Lyrics | |
When I look out my window, many sights to see. And when I look inside my window, so many different people to be. That it's strange, it sure is strange. |
a |
You've got to pick up every stitch, you've got to pick up every stitch, you've got to pick up every stitch. Oh no, must be the season of the witch, must be the season of the witch, must be the season of the witch. |
b |
When I look over my shoulder, what do you think I see? Some old cat looking over his shoulder at me. And he's strange, sure he's very very strange. |
c |
The rabbits are running in the ditch, beatniks are out to make it rich, you've got to pick up every stitch, | d |
You've got to pick up every stitch, you've got to pick up every stitch, you've got to pick up every stitch, Oh no, must be the season of the witch, must be the season of the witch, must be the season of the witch. |
e |
