lyrics

I know an old witch who went out one night
To boil up a brew to stir up a fright
She tossed in a toadstool and a hiss of a cat
Some musty dusty powders and the tail of a rat

She cackled like a jackle by the pale moonlight
Sipped from the ladel but it wasn’t quite right
She went out a-searchin’ in the deep dark woods
The potion needed something to be terribly good

She picked up a plant. It was poison oak
And swallowed three leaves … it ain’t no joke
Perhaps she’ll croak

I know an old witch who swallowed a goblin
Whose eyeballs were wiggling and waggling and wobbling
She swallowed the goblin to the chase the oak
The poison oak… perhaps she’ll croak

I know an old witch who swallowed a vampire
“One vampire! Ah ha ha ha ha!”
She sat by the campfire and swallowed a vampire

I know an old witch who swallowed an ogre
“Get out of my swamp!”
The ogre was dripping with green slimy boogers

I know an old witch who swallowed a zombie
What good would this song be without a zombie?

I know an old witch who swallowed a wizard
“Alakazam!”
Who cast a spell and got stuck in her gizzard

The spell created a spooky fog
And turned the old witch into a frog

And she croaked up the wizard, chased by the zombie…ogre…vampire…goblin…poison oak…
And then she croaked! “Ribbet, Ribbet!”
