Season of the Witch (original lyrics)

When I look out my window,
Many sights to see.
And when I look in my window,
So many different people to be
That it's strange, so strange.
You've got to pick up every stitch,
You've got to pick up every stitch,
You've got to pick up every stitch,
Mmm, must be the season of the witch,
Must be the season of the witch, yeah,
Must be the season of the witch.

When I look over my shoulder,
What do you think I see?
Some other cat looking over
His shoulder at me
And he's strange, sure he's strange.
You've got to pick up every stitch,
You've got to pick up every stitch,
Beatniks are out to make it rich,
Oh no, must be the season of the witch,
Must be the season of the witch, yeah,
Must be the season of the witch.
You've got to pick up every stitch,
The rabbits running in the ditch,
Beatniks are out to make it rich,
Oh no, must be the season of the witch,
Must be the season of the witch,
Must be the season of the witch.

When I look.
When I look out my window,
What do you think I see?
And when I look in my window,
So many different people to be
It's strange, sure it's strange.
You've got to pick up every stitch,
You've got to pick up every stitch,
The rabbits running in the ditch,
Oh no, must be the season of the witch,
Must be the season of the witch, yeah,
Must be the season of the witch.
When I look, when I look.

@TheSoSoAgnostic Thanks! It never gets old, I even like it better than the original ;-) It was fun to put the images to the song too.

Thank you ravensky! Just a question tho, I'm older than dirt and I don't remember the Strangelings. How far back do they go? Is all their music so fine? Thanks again.

The Strangelings are a relatively new compilation group founded by The Kennedy's (Pete and Maura). If you follow the links to the right in my info section you'll learn more about them. I first saw them in this guise this past summer at The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. Maura has her own YouTube site (link to the right. THis is from tThe Strangelings latest album, which I love...and I'm older than dirt too! ;-) Glad you liked it, I had fun making the visuals.

Another version that superceeds the original; complete with lots of birds- owls, hawks, alfred hitchcock murder of crows.....

[mrfrogbutt1]

THIS IS HORRIBLE! Flatter than a pancake and horrid voices kinda like homeless cats in the dead of winter, Listening to these bitches is like pealing the paint off a new Porsche

Great recording, great video! I've been looking through the clips for Donovan's original, and I like this one best!
