Lyrics

I put a spell on you
And now you're mine
You can't stop the things I do
I ain't lyin'

It's been three hundred years
Right down to the day
Now the witch is back
And there's hell to pay

I put a spell on you
And now you're mine!

Hello, Salem!
My name's Winifred!
What's yours?

I put a spell on you
And now you're gone
(Gone, gone, gone, so long!)
My whammy fell on you
And it was strong
(So strong, so strong, so strong!)

Your wretched little lives
Have all been cursed
'Cause of all the witches working
I'm the worst

I put a spell on you
And now you're mine

(Watch out! Watch out! Watch out! Watch out!)

If you don't believe,
You better get superstitious
Ask my sisters

Sarah: "Ooh, she's vicious!"

I put a spell on you...
I put a spell on you...
Sisters!

Winnie: "Ah say into pi, alpha maybe upendi!"

Party guests: (repeating) Ah say into pi, alpha maybe upendi!

Winnie: "In comma-coriyama"

Party guests: In comma-coriyama

Winnie: "Hey hi, say bye-bye-i-i-i-i-i-i-i"

"Bye, bye"
