Down with Children

[Witches]
Down with children! Do them in!
Boil their bones and fry their skin!
Bish them, squish them
Bash them, mash them!
Break them, shake them
Slash them, smash them!

Offer chocs with magic powder
Say ‘eat up!’ then say it louder!
Cram them full of sticky eats
Send them home still guzzling sveets

In the morning little fools
Marching off to separate schools
All at once, all in a trice
There are no children!
Only mice!
Only mice!
Only mice!

Will someone fetch some mousetraps please!
And don’t forget to bring the cheese!
Mousetraps come and every trap goes snippy-snip!
Snippy-snip!
Snappy-snap! Snappy-snap!

Mousetraps have a powerful spring
Springs go crack and snip snap ping!
Lovely noise for us to hear
Music to a witch’s ear!

Dead mice is every place around
Piled two feet deep upon the ground
The teachers cry, ‘what’s going on?
Oh where have all the children gone?’

Poor teachers don’t know what to do
Some sit and read, and just a few
Amuse themselves during the day
By sveeping all the mice away
And no-one will ever suspect any foul play!

And all of us witches shout hooray!
All of us witches shout hooray!
All of us witches shout hooray!
All of us witches shout hooray!
All of us witches shout hooray!
Hooray!
Hooray!
Hooray!
Hooray!
Hooray!
Hooray!
Hooray!
Hoooraaaaay!
