New Broom 03:39
Did you did The new broom In the shop window Did you you see the new broom With its wooden handle all aglow Yeah everyone line up upside Trying to get a glimpse of the broom But Step aside everyone Because that broom belongs to me Did you hear about the new broom That the shop has on display Did you hear about the new broom It’s the fastest one to this day Yeah everyone has heard about it How fast it really is no body knows Well maybe when I on fly by You can see at how fast it goes Been saving up for a long time Brought my coins with me Going to buy that new broom And take it home with me Oh how I love my new broom It’s perfect as can be And now Everyone on the quidditch pitch Wishes that they were me

You’ve got your stats on every player And you have an idea Of how to put the odds in your favor And your hoping at the end of the day That you will walk away With heavier pockets and you can say you know that I’m the one To get the job done You know that I’m the one that you can bet on You know that I’m the one To tell you the odds So place your bets And enjoy the fun Place your bets And when it’s done Just place you bets And see me if you’ve won see me when you’ve won Now the odds are lookin good There a 3 to 1 chance so you should Place a bet anybody would But if you’re feel lucky today Place a bet the other way And you’ll be the one to go out and say you know that I’m the one To get the job done You know that I’m the one that you can bet on You know that I’m the one To tell you the odds So place your bets And enjoy the fun Place your bets And when it’s done Just place you bets And see me if you’ve won see me when you’ve won Your chances have never looked better Do you want to put them to the test You’ll never know if you don’t give it a go So why not leave a bet with the best you know that I’m the one To get the job done You know that I’m the one that you can bet on You know that I’m the one To tell you the odds So place your bets And enjoy the fun Place your bets And when it’s done Just place you bets And see me if you’ve won

I woke up at 5 am For my job at the ministry Brushed my teeth and combed my hair Ate breakfast and walked out into the street There was I time when I’d prefer to fly But the day is new and I think I’m going to try Taking the toilets Taking the toilets Taking the toilets to work today I passed by the muggle shops Saw a cat looking out a window didn’t look both was and almost got crushed By a London Transit double deck but Followed the signs to the public toilet Don’t know why but I think I’m goin to enjoy it Taking the toilets Taking the toilets Taking the toilets to work today I stand before the basin And I put my feet in it Pulled the lever it flushes me down And I am there in a minute I get to To games department I walk into the office Check for any new messages I take of my coat and drop it I ask for a towel because I’m feeling wet I guess I guess my friends that’s what your gonna get When your Taking the toilets Taking the toilets Taking the toilets to work today Thats why I’m never taking the toilets never taking the toilets never taking the toilets to work again

I received your letter the other day You asked to meet with me You’v e been looking for almost anyone Since the last guy went away This sort of thing happens every year So I hope that I can make things clear and say Well I’m sorry if your first choice didn’t work out for you And I’m sorry that he was working with you know who But Sorry Dumbdore I can’t dumbledore I won’t Teach defense against the dark arts I know you were looking for experience I know that I was worth a try I hope You’ll fine someone with some competence Unlike the other guy I know this job has it’s perks But A summer off and fearing for my life isn’t something works Well I’m sorry if that one guy turned up to be a fraud I guess it’s hard to find someone who isn’t flawed But Dumbdore I can’t no dumbledore I won’t Teach defense against the dark arts I know I’m probably the last one On your list of teaching candidates But there seems to some steady job rotation rates after your teaching years were done Well I’m sorry that werewolf wouldn’t fit in with the crowd Or that mad eye was actually the son of Barty crouch I’m sorry dumbledore I can’t dumbledore I won’t.... It might just be you’ll never find the right one But I don’t want to join the list of hogwarts teaching careers gone wrong I’m sorry dumbledore fore I can’t Fumble fore I won’t Teach defense against the dark arts

Is there a spell to turn this bad times around I’ve been looking for that something everyday Is there something that you can write down- put it in a vial and throw away these dark forces are growing stronger And I don’t think I can hold on much longer But I do I have to If only for a day Do you know a spell to turn these bad times around I’ve been looking for a way Is there something in this magical town That can drive the dark times away There was once magic that existed But now The balance has Shifted I feel I’m hoping we’ll Find some relief once the darkness has lifted Do you have a potion to turn the bad times around Im hoping that it’s coming any day Is there somewhere to go to turn back around There must bebut I don’t know the way I need your help to night to carry son the fight they say that happiness cab ne for nd in the darkest times if only you turn on the light

I wanna go where the butter beer flows and everybody knows your name I wanna see folks just like me and everybody feels the same I really wish I could go out tonight want to know see those I haven’t seen In over 3 long months but I’m stuck in wizard quarantine work has to wait but I can’t wait to get back to what I love Can’t go outside so I’ve gotta hide beneath my blankets cuz things are rough I really wish I could go out tonight I wanna ask you how you’ve been but I have to keep my distance cuz i’m stuck in wizard Quarantine Protego I scream as you walk past because you’re way to close I know It sounds crass but you decided to leave your house again without your freaking mask I really wish I could go out tonight I wanna see the ones I have missed But I can’t I need to keep myself and others safe but I’m stuck in Wizard Quarantine

You can say all you want that the ministry emains strong But we know that soon there’ll come a day where you will see that you’re wrong We’re the ones you left behind with the proclamations you’ve made We won’t let ourselves fall behind while you get your way Because We fight for all We fight for all doesn’t matter who you are We fight for all You could be a muggle Your blood could be pure But the one thing that’s for sure Is we fight for all You say how you protect us with your proclamations But you took the things that advance us of the equation You limit our education These no defense against the dark And When something’s taken away that where revolution starts So We’ll fight for all We fight for all It doesn’t matter who you are We fight for all Despite the programs you cut We’ll keep on fighting no matter what We’re Gonna get through this rut As we fight for all We’re done with the talk of hate and lack of compassion So We’re stepping up and we’re taking action We’re done with the talk of hate and lack of compassion So We’re stepping up and we’re taking action Because We’ll fight for all We fight for all At the end of every day We fight for all You’re hate and bigotry Will lose to those who hope just wait and see That at the end of each day we fight for all

It seems things are looking brighter now The dark forces have been pushed back Though a lot of hopes and dreams have fallen off track We’ll get back to it all some how And even though we have a way to go The best is yet to come We have all we need And we know what we hope to become So We’re Looking Through Here’s looking at you Here’s to us getting through our darkest time Here’s to hoping it’s ended And although things need to be mended We’re looking through Here’s Looking at you We’ve lost a lot of things We may have gotten some scars along the way And despite what someone might say We are valid in our ways So let’s strike up the bands again Let’s go and rebuild my friend We’re strong than we were before Now that we’ve gone through it once we can do it again So We’re Looking Through Here’s looking at you Here’s to us getting through our darkest time Here’s to hoping it’s ended And although things need to be mended We’re looking through Here’s Looking at you
