defence against the Dark Arts class
You undermine our intelligence
We won't take any more of this
Oh my god you look like a frog
Oh my god you look like a frog
Oh my god you look like a frog
Umbridge, you're going down
Umbridge, you're going down
Umbridge, you're going down
Umbridge, you're going down
Your educational decrees are not welcome in our halls
You'll never take the place of Albus Dumbledore
Oh my god you look like a frog
Oh my god you look like a frog
Oh my god you look like a frog
Oh my god you look like a frog
Oh my god you look like a frog
Oh my god you look like a frog
Oh my god you look like a frog
Oh my god you look like a frog
Umbridge, you're going down
Umbridge, we're taking you down
The song "Stick It to Dolores" by Harry and the Potters is a protest against the character Dolores Umbridge, who was introduced in Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix. The lyrics make it clear that the students of Hogwarts are not happy with the way Umbridge is running the school. They don't care for her Defense Against the Dark Arts class, which they believe undermines their intelligence. The chorus repeats the phrase "Oh my god you look like a frog", which is a reference to Umbridge's physical appearance. The repetition drives home the point that the students find her unattractive and do not respect her.
The chorus ends with the students declaring that Umbridge is going down. They do not want her educational decrees in their halls and vow that she will never take the place of Albus Dumbledore. The song is a call to action for the students to stand up against Umbridge and fight for their rights. The repetition of the chorus is catchy and easy to sing along to, making it a powerful rallying cry.
