The Sorting Hat said,
‘Slytherin could make you great.’
But you pleaded with him: ‘No’
And I think that was a big mistake
‘Cause kindness can only get you so far
And I don’t believe it was love that created your scar
It was the will to live
Oh, Harry, why won’t you be my friend?
The first day at Hogwarts I offered you my hand
But you refused it, why, I just don’t understand
‘Cause you left me no choice but to
Insult all the people that you chose to stand next to
You make me look like a jerk
Do you think that you’re better than me?
Well that hurts
Why wont you shake my hand?
Why wont you shake my hand?
Why wont you shake my hand, Harry Potter?
Here we go!
Why wont you shake my hand?
Why wont you shake my hand?
Why wont you shake my hand, Harry Potter?
I think it was actually ‘But you beat it with “Hell no” and I think that was a big mistake’. Just saying, cos this is one of my absolute favourite songs.
