Recently, there have been a number of House fight songs, all done to
the tune of the Michigan Fight Song.  That's all well and good, of
course, but it occurs to me that for Slytherin House, nothing but the
best will do, and that means... <drumroll>... Tom Lehrer!  So, without
further ado, I present:

Cheat Boldly, Slytherin
to the tune of "Fight Fiercely, Harvard"
dedicated to Caius Marcius

Cheat boldly, Slytherin, cheat, cheat, cheat!
Commit at least a hundred fouls.
There is no glory in defeat,
So make the opposition howl!

And we will celebrate our victory,
We'll string up Potter from the nearest tree. (How jolly!)
Knock their Keeper off his broom,
And cheat, cheat, cheat!

Cheat boldly, Slytherin, cheat, cheat, cheat!
Break every rule that's in the book.
The other teams don't stand a chance,
We'll beat them all by hook or crook.

We'll do it, whatever it takes us to win!
We're gonna grab that Cup for Slytherin! (We'll steal it!)
Steal their playbook, hex their brooms,
And cheat, cheat, cheat!
That's what we're best at!
Cheat, cheat, cheat!
Just don't get caught, though!
Cheat, cheat, cheat!
