Harry Potter
The Musical

Act II, Scene 2

Stage: Harry and Ron are sitting in the Hogwarts Express on their way to... well... Hogwarts.

I'm On My Way
(I'm On My Way, by The Proclaimers, from Shrek)

Ron: (munching on some Bertie Botts) Thanks a lot for all the candy, Harry, we've got so much candy it's like a party! Not that we have anything to celebrate, I mean, really, it's just school...

Harry: That is something to celebrate for me. You have no idea what it was like with the Dursleys, it was horrible!

(sings)
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today!
Uh-huh.

Ron:
Uh-huh

Harry:
Uh-huh

Ron:
Uh-huh

Harry:
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today!
Uh-huh.

Ron:
Uh-huh

Harry:
Uh-huh

Ron:
Uh-huh

Harry:
I'm on my way into the wizarding world,
And years from now I'll be livin' in that world,
And everything that I'll receive up yonder
Will make me so glad that I have wandered.

I took a right,

Both:
I took a right turning yesterday!

Harry:
Uh-huh.

Ron:
Uh-huh.

Harry:
Uh-huh.

Ron:
Uh-huh.

Both:
I took a right, I took a right turning yesterdaaaaay-ay-ay-ay-ay!
I took the road that brought me to the station,
I'll take the train to halls that I can walk down,
I'll walk the halls and get hopelessly lost there,
And climb the stairs that will lead to who-knows-where!

And now that I am finally gone
I will stand up and sing:
I'm sitting on top of the world!"

Harry:
I'll do my best,

Both:
I'll do my best to do the best I can

Harry:
Uh-huh

Ron:
Uh-huh

Harry:
Uh-huh

Ron:
Uh-huh

Both:
I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I caaa-ha-ha-han!
To keep my feet from jumping from the ground here,
To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth here,
To leave the past, for best is in the present,
To try and learn when I am taught a lesson.

And now that I am finally gone
I will stand up and sing:
I'm sitting on top of the world!"

We're on our way from misery to happiness today!

Harry:
Uh-huh

Ron:
Uh-huh

Harry:
Uh-huh

Ron:
Uh-huh

Both:
We're on our way from misery to happiness todaay-ay-ay-ay-ay!

We're on our way into the wizarding world,
And years from now we'll be livin' in that world,
And everything that we'll receive up yonder
Will make us so glad that we have wandered.

We're on our way into the wizarding world,
And years from now we'll be livin' in that world,
And everything that we'll receive up yonder
Will make us so glad that we have wandered.

I'm on my wa-ay-ay!
I'm on my wa-ay-ay!
I'm on my wa-ay-ay!
I'm on my wa-

Hermione: (bursts through the doors) Do you two mind?! Some of us are trying to study!!

Ron: (exchanges a mischievous glance with Harry) (sings)
I'm on my wa-ay-ay!

Hermione:
What was that?

Harry:
I'm on my wa-ay-ay!

Hermione: Stop it!

Both:
I'm on my wa-ay-ay!

(Applause! Applause!)

Draco: You know, Potter, that was bad enough by itself that I don't even need to comment on it to make it any worse.

Harry: Just... shut up, Malfoy. You're driving me crazy. You're just jealous because this musical isn't called Draco Malfoy and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Draco: (smirks as Harry walks away) I wouldn't say that. (runs off with a box of doctored playbills)
