Listen here: Red Hogwarts Express
Written by Ann, performed by Ann and Nina
To the tune of “Marrakesh Express” by Crosby, Stills, and Nash
On the way to a world
of magical delight
trying to find the train
the platforms not in sight
there is 9 and there is 10
must be here, I’ll look again
gotta get myself onto that train
on the platform now I’m through the barrier
get the trunk on board and settle in a car
there is Ron, a red head guy
could be a new friend to try
will my owl leave his fat rat alone?
Would you know we’re riding
on the red Hogwarts Express
Would you know we’re riding
on the red Hogwarts Express
could be my ticket to success
All on board that train
I’ll be spending all my money on the trolley cart
chocolate frogs and cauldron cakes
Take a train to Hogwarts school up in the north
don’t know what’s in store but I’m ready to burst forth
Dursleys back on Privet Drive
away from them I’m bound to thrive
wizard school is where I’m meant to be
Don’t you know we’re riding on the red Hogwarts Express
Don’t you know we’re riding on the red Hogwarts Express
could be my ticket to success
All on board that train
