Lyrics

When I look out my window,

There's so many sights to see

When I look in my window,

There's so many people to be

That it's strange, yeah

I think it's strange right now

You've got to pick up every stitch – you do now

You've got to pick up a-every stitch right now

You've got to pick up a-every stitch – hey, hey

Oh no!

Hey, must be the season of the witch

Hey, hey, yeah – must be the season of the witch

When I look over my shoulder,

What do you think I see?

Somebody looking over,

Over his shoulder at me

And it's strange

I know, it's strange

It's so very very strange right now

So so so strange

She gotta pick up every stitch – yes she gotta

Gotta pick up every stitch right now, ah

Ya gotta pick up every stitch, people

You see the, see the rabbits running in the ditch now

Now, now a filthy beatnik man's out to make it rich, ah

Hey, you gotta pick up every stitch, people – ohh, no!

It must be the season of the witch

Ooh, hey, hey...

It must be the, it must be the, it must be the, must be –

The season of the witch

Hey hey hey!

Hey, hey, I know...

Yes, I do

A rabbit, rolling in the ditch

You've gotta look out right now

That's why I keep running, hey

Da-da-daaay... and so I know, we gotta keep on

Got to keep on

Hey, got to look out

Hey, got to look out

Don't worry, huh

I know it's that time...

When I look out my window,

There's so many sights to see

And when I look in my window, yeah,

There's so many people to be

You know I think it's strange, people

It's got to be very strange right now

You've got to pick up, you've got to pick up

You've got to pick up every stitch

You've got to pick up every stitch right now

I can see that the rabbit, you know, is running in the ditch

Stoned beatnik, out to make it rich

You've got to pick, you've got to pick every stitch

Listen to me now – oh, no! No! No!

Oh, no!

Must be the season of the witch

Hey, hey – it's gotta be it

It's gotta be, yeah, it's gotta be,

It's gotta be the season...

You know – it's open season now

You know, the season – of the witch

Play on...

Well, alright...
