[JG]  Whenever you feel that awful gloom,

And you'd like to toss away your broom,

There is one thing witches do

To keep from feeling blue:

 

They cackle.  Cackle.  Cackle.

[JG, JA, MH, DN]  Cackle, cackle, cackle.

 

[JG]  If someone has tossed a dirty shoe

Right into your favorite witch's brew,

You don't stand around and cry.

You lift your head up high,

 

And cackle.  Cackle.  Cackle.

[JG, JA, MH, DN]  Cackle, cackle, cackle.

 

Cackle in the morning.  Cackle in the night.

?????.  Everything will be all right.

 

[JG]  Yeah, whenever you have a windy night,

And your hair becomes a perfect fright,

You don't run away and hide.

You look on the bright side,

 

And cackle.  Cackle.  Cackle.

[JG, JA, MH, DN]  Cackle, cackle, cackle.

 

And a-one, and a-two, and a-you-know-what-to-do.
