a thousand years or more ago, when i was newly sewn, there lived four wizards of renown, whose names are still well-known: bold gryffindor from wild moor, fair ravenclaw from glen, sweet hufflepuff from valley broad, shrewd slytherin from fen. they shared a wish a hope a dream, they hatched a daring plan, to educate young sorcerers, thus hogwarts school began. now, each of these four founders formed their own house for each did value different virtues in the ones they had to teach. by gryffindor, the bravest were prized far beyond the rest. for ravenclaw, the cleverest would always be the best. for hufflepuff, hard workers were most worthy of admission. and power-hungry slytherin loved those of great ambition. while still alive, they did divide their favorites from the throng. yet how to pick the worthy ones when they were dead and gone? 'twas gryffindor who found the way. he whipped me off his head. the founders put some brains in me so i could choose instead. now slip me snug about your ears. i've never yet been wrong. i'll have a look inside your mind and tell where you belong...
'cause i'm the sorting hat
i'm the sorting hat
i'm the sorting hat
i'm the sorting hat.
oh, you may not think i'm pretty, but don't judge on what you see. i'll eat myself if you can find a smarter hat than me. you can keep your bowlers black, your tops hat sleek and tall, for i'm the hogwarts sorting hat and i can top them all. there's nothing hidden in your head the sorting hat can't see. so try me on and i will tell you where you ought to be. so put me on, don't be afraid, and don't get in a flap. your in safe hands, though i have none, for i'm a thinking cap.
yeah, i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
so hogwarts worked in harmony for several happy years, but the discord crept among us feeding on our faults and fears. the houses that like pillars four had once held up our school now turned upon each other and divided sought to rule. and never since the founders four were whittled down to three have the houses been united as they once were meant to be. and now the sorting hat is here and you all know the score. i sort you into houses because that is what i'm for. but this year i'll go further. listen closely to my song. though condemned i am to split you, still i worry that it's wrong. though i must fulfill my duty and must quarter every year, still i wonder whether sorting may not bring the end i fear. oh, know the perils, read the signs. the warning history shows that our hogwarts is in danger from external deadly foes and we must unite inside her or we'll crumble from within. i have told you; i have warned you. let the sorting now begin.
gryffindor!
ravenclaw!
slytherin!
hufflepuff!
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
hat.
hat.
hat.
hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
i'm the sorting hat.
harry potter fans,
this song is for you!
