FILK:  It's a Real Flint

Based on "It's a Small World" by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B.

dedicated to Lexicon Steve, who taught me the origin of the 
term "Flint" (I had tried looking it up in the dictionary ;-)

It's a world of laughter 
A world of tears 
It's a world of hopes 
And a world of fears 
There's so much that we share 
That it's time we're aware 
What's a real Flint after all 

There is Marcus Flint
Who was in Book Three 
Book Two was the last
Time we should have seen
Though Jo tried to explain 
He did a year again
It's a real Flint after all 

It's a real Flint after all 
It's a real Flint after all 
It's a real Flint after all 
It's a real, true Flint

Harry sees his Mum
And Diggory die
But he doesn't see
Thestrals when they fly
Though Jo tried to explain
He had to feel the pain
It's a real Flint after all 

It's a real Flint after all 
It's a real Flint after all 
It's a real Flint after all 
It's a real, true Flint

Ronald's prefect badge
Is scarlet and gold
But Percy's was silver
As Book One told
Since Harry's mind retains
Both pins looking the same
It's a real Flint after all 

It's a real Flint after all 
It's a real Flint after all 
It's a real Flint after all 
It's a real, true Flint

When Hagrid told us
He flew to the rock
We said "A Flint!"
"A wizard he is not!"
But now there are thestrals
Who come to the rescue
It's a false Flint after all 

It's a false Flint after all 
It's a false Flint after all 
It's a false Flint after all 
It's a false, non-Flint
