*Professor McGonagall silently placed a four legged stool in front of the 
first years.  On top of the stool she put a pointed wizard's hat, patched, 
frayed and extremely dirty.  The hat twitched.  A rip near the brim opened 
wide like a mouth, and an old piano started to magically play in the corner 
of the Great Hall.  Out of nowhere a band striked up and the hat began to 
sing:


You may not think I'm pretty
But I'm not your ordinary chapeau
I'm a-singing today
Just so that all of you will know
I'm the Sorting Hat of this Hogwarts school
Yeah, that's what I do
I do all the sortin'
Reading the thoughts of all of you

McGonagall'll pick me up
And place me down right on top of your head
I'll tell you where you'll go
Let me repeat what I've just said
I'm the Sorting Hat of this Hogwarts school
Yeah, that's what I do
I do all the sortin'
Reading the thoughts of all of you

Perhaps Gryffindor's where you should be
They are brave and honor chivalry
Or maybe Ravenclaw may be your house
If you like to learn and are studious
Who knows, baby?  You can never tell

(musical interlude)

Is Hufflepuff the place for you?
They are just, loyal, hardworking and true
Or will you go to Slytherin?
That's the house where the ambitious are in
Who knows, baby?  You can never tell

Now then try me on for size
As soon as I'm finished with this song
I've never made a mistake
I will tell you where you belong
I'm the Sorting Hat of this Hogwarts school
Yeah, that's what I do
I do all the sortin'
Reading the thoughts of all of you

Yeah, I do all the sortin'
Reading the thoughts of all of you


-Gail B.
