I guess I basic'lly missed 
                              
the late nineties...
                              
I traveled the wide, wide world 
                              
and came back to this...
                              
[ENSEMBLE]
                              
Aaa-ooo!
                              
[WEASLEY]
                              
There's a letter on my desk from the Minister
                              
Haven't even put my bag down yet
                              
Mum, be a lamb, dear, 
                              
Won't cha open it?
                              
It says the Minister's assembling new heads
                              
And that I am to be the 
                              
Head of International Relations
                              
Great!
                              
And that I'm already 
                              
Wizengamot-approved...
                              
I just got home and 
                              
now I'm headed up to London
                              
[ENSEMBLE]
                              
Headin' to London!
                              
Headin' to London!
                              
[WEASLEY]
                              
Lookin' at the rolling fields
                              
I can't-
                              
[WEASLEY/ENSEMBLE]
                              
-believe that we are free 

                              
[WEASLEY]

                              
Ready to face
                              
Whatever's awaiting- 
                              


                              
[WEASLEY/ENSEMBLE]

                              
-me in Lon-don.
                              
[WEASLEY]
                              
But who's waitin' for me when I step in the place?
                              
My friend, Hermione Granger, red in the face
                              
She grabs my arm and I respond
                              
"What's goin' on?"
                              
[ENSEMBLE]
                              
Aaa-ooo!
                              
[GRANGER]
                              
Ronald, we are engaged in 
                              
a battle for our nation's very soul
                              
Can you get us out of the mess we're in?
                              
[ENSEMBLE]
                              
Aaa-ooo!
                              
[GRANGER]
                              
Malfoy's new financial plan is nothing 
                              
less than Death Eater forgiveness
                              
I've been fighting for muggleborns alone 
                              
Where have you been?
                              
[ENSEMBLE]
                              
Aaa-ooo! 
                              
[WEASLEY]
                              
Uh... France.
                              
[GRANGER]
                              
We have to win
                              
[WEASLEY]
                              
What'd I miss?
                              
[ENSEMBLE]
                              
Wha? Wha? What'd I miss?

                              
What'd I miss?
                              
I've come home to this?

                              
Headfirst into a political abyss!
                              
Headfirst, into the abyss!

                              
I have my first cabinet meeting today
                              
Chik-a-pow!

                              
I guess I better think of something to say
                              
I'm already-

                              
[WEASLEY/ENSEMBLE]
                              
-on my way-
                              
[WEASLEY]

                              
-to the bottom of this...
                              
What did I miss?

                              
Ahhh ah!
                              
[McGONAGALL]
                              
Mr. Weasley, welcome home
                              
[MALFOY]
                              
Mr. Weasley? 
                              
Draco Malfoy
                              
[MCGONAGALL AND ENSEMBLE]
                              
Mr. Weasley, welcome home
                              
[COMPANY]
                              
Mr. Weasley, welcome home
                              
Sir, you've been off in Paris for so long!
                              
[WEASLEY]
                              
So what did I miss?
                              


                              


                              


                              


                              


                              
FUN FACT #3 - I ripped the CD (how retro, right?) into my computer/phone and, for some reason, this song didn't rip. So, it is the song I've listened to the least amount of times. But I've heard it watching the play and listening to the youtube soundtrack. Maybe I'll fix it... when I get ambitious.
