dave malloy, lucy kirkwood & national theatre - a note about witches كلمات أغنية

we work ordinary jobs
live in ordinary houses
scrubbing ordinary hobs
wearing ordinary blouses
smiling sweetly and discreetly
walking neatly and petitely
not important, not commanding
just polite and understanding

we recycle, we make pie
we do yoga and pilates
and we run the bring and buy
and do the washing up at parties
going out for cappuccino
or a naughty glass of pinot
forgettable, disposable, never too emotional
don’t mind us, don’t make a fuss

everybody knows what a witch looks like
silly black hats, silly black hats
which looks not like we look like
broom and cloak, wart and smoke
everybody knows what a witch looks like
which looks not like we look like
so when we little ladies strike
you look the other way
hard liquid evil in a candy covered sh_ll
we are not women
we are h_ll
and there’s one thing that we hate
with a red_hot sizzling hatred
that is more sizzling and red_hot than any hatred you could possibly imagine
children
awful children
stinking children
just like dog’s droppings, children smell
children reek like a sewer
like when you’re rancid, wretched, sour, gunky, filthy, foul, stenchy, funky
every little thing about you is putrid and disgusting
baby noises, tiny hands
toys and nappies
[?] and prams
which is why all witches have a motto:
one child a week is fifty_two a year
squish them and squiggle them and make them disappear
one child a week is fifty_two a year
squish them and squiggle them and make them disappear

[chorus]
everybody knows what a witch looks like
silly black hats, silly black hats
which looks not like we look like
broom and cloak, warts and smoke
everybody knows what a witch looks like
which looks not like we look like
so when we little ladies strike
you look the other way
hard liquid evil in a candy covered sh_ll?
we are not women
we are h_ll
[verse]
and when a child disappears, who do you think gets the blame?
not we ordinary ladies
we’ve learned to play the game
we’ve filled your head with stories of cauldrons, cats and frogs
not cozy cashmere cardies from the bowden catalogue
just a nudge to mr. shakespeare
some hints to brothers grimm
in salem, we made scapegoats
and you tore them limb from limb
they got me, i’m not a witch, i just like being single
they’re the real witches over there
and young girls cry expelliarmus
and young women buy their crystals
countless humans draw the spotlight from the real smoking pistols
go run and tell your parents
they’re never ever believe you
however much you holler it
they’ll still ask us to babysit
the greatest trick the devil ever pulled
was learning how to knit

[chorus]
everybody knows what a witch looks like
which looks not like we look like
so when we dear little ladies strike
you look the other way
everybody knows what a witch looks like
which looks not like we look like
so when we dear little ladies strike
you look the other way
everybody knows what a witch looks like
which looks just like we look like
so when we dear little ladies strike
you look the other way
aren’t they pure evil in a candy_covered sh_ll
we are not women
we are h_ll
h_ll
h_ll, h_ll, h_ll, h_ll, h_ll, h_ll, h_ll, h_ll, h_ll, h_ll, h_ll, h_ll, h_ll
