I Read It In The Prophet

(A FILK by Gail Bohacek to the tune of _I Heard It Through the Grapevine_)


There are several versions of this song, but being the person I am, I dig C.C.R.'s version the best.

Midi is here (you have three to choose from...heh):  http://ynucc.yeungnam.ac.kr/~bwlee/ccrmidi.htm

Dedicated to Arcum.

Aberforth's Archie-Bunker-type next door neighbor is singing (and his wife is the back-up):

I read it in this morning's news
Aberforth has been accused
Of a certain crime which I won't speak
Because it makes my stomach weak
Wasn't the least surprised
'Cause I knew
Aberforth is a great fool

I read it in the prophet
'Bout the crimes he did commit
Oooo...Aberforth had to admit
But he didn't seem to feel regret
Gulpin' gargoyles, baby
(Read it in the Prophet 'bout the crimes that he'd committed, baby)

They say Aberforth is a good guy
But that he has a darker side
Casting charms
On goats improperly
Was found by the Ministry
I could have told them myself
Bet he does the House-elf

Today
I read it in the Prophet
Always knew he wasn't legit
Oooo...it got my wife all upset
And I just about done threw a fit
Gulpin' gargoyles, baby
(Read it in the Prophet and he just about threw a fit, baby)

They tell me you can't believe all you read
But don't doubt he did the deed
I'd often hear the noise next door
In the House of Dumbledore
So I know that it's all true
What's the Wizarding World coming to?

Oooo...I read it in the Prophet
How could Aberforth have done it?
Oooo...they took the goat to a vet
This is something I'd rather forget
Gulpin' gargoyles, baby
(Read it in the Prophet something that I'd rather forget, baby)

I knew all along
That he's just plain wrong...
