The Sorting Hat Song

Another year is coming
and the children stand in line
They are waiting for me to sort them
for that is the purpose of mine

Here at Hogwarts we have four houses
and I will appoint you to one
and when you are snug in your new home
we'll get some magic done

The lions of Gryffindor tower
are the bravest and noblest around
Scarlet and gold are their colours
In their eyes there is hope to be found

In Ravenclaw wit conquers muscle
In blue and in black lie their hearts
They are Rowena's children
she taught them the spell-casting arts

The badgers are loyal of nature
The Hufflepuff house is true
They make the best kind of friendships
and yellow and black are their hues

Last stands the Slytherin household
where those cunning and cold find their kind
They hide behind veils of silver
and know to put heart after mind

You see we are varied in merits
and somewhere in this you belong
It's important that we stand together
for together we will be strong
