LYRICS:

The witch is worried 
Which is bitch? 
Take both of them in and do a spin 
Experimenting 
With fingers spreading 
Lips concealing the secrets of the joy 

The witch-hunt is coming to town 
You better look around 
The witch-hunt is coming to town 
They´ll see that you will get found 

The witch is clever 
Forgets never 
She take her revenge All in the end 
Two at the time 
Bell tolls inside 
Casting joy all over you Oh boy 

The witch-hunt is coming to town 
You better look around 
The witch-hunt is coming to town 
They´ll see that you will get found 

The whip is ready 
Standing steady 
In between the hands By your command 
Do what you have to do 
And she´s glad to 
Take your little life And ride away 

The witch-hunt is coming to town 
You better look around 
The witch-hunt is coming to town 
They´ll see that you will get found
