Lyrics

1 WITCH. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.
 2 WITCH. Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin'd.
 3 WITCH. Harpier cries:—'tis time! 'tis time!
 1 WITCH. Round about the caldron go;
 In the poison'd entrails throw.—
 Toad, that under cold stone,
 Days and nights has thirty-one;
 Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
 Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!
 ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
 Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
 2 WITCH. Fillet of a fenny snake,
 In the caldron boil and bake;
 Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
 Wool of bat, and tongue 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 bubble.
 ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
 Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
 3 WITCH. 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;
 Gall of goat, and slips of yew
 Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse;
 Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips;
 Finger of birth-strangled babe
 Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,—
 Make the gruel thick and slab:
 Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
 For the ingrediants of our caldron.
 ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
 Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
 2 WITCH. Cool it with a baboon's blood,
 Then the charm is firm and good.
