The Little Witch, Out In The Wood With Her Broom
Her Black Cat And All His Brothers And Sisters
Following Her Under The Light Of The Moon

All The Little Witch's Cats Were Black As Tar
In The Woods, They Jumped And Played With Autumn Leaves
Frollicking Under The Silver Moon And Stars

Looking Up, They Saw Green Apples On The Trees
The Little Witch Smiled As All Her Black Cats Played
All So Happy And Naturally Care Free

They Always Like To Play With The Little Witch
And Love To Go For Forest Walks Every Day
