skipping ahead

TRIO:
We gotta get back to Hogwarts.
We gotta get back to school.
We gotta get back to Hogwarts
Where everything is [magical or magic, cool](?)

(For all intents and purposes they sound exactly the same so this is probably one that we'd need a cast member to solve)
...
skipping down to Dumbledore's part he says: Welcome hotties, nerds and tools

Also, it wasn't in the brackets but I'm pretty sure that Dumbledore says "I'm sorry, what'd you say?" not "I'm sorry, what's in a name?"

I can't figure out this song... It's bugging me..

"It's Time to Dance Again"
Act 1 Part 13 (3:57-7:44)

Voldemort:
When I was a boy
An orphan boy
I'd love to move my feet
I'd hear a tune
And start to swoon
My life would seem complete

The other boys would laugh and cheer
But I'd [catch them tapping their toes] (?)
And when I'd start to sway
They'd get carried away
And oh, how the feeling [grows] (?)

(pre-chorus)
I'd take my foot
My little foot
And with that foot
Oh how I'd start to [???]

I'd take two feet
Two tiny feet
hey look!
That's neat
It's coming [??]

Oh boy I get to dance again
Woohoo!

(chorus)
To dance again
I've been waiting all these years
To dance again
Now at once a chance appears
To hear the beat
So on your feet
It's time to dance again

Come on Potter! Imperio!

You take your foot
Your little foot
Hey look! Your foot
See how it starts to [???]

Quirrel:
[I'll train his arms!]
[something something twirl]
He's like a girl!
[something]
I get to finally dance again with you

Quirrel and Voldemort:
To Dance again
I've been waiting all these years
To Dance again
Now at once a chance appears
This lovely swaying
The music's playing
Come on
Let's dance again

Voldemort: Everybody!

Death Eaters: (pre-chorus)

Voldemort:
Everybody make way
For a pas de bourree
It's time to dance
It's time to dance
It's time to dance
Again

I don't know about you guys but I love the original Potter Puppet Pals. The mysterious ticking noise was so much fun. But I'm kinda getting mad at the direction it's going. It's less funny and more stupid. The animated series are really where it's going wrong. I say
Bring the live puppets back!

Posted by: Bandersnatch Jun 24 2009, 02:16 PM

Thanks, acciosirius! I think you're spot-on with all of your additions; good ears during Hermione's bit! I suspect that the Trio is singing, "Where everything is magical" but distorting the last syllable so that it comes out "cool"; hence "magic-coool," like you said. And I'll go with "what'd you say" over "what's its name" for Dumbledore's bit. I will edit my original post to include your additions. Thanks for the help!

********

spock, I have trouble hearing stuff in "To Dance Again," too, but I think I've made some headway. Hopefully others can either confirm what I think I hear, or fill in the remaining blanks.

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWuttBA8fhg (3:53-7:44)

[Starting from Voldemort's second stanza:]
The other boys would laugh and jeer
But I'd catch 'em tapping their toes
And when I'd start to sway
They'd get carried away
And oh, how the feeling grows

I'd take my foot
My little foot
And with that foot
Oh how I'd start to [shake](?)
[I think it must be "shake" - at 6:44, when everyone is dancing, you can see that they all shake their foot for a beat after kicking it back and forth.]

I'd take two feet
Two tiny feet
Hey look! That's neat
It's coming [true](?)
Oh boy I get to dance again
Woohoo!

[The verse where Harry is Imperio'd:]
You take your foot
Your little foot
Hey look! Your foot
See how it starts to [shake](?)

QUIRRELL:
[Ooo, try his arms!](?)
[How 'bout](?) a twirl
He's like a girl!
[How overdue](?)
I get to finally dance again with you

[During V and Q's chorus:]
It's lovely swaying
And the music's playing

[The final pre-chorus and chorus -- second stanza especially needs work]
DEATH EATERS (VOLDEMORT):
I take my foot (You take your foot!)
My little foot (Take that little foot!)
And oh, my foot (Let me hear it in the house!)
See how it starts to [shake](?)

[Oh Voldie's back](?) (Hello world!)
[ ](?) (I'm gonna getcha!)
[ ](?)
But this is something he's gotta do

VOLDEMORT AND DEATH EATERS:
I'll dance again
I've been waiting all these years
To dance again
Now at once a chance appears
Everybody make way

VOLDEMORT:
For a pas de bourrée

VOLDEMORT AND DEATH EATERS:
It's time to dance
It's time to dance
It's time to dance
Again

I might have missed something, but I think the two animated PPPs pre-date the live ones. ("Bothering Snape" and "Trouble at Hogwarts" are the only animated ones by Neil C.)

