The Theme Song of the 1976-1977 Gryffindor Quidditch Team (written by James Potter with help from Sirius Black)
(For those of you who attended Highland High School in Medina, Ohio, this is sung to the tune of its alma mater.
The interjections, insults and squabbling by team members as they sing, I leave to your imagination.)
O Gryffindor to thee we sing
Your satellites in everything
We've got a Quidditch game today
Smile down upon us as we play.
Gryffindor, your bravery,
Known everywhere, confer on me
Let me not shrink from the fray
And if I die please make them pay.
I ask of you to make me strong
Even if I'm in the wrong
Help me bludge and help me fight
Give me your ferocious might.
The smartest one, we're all agreed,
Is Ravenclaw; to her we plead
Lend us your tremendous brain
Or all our work will be in vain.
Hufflepuff, to you we say
You can't really help today
We worked real hard each evening through
For all the good it's going to do.
Salazar, you scummy whelp
We still could use a little help
We really need your cunning wiles
But please don't make us snakeophiles.
If all of this is not enough
God, please bring us up to snuff
I know I don't routinely pray
I hope you listen anyway.
Now we've got that all fixed up
We address the Quidditch Cup
For you we dream, we sweat, we pine
Someday, sweetheart, you'll be mine.
You thought this song could get no worse
But each of us gets our own verse
This one's for our Keeper, Green
'Cause they're both short (now that was mean).
Next is Beater Sean Monide
Try to get on his good side
If you like the way you look
Stay away from his right hook.
Our other Beater, Lisa Sidd
Looks like a sweet and harmless kid
You might not think she earned her wings
Until you see the way she swings.
Sirius is simply great
Except he tends to show up late
This of course gets James all pissed
'Cause warm-up's really all he missed.
Blakely's a fantastic guy
He really does know how to fly
But hopeless when it comes to school
In that respect, he's quite the fool.
Potter is the guy in charge
His brain and ego both are large
Really that's his only flaw
Aside from bashing Ravenclaw.
Last is Seeker Abelman
He sucks, but he does what he can
Never mind, he's not that bad
It's just that he thinks James a cad.
Go team!
