The house elves took to the stage and Dobby (their leader) stepped forward and announced in a squeaky
voice 'We shall be singing it's a hard knock life.'
It's a hard-knock life for us!
It's a hard-knock life for us!
Instead of praises, we get tricked!
Instead of raises, we get kicked!
It's a hard-knock life!
Got no life to speak of, so,
It's a hard-knock row we how!
Pillow cases, Instead of clothesl!
Empty Bellies, Instead of full!
It's a hard-knock life!
Don't if feel like our masters always howling?
Don't it seem like there's never any time!
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
It's easier than puttin' up a fight.
No one's there when you make a mistake!
No one cares if you punish yourself or not!
No one dries when your eyes get wet an' weepy!
From all the cryin' you would think this place's a sink!
Oh, No!
No clothes life!
Rotten smelly life!
Always punishing ourselves life!
No tomorrow life!
Nice masters we never see
Dobby: A nice master, what's that?
No one cares for you, a house elf
When you're in an manor or castle!
It's a hard-knock life!
It's a hard-knock life for us!
Instead of praises, we get tricked!
Instead of raises, we get kicked!
It's a hard-knock life!
IT'S THE HARD KNOCK LIFE!!!!!!
The house elves bowed and quickly ran off the stage in the direction of the kitchens, while the students
clapped and cheered.
Harry looked over at Hermione who had a large smile on her face with her eyes watery.
'I reckon she had something to do with that performance, bloody spew!' Ron whispered to Harry.
'I heard that RONALD WEASLY and anyway its S.P.E.W not spew! Get it right already!!' Hermione said
crossly.
Dumbledore came back onto the stage and announced that he himself was going to sing a song.
'Tonight ladies and gentlemen I shall be singing…'