You're welcome Bandersnatch! And I actually went back and listened to the Dumbledore bit again and think you might have been right so it's your call!

I've been dying to write out the Ginny/Cho Chang song because for some reason it is my favorite biggrin.gif so here it is (like anyone can't figure out these lyrics haha):

Ginny (Act 1 Part 6)

HARRY:
You're tall and fun and pretty
You're really, really skinny
Ginny
I'm the Mickey to your Minnie
You're the Tigger to my Winnie
Ginny
I want to take you to the city
Gonna take you out to dinny
Ginny
You're cuter than a guinea pig
Want to take you up to Winnipeg
That's in Canada!

Cho (Act 1 Part 10)

HARRY:
You're tall and fun and pretty
You're really, really skinny
Cho Chang
Wanna take you to the city
Get all up in them censor.gif
Cho Chang
You're the Mickey to my Minnie
I'm the Tigger to your Winnie
Cho Chang
You're cuter than a guinea pig
I'll take you up to Winnipeg
That's in Canada!

I also love "Not Alone" (Act 2 Part 5) because it's beautiful and hilarious at the same time.

GINNY:
I've been alone
Surrounded by darkness
And I've seen how heartless
The world can be.

And I've seen you cry
And felt like it's hopeless
But I'll always do my best
To make you see

Cuz Harry you're not alone
Cuz you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down cuz nothing
Can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need
To make it through

Now I know it ain't easy

HARRY:
Know it ain't easy

GINNY:
But it ain't hard trying

HARRY:
It's so hard trying

GINNY:
Every time I see you smiling
And I feel you so close to me
Tell me

BOTH:
Cuz baby you're not alone
Cuz you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down cuz nothing
Can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through

HARRY:
Well, I still have trouble!
I trip and stumble
Trying to make sense of things sometimes
I look for reasons
But I don't need 'em
All I need is the look in your eyes
And I realize

RON: (spoken) Hey Harry! [Rad or a barf noise](?)

ALL:
Baby you're not alone
Cuz you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna take us down
Cuuuuuuz nothing
Can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through

HARRY:
(spoken) Guys I'm so glad you came back. I'm sorry I shouted.
(sung) Cuz it don't matter what'll come to be

ALL:
Our love is all we need

RON:
To maaake

HERMOINE:
To maaake

GINNY:
To maaake

HARRY:
To maaake it

ALL:
Through-ooooo

Bahaha that was funny to write that ending...


EDITED: To fix a couple little parts.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to transcribe the lyrics!!

Posted by: Swish_and_Flick Jun 24 2009, 08:41 PM

this is an awesome list, but just to pooint something out, in the very first song (Going Back to Hogwarts) after Ron's 'that would be cool if you were actually hot' this is waht Harry says:

HARRY
hey Ron, lay off
She's fine with what she's got
and that's cool

HERMIONE
and that's totally awesome

also, i did Voldie and Quirrel's song. i need some help towards the end, though.

“Different as Can Be”

Q:
You won’t sleep on your tummy

V:
You won’t sleep on your back

BOTH:
We’re quite a kooky couple
You’ll agree

Q:
We share some hands and fingers

V:
And yet the feeling lingers

BOTH:
We’re just about as different
As anyone can be

V:
You like plotting a garden
And I like plotting to kill

Q:
You think that you should rule the world
I think books are a thrill
Sipping tea by the fire is swell

V:
Pushing people in is fun as well
I like folding all of my ties

Q:
And you have no friends, hey, that’s a surprise

BOTH:
It is plain to see
When you look at you and me
We’re different, different as can be

V:
You’re a sissy
A ----
A girl
And I’m the darkest of lords

Q:
I’m the brightest Professor here
I’ve won several awards

V:
My new world’s
About to unfold

Q:
You got beat
By a two year old

V:
I’ll kill him this time
Through and through

Q:
Or you might just give him
Another tattoo

BOTH:
Then you must agree
When you look at you and me
We’re different, different as can-

V:
I’ll rise again
And I’ll rule the world
But you must help me renew
For when our plan succeeds

Q:
Prevails!

