Everyone says Slytherin house is the worst place to be (Why ?)
That's because the dungeons are so cold (The dungeons are so cold)
And because we have to deal with greasy Sevvie Snape (Ew !)
And because our souls have all been sold (to You-Know-Who !)

But there are good parts, too, that you may not have seen (Like what ?)
We get to wear green
Are expected to be mean
See the ickle firsties scream
When we accidentally bump them in the hallways
Get to goof off in Potions just because
Snape would rather yell at Harry Potter
(Yell at Harry Potter)
He would always rather yell at Harry Potter
(Yell at Harry Potter)
Then ever give detention to someone from his own house

We get to wear green
Are expected to be mean
See the ickle firsties scream
When we accidentally bump them in the hallways
Get to goof off in Potions just because
Snape would rather yell at Harry Potter
(Yell at Harry Potter)
He would always rather yell at Harry Potter
(Yell at Harry Potter)
Then ever give detention to someone from his own house

[Dialogue]
- ”Harry Potter! That's ten points from Gryffindor and detention on Saturday!”
- “But, Professor, that's not fair! I've got Quidditch practice!”
- “I don't care !

Thank God for Potter
I got an “A” in Potions
Yay, Harry Potter

Guess Potter's not that bad
