I'm the sorting hat

So listen when I speak

I'm about to place you in the very house you seek

So come young first years

And discover who you are

Some of you live around here

Others have traveled far

You're all many shapes and sizes

As you can plainly see

But you're always welcome here

So join the family

I'm sorry if I'm confusing you

Or if my speech is too long

So please place you upon your head

And find out where you belong

You could be in brave Gryffindor

Where friendship is the key

Or in witty Ravenclaw

Where you're the wiser you can be

If you're in cunning Slytherin

You can get out of any fix

And last there's friendly Hufflepuff

That's luckily the mix

All of them are great

Thought they're different from each other

So no matter which house you're in

Treat your schoolmate like a brother!