V:
Part of that world goes to you

Q:
When I rule the world
I’ll plant flowers

V:
When I rule the world
I’ll have snakes

Q:................................................V:
Floweeeeeeeeeeerrrrsss(?)...............?????

BOTH:
When I rule the world



i'm also working on a full compiliation of all songs, using what i've got form you guys and from another source who sent all of what she thought were teh act one lyrics to me, and my own listenings. so far, all i have left to type out are "Missing You" "Not Alone" (which s up here, i know, i just have to put it on my list) and "Voldemort is Going Down."

NOTE: See NEWS FLASH at the bottom of this post -- official lyrics for "Going Back to Hogwarts" now on YouTube.

LOL! I went back and listened and convinced myself that you were right! biggrin.gif Well, I'll keep both lines in as possibilities for now.

Actually, I'm glad you did it, because the lines about Minnie and Winnie were stumping me completely! I could hear "mini" and "winny" but I couldn't catch the rest; I thought he was maybe singing about minivans and winnebagos!

QUOTE
I want to take you to the city
Gonna take you out to dinny
That's originally what I thought he was saying, too, but then I started wondering if the last word was maybe "Denny's" (the American restaurant chain). We'll probably never know since they're almost identical in sound.

Re: "Not Alone"
QUOTE
But [I'll or I](?) always do my best
To make you see
I'm hearing "I'll."

QUOTE
RON: (spoken) Hey Harry!
Ron says something else right after that, in a sort of croak. It might be "Rad!"

HARRY

It's so darn hard to hear with the laughter over it -- all I can hear is that it ends with something that rhymes with "hot." I'll put this in my original post as another possibility.

Re: "Different as Can Be"

Ooh, I tried to figure out the Quirrelmort song too! Let me see what you came up with.

QUOTE
Q:
And you have no friends, hey, that’s a surprise

BOTH:
It is plain to see
I hear three syllables before "plain to see." I think they're singing "I guess it's plain to see" here.

QUOTE
Q:................................................V:
Floweeeeeeeeeeerrrrsss(?)...............?????
I didn't do much better here, but I think I got some of it. Quirrell's long phrase that he sings under Voldy's might be "And Jane Austen novellllllls," which is freaking hilarious. Voldemort's simultaneous list is something like:

VOLDEMORT:
And [(2 syllables)](?) and [rebels](?)
A [fleet](?) of dementors
And giants and thestrals
And [all my (3 syllables)](?)

Can anyone else make any headway?

Awesome. I think I can understand most of "Missing You" and "Voldemort is Going Down," so if you end up posting them here first, I can double-check with some confidence. And please continue to let us know if you or your source come up with different lyrics than what we post here.

Since we now have most of "Different as Can Be," let's get its reprise out of the way.

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciez9WJH7bE (3:07-4:15)
"Different as Can Be (Reprise)"
Written by AJ Holmes (I assume, since he wrote the main song)

QUIRRELL:
I guess it's plain to see
When you look at you and me
We're different, different as can be.

QUIRRELL AND VOLDEMORT:
We simply guarantee
When you look at you and me
We're different, different as can be.

QUIRRELL:
It's a comedy of sorts
When you're bound to Voldemort.

VOLDEMORT:
And I'm happy as a squirrel
Long as I'm with Mr. Quirrell.

BOTH:
We'll lead 'em to the slaughter
And we'll murder Harry Potter!
We're different,
Different,
Different, different as can be.

"Harry"
Written by Darren Criss

GINNY:
The way his hair falls in his eyes
Makes me wonder if he'll
Ever see through my disguise.
And I'm under his spell.

Everything is falling
And I don't know where to land.
Everyone knows who he is,
But they don't know who I am.

Harry,
Harry,
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me?

I've seen you conquer certain death.
Even when you're just standing there,
You take away my breath.
And maybe someday you'll hear my song
And understand that all along
There's something more that I'm trying to say
When I say:

Harry,
Harry,
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me,
What you're doing to me?

NEWS FLASH!

Guess what, folks? The YouTube pages with the first two parts of the show now have the lyrics to "Going Back to Hogwarts" in the sidebars on the right-hand side! Since I assume the show was put up on YouTube by someone who was directly involved, that means we now have official lyrics for the opening number. Check them out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JnQuMyzPfE and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXzd2UP6TOo.

