Song of the man house elf
My version of "Song of the roustabouts" from "Dumbo", on how Harry feels about being the Dursleys' man house elf.
Hike! Ugh! Hike! Ugh! Hike! Ugh! Hike!
I work all day, I work all night
I never learned to smile and laugh
I'm a happy-hearted man house elf
Hike! Ugh! Hike! Ugh! Hike! Ugh! Hike!
While relatives enjoy their day
I slave until I'm almost dead
I'm a happy-hearted man house elf
Hike! Ugh! Hike! Ugh! Hike! Ugh! Hike!
I don't know when I smiled last time
But when I do they whip it all away
I might smile though, however brief
But only with their backs infront my face
Muscles aching
Back near breaking
Eggs and bacon what I need
Uncle honding
Keep on ponding
For your bed and feed
There are no let up
Must get set up
Weed the garden! Scrub the floor!
Want to doze off
Get my clothes off
But must keep awake
Hep! Heave! Hep! Heave! Hep! Heave!
Hep! Heave! Hep! Heave! Hep! Heave!
Hep! Heave! Hep!
Make our food! Do dishes!
Clean and scrub up all day long
You happy-hearted man house elf!
Cleaning, weeding, scrubbing, washing
Keep on working!
Stop that shirking!
Get to work, ungreatful freak!
Working! Working! Working! Working!
Work! Work! Work! Work!
Oh!
