Someone asked about this Sabrina Carpenter song, so enjoy your request! I thought that since James unintentionally caused Cedric to get a song in his head (see chapter 3 of my story The Day the Music Died), Cedric could return the favor and cause a song to play in James' head. Before he casts the spell to give James nightmares, he could cast a spell to make James sing this song (in his room) for a whole day. But as he casts the spell, he can't help but sing along, and he ends up with the song in his head instead! Sabrina Carpenter's music is not mine, but the spell Cedric uses is.

Cedric grumbled as he threw out the potion that had been ruined. "Ohh...thanks to that song of Prince James', I can't concentrate on anything!" He went to his bookshelf, found a book, and leafed through it. "Well, I think I'll return the favor!" He aimed his wand at an image of James in his crystal ball. "Earwormicus popmusica!"

He softly sang along with the music, Somewhere in the world there is a father and a mother
And the father is a son who has a mother
The mother has a daughter who gets married to the brother of a mother
And they all just tryna multiply with one another

'Cause that's just the way of the world
It never ends till the end then you start again
That's just the way of the world
That's just the way of the world

Somewhere in the world they think they're working for themselves
They get up every day to go to work for someone else
And somebody works for them and so they think they got it made
But they're all just working to get paid the very same

As he sang the chorus, he waved his wand at the image of James in his crystal ball. And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum

As she came up to check on him, Sofia, who had sung this with Ruby and Jade, joined in when she heard one of her favorite songs.

Sofia: Somewhere in the world you got a robber and a bank
And the bank robbed the people so the people robbed the bank
And the police came to get him but they let him get away
'Cause they're all just working to get paid the very same

'Cause that's just the way of the world
It never ends till the end then you start again
That's just the way of the world
That's just the way of the world

Cedric gasped when he heard her. 'Odin's icicles!' he thought, 'Now the spell will rebound on the one who cast it! Father said don't let that happen, or the person who cast it sings it for a week!'

And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum

Cedric: Don't believe everything that you hear
Let it go through your left and right ear
Don't just march to the beat of that drum
Don't be one of them people just twiddling them thumbs

'Cause that's just the way of the world
It never ends till the end and then you start again
That's just the way of the world
That's just the way of the world

Cedric struggled to keep from getting into the song, but it was a losing battle as Sofia sang with him.

Cedric and Sofia: And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum

And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
'Cause that's just the way of the world

"Well, that was fun! I haven't sung that for a while! Thanks for the song, Mister Cee-drick!" Sofia smiled as she started cleaning the workshop.

Cedric barely heard her as he started humming the song. "Zeus' Xylophones! Curse this song!"