The lyrics we came up with were pretty close. The last line of the first two choruses is actually "I think I'm/we're going back." Harry's line to Ron about Hermione is, "Hey Ron, come on, we're the only friends that she's got!" Towards the end, Neville says, "I think we're ready for Albus Dumbledore," and in the final chorus Dumbledore interjects, "I'm sorry, what's its name?" Oh, and Cho's posse sings "gung hei fat choy," which according to Wikipedia means "Congratulations and be prosperous" and is a traditional greeting on the Chinese happy happy new year. smile.gif

At the moment, none of the other songs seem to have lyrics included in the sidebars, but perhaps that will change in the near future. So keep a lookout, and let us know here if they get posted!

So should we keep going with the lyrics or just wait and see if the youtube pages get updated? I vote we keep going because the lyrics on the first two are a little messy but good for clearing up the parts where we were confused. And Bandersnatch it's funny that we both went back and listened for the other's words! I'll go back and edit the part in "Not Alone" to say "I'll" since you agree biggrin.gif

Back to "Different as Can Be", I can't make a major dent in the lyrics but here's what I hear:

QUIRRELL: and Jane Austen novelllls!

VOLDEMORT:
And [no idea lol]
A fleet of dementors
And giants and thestrals
And all my Death Eaters!!

....

"Hey Dragon" (Act 1 Part 9)

HARRY:
Hey Dragon, we don't gotta do this
Let's reevaluate our options
Put away our old assumptions
Cuz really, we don't gotta go through this

I'm really not that special
The boy who lived is only flesh and bone
Truth is in the end
I'm pretty useless without friends
In fact, I'm alone

I spend my time at school
Trying to be this cool guy
I never even asked for
I don't know any spells
I still manage to do well
But there's only so long that can last for

I'm living off the glory
Of a stupid children's story
That I had nothing to do with
I just sat there and got lucky
So level with me buddy -
I can't defeat thee
So please don't eat me

And all I can do
Is sing a song for you

Lalalalala

DRAGON:
Rarararara

HARRY:
Lalalalala

DRAGON:
Rarararara

HARRY:
Lalalalala

DRAGON:
Rarararara

BOTH:
Lalalala

HARRY:
You never asked to be a dragon
I never asked to be a champion
We both just jumped on this bandwagon
All we need is guitar jamming

REPEAT of La's and Ra's

(spoken) Good night Dragon!

....

"Voldemort is Going Down" (Act 2 Part 8)

RON:
He thinks that we're finished
He thinks that we're done
He thinks that it's over
His battle is won - HA!

He thinks that we're finished
No, but we aren't through
Stop and think my friends:
What would Harry do for you?

HERMIONE:
Never gave up the fight
Harry stood up for what is right
Well now it's our turn

BOTH:
Our turn
Make a joyful sound
Voldemort is going down!

RON:
(spoken) Hyah! Come on, get in a line!

R, H, G:
We must unite
So we can fight!
Turn the battle around
Time's running out
It's time to shout
Voldemort is going down!

HERMIONE:
Can't you feel a fire burning
Now it's time to be a man
A great big, muscley, super big, super hot man!

RON:
Ahhh!

ALL:
We won't be pushed around anymore
We'll be a force you cannot ignore
We'll be an army for Dumbledore
For Dumbledore!

We must unite
So we can fight!
Turn the battle around
Time's running out
It's time to shout
Voldemort is going down!

HARRY:
(spoken) Guys I'm alive! I'm back, guys I know how to defeat Voldemort! Everybody follow me okay!

ALL:
We must unite
So we can fight!
Turn the battle around
Time's running out
It's time to shout
Voldemort is going...
We must unite
So we can fight
Voldemort is going down!

Yeah!

okay, this is EVERYTHING i have so far. see if oyu guys can add in Missing You, and anything with a question mark. thanks to everybody who posted lyrics, because i used everything i had to see if i could fit it all together:

Going Back to Hogwarts
HARRY:
Underneath these stairs
I hear the sneers and feel the glares
Of my cousin, my uncle and my aunt.
Can't believe how cruel they are,
And it stings my lightning scar
To know they'll never, ever give me what I want.

I know I don't deserve these
Stupid rules made by the Dursleys
Here on Privet Drive.
I can't take all of these Muggles,
But despite all of my struggles
I'm still alive.

