Ketchna

Where is Ketchna? It is in orbit around some mother Pass the ketchup please In Ketchna In Ketchna they hang their socks in chimneys Waiting for them to turn white A satanic hex will cost you more in Winter The local gypsy witch has itchy fingers She steals socks and little children Frost grows on her pointed nose The letter B is interchangeable with W But a witch is still a witch in Ketchna A noose swings her by the neck For hanging around doing nothing Girls in the village ride ponies into church Some pronounce their vows without sound They are not there to say prayers You can count on that before the rosaries Sheep are not allowed to form crowds Leave that to the undertaker Animals must wipe their feet before leaving According to the mat on the floor ordinance Ketchna has outhouses with corn Horns come as a warning of boredom Use rubber gloves as you enter You will never be bored before you are born It makes perfect sense to bring paper
