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!