I'm sick of summer
And this waiting around.
Man, it's September
And I'm skipping this town.
Hey, it's no mystery.
There's nothing here for me now.

I gotta get back to Hogwarts.
I gotta get back to school.
I gotta get myself to Hogwarts
Where everybody knows I'm cool.

Back to witches and wizards
And magical beasts,
To goblins and ghosts
And to magical feasts.
It's all that I love
And it's all that I need
At Hogwarts, Hogwarts.
I think I'm going back.

I'll see my friends,
Gonna laugh till we cry.
Take my Firebolt,
Gonna take to the sky.
No way this year
Anyone's gonna die!
And it's gonna be totally awesome.

I'll cast some spells
With a flick of my wand.
Defeat the Dark Arts,
Yeah, bring it on!
And do it all
With my best friend Ron,
'Cause together we're totally awesome.

RON:
Yeah, it's gonna be totally awesome!

...

RON:
It's been so long,
But we're going back.
Don't go for work,
Don't go there for class.

HARRY:
As long as we're together

BOTH:
Gonna kick some a**
And it's gonna be totally awesome.

This year we'll take
Everybody by storm.
Stay up all night,
Sneak out of our dorm.

HERMIONE:
Well, let's not forget
That we need to perform well in class
If we want to pass our OWLs.

...

HERMIONE:
I may be frumpy
But I'm super-smart.
Check out my grades:
They're A's for a start.
What I lack in looks,
Well, I make up in heart,
And well guys, yeah that's totally awesome.

This year I plan
To study a lot.

RON:
That would be cool
If you were actually hot.

HARRY:
Hey Ron, come on
We're the only friends she's got
And that's cool

HERMIONE:
And that's totally awesome.

TRIO:
Yeah, it's so cool
And it's totally awesome.

We're sick of summer
And this waiting around.
It's like we're sitting
In the Lost and Found.
Don't take no sorcery
For anyone to see how

We gotta get back to Hogwarts.
We gotta get back to school.
We gotta get back to Hogwarts
Where everything is magic-coool

STUDENTS:
Back to witches and wizards
And magical beasts,
To goblins and ghosts
And to magical feasts.
It's all that I love
And it's all that I need
At Hogwarts, Hogwarts.

TRIO:
I think we're going back.

...

CHO, PANSY, AND LAVENDER:
Cho Chang,
Domo arigato,
Cho Chang,
Gung hey fat choy Chang.
Happy, happy New Year.
Cho Chang.

...

CEDRIC:
Cho Chang,
I am so in love with
Cho Chang.
From Bangkok to
Ding Dang
I sing my love aloud
For Cho Chang...

...

DRACO:
This year, you bet,
Gonna get out of here.
The reign of Malfoy
Is drawing near.
I'll have the greatest
Wizard career.
It's gonna be totally awesome.

Look out world,
For the dawn of the day
When everyone will do
Whatever I say.
And Potter won't be in my way.
And then I'll be the one who is totally awesome.

GOYLE:
Yeah, you'll be the one who is totally awesome.

...

STUDENTS:
Who knows how fast
This year's gonna go?
Hand me a glass,
Let the butterbeer flow.

HARRY:
Maybe at last
I'll talk to Cho.

RON:
Oh no, that would be too awesome!

STUDENTS:
We're back to learn
Everything that we can.
It's great to come back
To where we began.
And here we are.
And alakazam!
Here we go, this is totally awesome.

Come on and teach us
Everything you know.
The summer's over
And we're itching to go.

NEVILLE:
I think we're ready for
Albus Dumbledore!

STUDENTS:
Aaaahh...

DUMBLEDORE:
Welcooooooooome
All of you to Hogwarts.
I welcome all of you to school.
Did you know that here at Hogwarts,
We've got a hidden swimming pool?
Welcome, welcome, welcome Hogwarts.
Welcome hotties, nerds, and tools.
Now that I've got you here at Hogwarts,
I'd like to go over just a couple of rules.

...

STUDENTS:
Back to witches and wizards
And magical beasts,
To goblins and ghosts
And to magical feasts.
It's all that I love
And it's all that I need
At Hogwarts, Hogwarts.

Back to spells and enchantments,
Potions and friends,

GRYFFINDORS:
To Gryffindors!

HUFFLEPUFFS:
Hufflepuffs!

RAVENCLAWS:
Ravenclaws!

SLYTHERINS:
Slytherins!

