Currently Playing: The Hat Knew — The Sorting Hat Saw It Coming

The Sorting Hat has sat on a thousand heads, and nobody ever asks the hat. So the hat sings: about the proud girl it sorted in a second, the shaking boy who begged "not Slytherin", and how it knew all along they'd end up holding hands by the willow tree.

[Verse 1] She sat down proud with a chin up high, Ice in her hair and frost in her eye. I barely touched down, Didn't need a look. "SLYTHERIN!" Read her like a book, Then came the boy with the messy hair. Knees all shaking on the wooden chair. I found him some green, A serpent's spark — He begged "not there!" Like a cry in the dark. [Pre-Chorus] One took a second, One took all night. One wanted distance, one wanted a fight. The lions went wild in the red and the gold, But the hat already knew how the tale would unfold. [Chorus] The hat knew, the hat knew, Saw the green in him, And the gold in her too. He begged not the snakes, Now he's sneaking out at three. Holding hands with a serpent by the willow tree, Took him four long years, Took me one short song, The hat knew, the hat knew, All along. [Verse 2] Now I sit on a shelf in the headmaster's den, The portraits spill the tea again and again. She hexed him at breakfast, She healed him by noon. He walked her to the tower, Underneath the moon. My song's too long and the first-years starve. I've got no chill, But I've got some nerve. The hat chose violence. No, darling — fate. A lion and a serpent on the same dinner plate. [Patter] Ravenclaw'd have written them a sixty-page review. Hufflepuff'd have baked a cake that said I'm proud of you. Gryffindor'd have charged right in, With a sword and not a plan. Slytherin'd have blackmailed them. And honestly, I'm a fan. [Chorus] The hat knew, the hat knew, Saw the green in him, And the gold in her too. He begged not the snakes, Now he's sneaking out at three. Holding hands with a serpent by the willow tree, Took him four long years, Took me one short song, The hat knew, the hat knew all along. [Bridge] I've been inside both your heads, Heard every word you never said. She's scared, she's not brave, He's scared, he's not good. Each holds the half that the other one should. I don't sort by blood. I don't sort by name. I sort by the heart. And your hearts are the same. [Final Chorus] The hat knew, the hat knew, A thousand years of heads never quite these two, One begged not the green, One wore it like a crown. Now the whole castle's whispering it, Up and down the school screaming "Hat, you're mad!" I'm the oldest wingman this place ever had! The hat knew, the hat knew, The hat knew, the hat knew, All along. [Outro] He would have done well in Slytherin. He's doing very well with one.
