FILK: Sirius Black

No: HPFGUIDX 34355

All these recent threats about Sirius, combined with listening to 
Nick Cave on my Walkman, have inspired me to a fit of rhyming.  
Since I've seen other filks posted in the past, I hope this one 
won't be taken amiss.

Sirius Black
A Harry Potter filk by Mariner
(to the tune of "Jangling Jack" by Nick Cave)

Sirius Black, common sense he lacked,
Ditched the secret-keeper job,
But he was on the wrong track,
Gave the job to Pete,
Said, "You know what to do,"
Pete ratted him out
To You-Know-Who.
Sirius Black and Pete
Dueled in the street,
Pete got away
And Black took the heat,
Though he didn't do it, he didn't do it.

Now, Sirius Black, blamed for the attack,
Got sent to Azkaban,
Where he went a bit cracked.
Huddled in his cell,
While Dementors drooled,
Till he found out Pete 
Was at Hogwarts School.
Said, "I must escape
>From this pile of rubble,
Better do it on the double,
'Cause Harry's in trouble."
Changed into a dog
And quickly made tracks,
Became a fugitive,
did Sirius Black.

Sirius Black
Didn't do it, didn't do it
Sirius Black
Didn't do it, didn't do it.

Sirius Black comes to Hogwarts School,
Prowls outside the grounds
Like a big Grim ghoul,
Terrorizes Ron
Without meaning to
While tring to kill
Peter Pettigrew.
Sees the frightened school,
Sees Harry and friends,
Says to himself,
"Pete's life must end,
And I will do it, and I will do it."

Well, Sirius Black
As a matter of fact
Meets up with Harry and friends
In the Shrieking Shack,
Reunites with Lupin,
Exposes Pete,
Looks like Sirius Black
Has landed on his feet,
But then Snape butts in
And Peter scrams,
So Sirius Black
Goes back on the lam,
Though he didn't do it, he didn't do it.

Sirius Black
Didn't do it, didn't do it
Sirius Black
Didn't do it, didn't do it
