Sorted This Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It doesn't matter if you're a Gryffindor, or Slyther-R-I-N
Just put your wands up,
Cuz you were sorted this way baby.
The Sorting Hat told me as a first year,
I would be in Hufflepuff.
Some students laughed at me as I sat down,
I thought I wasn't good enough.
There's nothing wrong with having badger pride,
Cuz it's the house where I belong.
So hold you head up kid and don't you cry,
The Sorting hat it never wrong.
I'm Hufflepuff and I'm proud,
No I'm not one of the crowd.
I'm in the right house baby,
I was sorted this way!
Some people won't accept you,
Just find the strength to be true,
You're in the right house baby
You were sorted this way!
Oh there ain't no other way,
Babe I was sorted this way
Baby I was sorted this way! (sorted this way).
Oh there ain't no other way,
Babe I was sorted this way
I'm in the right house baby,
I was sorted this way!
Don't be a spare, just never change.
Don't be a spare, just never change.
Don't be a spare, just never change.
Give yourself credit, you're here because
You're dedicated and you're fair.
Hardworking, patient and a friend to all,
So put your badger paws up in the air.
A different house is not a sin,
Not even Slyther-R-I-N (hey, hey, hey)
I love the house I'm in and so should you,
Cuz gloriatione qui sis.
I'm Hufflepuff and I'm proud,
No I'm not one of the crowd.
I'm in the right house baby,
I was sorted this way!
Some people won't accept you,
Just find the strength to be true,
You're in the right house baby
You were sorted this way!
Oh there ain't no other way,
Babe I was sorted this way
Baby I was sorted this way! (sorted this way).
Oh there ain't no other way,
Babe I was sorted this way
I'm in the right house baby,
I was sorted this way! (Way, way)
Don't be a spare, just never change
Whether or not they think you're strange
You're eagle, badger, lion snake,
Your house does not your future make.
Whether the students in your school,
Are bullies and to you are cruel
Rejoice and love yourself today,
Cuz baby, you were sorted this way.
No matter what they may say,
From my house I'll never stray,
I'm in the right house baby,
And here I'm gonna stay!
No matter which house you crave,
I will be Hufflepuff made.
I'm in the right house baby,
I was born to behave!
I'm Hufflepuff and I'm proud,
No I'm not one of the crowd.
I'm in the right house baby,
I was sorted this way!
Some people won't accept you,
Just find the strength to be true,
You're in the right house baby
You were sorted this way!
Oh there ain't no other way,
Babe I was sorted this way
Baby I was sorted this way! (sorted this way).
Oh there ain't no other way,
Babe I was sorted this way
I'm in the right house baby,
I was sorted this way!
I was sorted this way, I was sorted this way
I'm in the right house baby
I was sorted this way.
I was sorted this way!
I was sorted this way, I was sorted this way
I'm in the right house baby
I was sorted this way.
I'm here to stay, sorted this way.
I'm here to stay, sorted this way.
