Just Around The Sorting Hat

To the tune of Just Around the Riverbend by Judy Kuhn.

What I love most about Hogwarts is:
You can't go to the sorting hat twice
You only get one chance, then you're going
And students, I guess, can live like that
But we all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
What's around the sorting hat
Waiting just around the sorting

I look once more
Just around the sorting hat
To Gryffindor
Where they love chivalry
Don't know what for
which house I should choose to be in
Just around the sorting hat
For me
Coming for me

I feel it there beyond this stool
Or right behind McGonagall
Can I ignore that sound of Lions roaring
For a safe ambitious future
with a few death eater brats
to never dream of courage and chivalry?
Just around the sorting hat
Just around the sorting hat

I look once more
Just around the sorting hat
To Gryffindor
It's not Slytherin I see
Don't know what for ...
Why must all my dreams extend
Just around the sorting hat?
Just around the sorting hat ...

Should I choose the smoothest course
Steady as the phoenix flame?
Should I choose Slytherin?
Is all my courage at an end?
Or do you still wait for me, Chivalry
Just around the sorting hat?
