I am the Sorting Hat
You can find me at Hogwarts School
I am never wrong
For I am not a fool
Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw
Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin
Were the original founders
They had one thing in common
They all wanted to build a school
Which they named Hogwarts
There they could teach their magic
To students of all sorts
Gryffindor favored the brave at heart
And Ravenclaw favored the mind
Slytherin like the swift and cunning
While Hufflepuff preferred the kind
They had no way of deciding
Who should go where
When they were all dead and gone
So they did what was Fair
Godric then took me off his head
And put some brains in me
Then he turned to the others
"This is how it's going to be…
Once the child places the hat
Upon its little head
The hat will choose where it should be."
That's what Gryffindor said
So now you know
How I came to be
I bet you'll never find
A smarter hat than me
So put me on your head
We'll have a little chat
I'll find the perfect place for you
For I am the Sorting Hat!
