Lyrics
(Folk song)
1. There once was a witch,
Believe it if you can,
She tapped on the windows and she ran, ran, ran.
She ran helter-skelter with her toes in the air,
Cornstalks flying from the witch’s hair.
Â
2. “Swish,” goes the broomstick.
“Meow,” goes the cat.
“Plop,” goes the hop toad sitting on her hat.
“Whee!” chucked I, “What fun! What fun!”
Halloween night when the witches run.
