hist  whist
little ghostthings
tip-toe
twinkle-toe

little twitchy
witches and tingling
goblins
hob-a-nob  hob-a-nob

little hoppy happy
toad in tweeds
tweeds
little itchy mousies

with scuttling
eyes  rustle and run  and
hidehidehide
whisk

whisk  look out for the old woman
with the wart on her nose
what she’ll do to yer
nobody knows

for she knows the devil  ooch
the devil  ouch
the devil
ach  the great

green
dancing
devil
devil

devil
devil

  wheeEEE
