Oh, you may not think I'm pretty, 
But don't judge on what you see, 
I'll eat myself if you can find 
A smarter hat than me. 
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall, 
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat 
and I can cap them all. 
There's nothing hidden in your head 
The Sorting Hat can't see, 
So try me on and I will tell you 
Where you ought to be.