STUDENTS:
Back to the place
Where our story begins
At Hogwarts, Hogwarts.

DUMBLEDORE:
I'm sorry, what's it's name?

STUDENTS:
Hogwarts, Hogwarts.

DUMBLEDORE:
I didn't hear you kids!

STUDENTS:
Hogwarts, Hogwarts.

HARRY:
Man, I'm glad I'm back!

Granger Danger

RON:
Here I am, face to face
With a situation
I never thought I'd ever see.

Strange -- how a dress
Could take a mess
And make her nothing less than
Beautiful to me

It seems like my eyes have been Transfigured
Something deep inside has changed
They've been opened wide, but hold that trigger

This could mean
Daaaangeeeeeerrrrrr
I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
I think I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
With Hermione Granger

DRACO:
What? What the hell is this?
Do you expect me to sing about her?
I don't care about her

It's just a little makeup
Draco, wake up
I'm mistaken

She is the hottest girl I've ever seen
Now because she's like a girl I've never seen
Don't know why I'd ever be so mean

This could mean
Daaaangeeeeeerrrrrr
I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
I could be falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
With Hermione Granger

BOTH:
I wanna let her know

DRACO:
I feel so queasy.

BOTH:
But I can't let it show.

RON:
She'd laugh, poor Weasley!
Come on, Ron.

You've gotta let it go.

To Dance Again
VOLDEMORT:
When I was a boy
An orphan boy
I'd love to move my feet
I'd hear a tune
And start to swoon
My life would seem complete

The other boys would laugh and jeer
But I'd catch 'em tapping their toes
And when I'd start to sway
They'd get carried away
And oh, how the feeling grows

I'd take my foot
My little foot
And with that foot
Oh how I'd start to shake

I'd take two feet
Two tiny feet
Hey look! That's neat
It's coming true
Oh boy I get to dance again
Woohoo!

To dance again
I've been waiting all these years to
Dance again
Now at once a chance appears to
Hear the beat
So on your feet
It's time to dance again

You take your foot
Your little foot
Hey look! Your foot
See how it starts to shake

QUIRREL:
Ooo, try his arms!
How 'bout a twirl
He's like a girl!
How overdue
I get to finally dance again with you

To dance again
I've been waiting all these years to
Dance again
Now at once a chance appears to
It's lovely swaying
And the music's playing
Come on and dance again

DEATH EATERS (VOLDEMORT):
I take my foot (You take your foot!)
My little foot (Take that little foot!)
And oh, my foot (Let me hear it in the house!)
See how it starts to shake

DEATH EATERS (VOLDEMORT)
Voldemort is back ( hello world)
And that's a fact (I'm gonna get cha)
Take over that world with you
But first there's something he gotta do

ALL:
I'll dance again
I've been waiting all these years
To dance again
Now at once a chance appears
Everybody make way

Voldemort:
For a pas de bourrée

ALL:
It's time to dance
It's time to dance
It's time to dance
Again

GINNY:

Surrounded by darkness

The world can be.

And felt like it's hopeless

To make you see

Cause Harry you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down cause nothing
Can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true

To make it through

Now I know it ain't easy

HARRY:

Trying to make sense of things sometimes

But I don't need 'em
All I need is the look in your eyes
And I realize

RON: (spoken) Hey Harry! Rad

ALL:
Baby you're not alone

Here's "Missing You." Then I'll take a closer look at your most recent posts, acciosirius and Swish_and_Flick.

"Missing You"
Written by AJ Holmes

HARRY:
I can't remember Dad
And I can't remember Mum
Aunts and uncles aren't quite the same

But I had him
And life seemed fair
Yes I had him
He was there

To give me strength
Show concern
Ask for nothing in return
Say hello
Talk me through
Do the things that fathers should do

And I'm missing you
I'm just missing you

QUIRRELL:
So there it is, he's gone
And he's hung me out to dry
The joy he said he felt
Well I guess it was a lie

When I had him
My life was fine
When I had him
He was mine

He'd share his thoughts
Be a friend
Stick with me until the end
Watch a movie
Roller-skate
Fill the world with fear and hate

BOTH:
And I'm missing you
I'm just missing you

Now I'm all alone
Now you're gone for good
Now I'm stuck right here
Wishing I understood

HARRY:
You gave me hope when my spells weren't right

QUIRRELL:
You gave me someone to hold every night
And I'm missing you

HARRY:
I'm just missing you

QUIRRELL:
And I'm missing you

HARRY:
I'm just missing you

Re: "Different as Can Be"
"And all my Death Eaters" -- Yup, I'll go with that. Looks like we'll need the official version to figure out the rest of Voldemort's list; maybe it will come up in the YouTube sidebar.

