When the autumn leaves fall down
And the berries on the bush turn brown
That is when the Old Cottage Witch
Comes back to town.
Please sing along with me,
and the spirit of Bobby Darin,
as we welcome her back
to BeTWeen the MooNliGht and the MaJic,
to the tune of
Mac the Knife:
Here we go...
Oh, the rats bite
And the crows flight
And the autumn leaves
fall down
When the night falls
And the moon shines
That means the Witch is
back in town
With Bitty Morsel, Old Witch Hazel
Sara Jane and Baby Boo
Oh yeah, the fright forms
on the right, dear
And all the stories will
come true
So be careful
When the time comes
MooNlIghT and MaJIc shall abound
And there will be no
way around it
The Cottage Witch is
back in town.
And so,
my pretties,
begins our month long journey
BeTwEen the MooNLigHt and the MajIC.
I hope you have
a safe and fun trip
and will join us
at the Cottage
each week.
The Cottage Witch
Pumpkins fat and witches lean
Coal black cats with eyes of green
By all the magic ever seen
We wish you luck
This Halloween

Judy, what a fun post! I love all your witches. You definitely have the Halloween spirit! Happy Fall!
ReplyDeleteOoooh let the fun begin. I'm finally back up and running after 5 days in the hospital - preceded by a long summer of bad health - but things are indeed looking up - and this party is just what I need. I do so look forward to this time of the year at your house - all the witches and majic and fun. Now I'm singing the song in my head, I like your new words - very clever. Happy Halloween month my dear.
ReplyDeleteOh this was so cute.. and love the "song" to Mac the Knife! I'll have that song in my head now for days! Your photos are awesome and creepy..... and love all the lanterns on your porch. I bet it looks so neat at night.. will the witch sit on your porch and scare the trick and treaters???? I'll never forget when I took my young son trick or treating up by Walla Walla, WA years ago.. and we walked up onto one porch, and there were a couple of scarecrows slouched down on a bench, and we knocked on the door, and BOO! they both jumped up and scared the you know what out of us! That was so much fun! Have a fun month! Marilyn
