Lyrics

We are the witches, see our brooms.
We keep pet toads in our rooms.
They are guys that done us wrong.
But now they sing a sorry song.

We are the witches, we like cats.
They like to snuggle, unlike bats.
But then they see our pointy hats,
And suddenly our hats are flat.

We are the witches, stirring our cauldrons,
Newts and toadstools, bubbling potions;
Smells like chicken, tastes like slime,
So keep on stirring, give it time.

We are the witches, we like mead.
It’s mostly legal, unlike weed.
Honey and yeasties, bubbling brew,
We joyfully hoist a glass or two.

We are the witches, we like crows.
They always wear their best black clothes.
We know they love their shiny things,
And glitter on their blue-black wings.

We are the witches, we ride brooms,
Over the rooftops we are flewn.
We buzz the courthouse in the full moon,
And happily sing a witchy tune.

Earth, air, fire, water, come to me, Gaia’s daughter;
Come to me, Myrrdin’s son, ancient spirits, mighty ones.

Poking Fun at Witch Stereotypes

Like you, I … Poking Fun at...
