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 made me look like a jerk
Do you think that you're better than me ?
Well, that hurts

Why won't you shake my hand ?
Why won't you shake my hand ?
Why won't you shake my hand, Harry Potter ?

Oh, here we go

Why won't you shake my hand ?
Why won't you shake my hand ?
Why won't you shake my hand, Harry Potter ?
