Harry Potter
The Musical

Act I, Scene 4

Stage: On the island thing after Mr. Dursley drags them far away from home to escape the owls, dark stormy night

Yer Cake
(Your Song, by Elton John & Bernie Taupin, from Moulin Rouge)

Hagrid:
Is listening with increasing rage as the two Muggle parental Dursleys shout about how Harry's not going to Hogwarts while Dudley cries in the corner and Harry blinks silently at his cake not believing what he's hearing

(suddenly shouts over everyone else--singing to Harry)
Myyyy gift is my cake!
And this one's fer you.

And you can tell everybody
That this is yer cake.
It may be just a bit smushed,
But it's still baked.
But all that aside,
Ignore Muggle pride,
As to you I say----
Oh, dear Harry Potter,
Happy Birthdaaaaay!

Flew over here
Not just for the cake.
I've got some news for you
On your eleventh birthday.
To the school Hogwarts,
You are gonna come.
And if they say differn't, Harry,
Then they are just dumb.

So excuse the surprise,
But this must be done.
Every letter's been sent
An' yer the last one!
You're comin' with me,
An' it'll be fun.
You'll learn magic cause,
You're a wizard, Harryyyyy!

Chorus of Owls:
An' you can tell everybody
That you're a wizard.
It sounds a bit crazy but
That is the word.

Hagrid:
An' you can tell everybody
That yer a wizard.
It sounds a bit crazy but
That is the word.
Just you wait and see,
I know you will be
So happy to see
How wonderful life is
In the wizarding worrrrrrld...

But all that aside,
Ignore Muggle pride,
As to you I say----
Oh, dear Harry Potter,
Happy Birthdaaaaay!

(Applause! Applause!)

Lights go down as Hagrid flies off with Harry... offstage... into the dark...

Draco: (to Harry) What did I tell you?! Hagrid wants you!

Harry: Alright! I admit that was a little awkward... (munches on cake) Mmm, this is good...

Draco: Really...?

Harry: Incredible.

Draco: You wouldn't share the wealth now, would you?

Harry: Share? Draco, you really should be careful about using words that aren't in your vocabulary. Some day you might accidentally say something you don't mean.

Draco: I want cake NOW!

Harry: No. It's my birthday.

Draco: (glares) Just wait, I'll get you... This show isn't over.

((Yes, I do realize that 3 of these 4 songs came from Moulin Rouge, what can I say? I'm obsessed! And I got a cute Moulin Rouge purse today and it made me happy!))
