A Gryffindor Am I!

to the tune _Utah Man_ from my Alma Mater, the U of U. Our color is crimson, so I had to write it for Gryffindor!

Hear an excerpt: http://www.alumni.utah.edu/continuum/winter95/UTAHMAN.html 

(plus read about the pilot of the WW II plane _Utah Man_ on that page)

 

Dedicated to Brandon, who could play one heckuva tuba

 

ALL THE GRYFFINDORS:

I am a Gryffindor, sir, and we’re sure that you’ll agree

Our house, it is the bravest bunch that you have ever seen

Our Quidditch team is priceless, each teammate’s a shining star

Our yell, you hear it ringing ‘round the turrets of Hogwarts:

 

CHORUS

Who am I sir? A Gryffindor am I.

A Gryffindor, sir, and will be ‘till I die!

 

We’re up to snuff, we never bluff, we’re game for any fuss

No other Quidditch teams at school dare meet us in the muss.

So fill your lungs and sing it out and shout it to the sky,

We’ll fight for dear ol’ red and gold, a Gryffindor am I!

 

CHORUS

 

And when we go to take our place right at the battle’s front 

We arm ourselves and as a group our foes we will confront

No matter what they throw at us we’ll bravely stand our ground

Our enemies admit we are the bravest gang around.

 

CHORUS

 

We may not live forever on this jolly good old sphere

But while we do we’ll live courageously in spite of fear

And when our Hogwart’s days are o’re and night is drawing nigh

With parting breath we’ll sing this song, "A Gryffindor am I!"
