Ding - Dong! The Witch Is Dead
Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead
