When I looked out my window

Many sights to see

And when I looked in my window

So many different people to be

That is strange, so strange

You got to pick out every stitch (3)

Must be the season of the witch (3)


When I looked over my shoulder

What do you think I see

Summer cat looking over

It shoulder at me

Any strange, sure is strange

You got to pick out every stitch (2)

Beat me its eye to make it rich oh no

Must be the season of the witch (3)


You got to pick out every stitch

The rabbit's running in the ditch

Beat me its eye to make it rich oh no

Must be the season of the witch (3)

When I go


When I looked out my window

What do you think I see

And when I looked in my window

So many different people to be

It's strange, sure is strange

You got to pick out every stitch (2)

The rabbit's running in the ditch oh no

Must be the season of the witch (3)

When I to, when I go
