Unite the country through huge debt?
                              
Fight the other order leaders til he has to forfeit?
                              
Have it all, lose it all

Ev'ry Wizengamot change sets a precedent
                              
Not so fast. 
                              
Someone came along to resist him
                              
Pissed him off until we had a political impasse
                              
You haven't met him yet, 
                              
you haven't had the chance

as the ambassador to France
                              
But someone's gotta keep the equality promise
                              
You simply must meet Ronald. Ronald!

France is helping to put down Death Eaters
                              
There are still some remaining threats
                              
But the sun comes up and the world still spins
                              
[ENSEMBLE]

I helped Kingsley organize his Aurors
                              
Then I said, 'I gotta go
                              
I gotta be back in London.' 
                              
Now the work at home begins...
                              
[ENSEMBLE]
                              
Aaa-ooo!

So what'd I miss?
                              
What'd I miss?
                              
England, my home sweet home, 
                              
I wanna give you a kiss
                              
I've been in Paris 
                              
meeting lots of different ladies...
