1st Witch: "We shall make a brilliant spell,
That will make our enemies swell."
2nd Witch: "To the size of a wrinkled bull-frog!"
3rd Witch: "The type that lives in a snot-green bog."
All the old hags cackled with glee,
1st Witch: "Oh, Great Spell-Book, come to thee."
3rd Witch: "How do we make this enchantment?"
2nd Witch: "That from the Depths of Hell is sent!"
The witches covered the cauldron with an old shroud,
Then they chanted the oh-so-ancient brew out loud;
All Witches: "Shell of a turtle, sting of a bee,
Black and white skin of a zebra's knee."
2nd Witch: "Spit from a camel, beak of the snowy owl,"
"A turtle dove's shadow, a cat on the prowl."
3rd Witch: "A fly's antenna, the blood of a king,"
A vampire's tooth, a dark-brown moth wing."
1st Witch: "The blubber of a whale, the red and rusted key,
A toenail from a budgie, and the scream of a banshee."
All Witches: "Mix it all up 'till it goes green,
And it gets a pearly sheen."
3rd Witch: "Then boil it on the fire a while,"
1st Witch: "Until it smells completely vile."
2nd Witch: "Then thou shall take the cauldron pot,
When the mixture is still hot!"
1st Witch: "Then pour it into a silver urn"
2nd Witch: "And the person who drinks it's blood will churn!"
3rd Witch: "Then they will turn into a green bull-frog"
All Witches: "The type that lives in a murky bog!"
