Oh, you may find me unattractive, But don't judge me just by looks I'll swallow myself if you can find A smarter hat than daddy here. You can keep your black bowler hats, Your tall top hats of shiny satin Because I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I'll give ten to zero on any other hat. There is nothing hidden in your head That the Sorting Hat can't see, So just put it in my head and I'll tell you which Hogwarts house you should stay in. Who knows, perhaps his home is Gryffindor, the house where untamed hearts live. Boldness, cold-bloodedness and nobility Make Gryffindor students stand out from the rest; Who knows, maybe it's in Hufflepuff that you'll live, Where its residents are fair and loyal. Patients, sincere, without fear of pain; Or will it be the old and wise Ravenclaw, The house of those whose minds are always alert, Where men of great spirit and knowledge Will always find their equal companions; Or who knows, Slytherin will be your home And there you will make your true friends, Men of cunning who use any means To achieve the ends they previously collimated. Come on, try me! You must not fear! Don't even get in the way! You will be in good hands! (Even though hats don't have feet or hands) Because I'm unique, I'm a Thinking Hat!