Re: "Hey Dragon"
I agree it's "I never even asked for," and I think it must be "I can't defeat thee."

Re: "Voldemort is Going Down"
After Ron's "Hyah! Come on, get in a line," the chorus is sung by Ginny as well as Ron and Hermione. And I hear Hermione sing "a fire burning" to Draco.

*****

Swish_and_Flick

Great job with the compilation! I posted "Missing You" above, so do we have everything now? Awesome.

Re: "Going Back to Hogwarts"
The official version in the YouTube sidebar says that Harry's first chorus ends "At Hogwarts, Hogwarts. I think I'm going back"; and likewise at the end of the second chorus, the Trio sings "At Hogwarts, Hogwarts. I think we're going back." After reading that, I went back and listened, and I think I can (barely) hear those "I think"s as well as see mouths moving at those points. Please check and see if I'm going crazy (always possible!).

Also, after Harry's line "Hey Ron, come on, we're the only friends she's got," the following "And that's cool" is sung by Ron, I think.

Re: "Different as Can Be (Reprise)"
I agree it's probably "We'll lead him [Harry] to the slaughter" rather than "lead 'em," so I think you can remove your question mark there.

Re: "Hey Dragon"
Your version differs from accio_sirius's above, so the two of you should figure out how to put it together.

Re: "Granger Danger"
I see that during the counterpoint in the final verse, you posit that Draco perhaps sings "It's Granger, wake up" instead of "Draco, wake up." I can hear where you're coming from. (It kind of sounds like he says "Rachel, wake up," but who the heck is Rachel?) I chose "Draco, wake up" in my original post because it's what Draco sang during his first verse, but it is unclear; maybe others can say what they hear.

Re: "To Dance Again"
Just before the final kick-line, I wonder if the Death Eaters are maybe singing "We're gonna take over the world with you / But first there's something we've gotta do."

Re: "Voldemort is Going Down"
See my notes to acciosirius above.

Terrific job, everyone! Thanks to all who have contributed -- acciosirius, Swish_and_Flick, and spock. Looks like we have a few minor wrinkles to iron out, and then perhaps Swish_and_Flick can edit the post above to make it our final version. (And if the rest of the lyrics end up getting posted to the YouTube sidebars, then we can compare with them.)

The soundtrack is online and it is easier to hear from that. They made an actual soundtrack so it must be available to buy somewhere but until we can you can download it here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MQ96OT01

Hi everyone bye.gif

After careful deliberation, the moderators of the Pensieve Parlor have decided to split off the discussions about lyrics for Harry Potter the musical from the http://www.leakylounge.com/Tube-and-Harry-Potter-t44652.html since the discussions have been so active and we thought they deserved their own thread happy.gif The ideas and propositions about lyrics are wonderful. Many thanks to Bandersnatch and to all of you for posting thumbup.gif

I'll just kindly ask, when posting your lyrics or ideas for lyrics to tell us where your ideas came from, and why they would make for great lyrics in an HP musical since the purpose of the threads in the Parlor and across the forums is to generate discussions smile.gif

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM a moderator.

Thanks and happy posting type.gif

Thanks lirene! I'll start the new discussion off by asking everyone a couple of questions about the recent "Harry Potter the Musical" on youtube:
a) what do you think about the fact that the musical has been taken down temporarily
b) what do you think will happen with it
c) what should it's new title be (the discussion has been raging on their youtube page)

I'll go first: obviously I'm sad its been taken down but it makes me extra thankful for that link greenfire and for all of the lyrics here! I'm not sure how the musical will reappear on youtube, but all of their talks about "tweaks" makes me nervous...I'm just trying to stay positive and hope that any changes will be for the better! As for the title, I seriously love whoever came up with "The Musical That Must Not be Named".

Not a question that I want everyone's opinion on, but I don't know very much about copyright issues and things like that so would someone who does know enlighten me as to how serious of an infringement the musical was in the first place? I don't understand how some things slip through the cracks...maybe just when they're not as popular?
