Lyrics

Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd

Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined

Harpier cries 'tis time, 'tis time

Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and night has thirty-one
Swelter'd venom sleeping got
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bouble

Fillet of a fenny snake
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog
Wool of bat and toungue of dog
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting
Lizard's leg and owlet's wing
For a charm of powerful trouble
Like a hell-broth boil and bouble

Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf
Witches' mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark
Root of hemlock digg'd i' the dark
Liver of blaspheming jew
Call of goat, and slips of yew
Silver'd in the moon's eclipse
Nose of turk and tartar's lips
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver'd by a drab
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron
For the ingredients of our cauldron

Coll it with baboon's blood
Then the charm is firm and good

O well done! I commend your pains;
And every one shall share i' the gains;
And now about the cauldron sing
Live elves and fairies in a ring
Enchanting all that you put in

By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
Open,locks
Whoever knocks!
