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
