Harry Potter Sorting Hat Song

In times when dragons roamed the land

When Hogwarts first was born

Each of the four founders

Made an oath that there was sworn.

Gryffindor would teach the bold

Hufflepuff the kind

Ravenclaw sought intelligence

Slytherin ambition would find.

Yet as they focused on these four

The rest were left forgotten

And founders too soon grew apart

The school at times b'came rotten.

And over history again

These same mistakes where made

And every time the times turned dark

Without any aid.

So harken now to what I say

Do not close your ears

For what I say is good and true

For you and for your peers.

Dear Ravenclaws you should work hard

Study, do your part

Yet do not let intelligence

Begin to cloud your heart.

Sweet Hufflepuffs remember

it's good to be kind and true

But not everyone will listen

Make sure they care for you.

Slytherins, be clever

Ambition's a good ability

But remember: with great power

Comes great responsibility.

Gryffindor's, show bravery

Fight for what is right

But remember that it's possible

To make peace without a fight.

So now as I sort you

And you begin to make new friends

Remember those in history

Who died to make amends.

For perhaps the banner's colors

Show the house where you reside

But remember in your fights and hates

You're all the same inside.
