To honor our second Great Founder, we will borrow the theme from H.R. 
Pufnstuf. (Confess, you do remember this tune!) For a nostalgia trip, 
and to sing along with Helga, go to

Helga Hufflepuff

Helga Hufflepuff
Who's your friend when things get rough?
Helga Hufflepuff
She'll teach you until you've learned enough.

Helga came from valley fair
And never thought of leaving there.
She spun her spells with great success
She was a mighty sorceress.

One night she was asleep in bed
She heard a voice inside her head,
"You need to start a school, Helga
Start a wizard schoo-oo-oo-ool."

She knew not what that would become
But very soon, she found a chum.
Rowena Ravenclaw was she
Then Godric Gryffindor made three.

And his best friend
Was Salazar Slytherin.
But they had not
Yet found a spot.
So the search went on and on and on and on and on and on.

But at last they found a space -
A forest, lake, a perfect place!
A castle on a high ascent
And charmed with Disillusionment!

The school was ready to begin
But who should be invited in?
The smart, the brave, or should it be
(spoken) Just those of purest pedigree?

But Helga said, "If they've got heart
I'll teach them all, I'll do my part."
And so her days were wondrous full
Of magic pedagogical.

Helga Hufflepuff
Who's your friend when things get rough?
Helga Hufflepuff
She'll teach you until you've learned enough.

Helga Hufflepuff
Who's your friend when things get rough?
Helga Hufflepuff
She'll teach you until you've learned enough.
