She taught them hard She taught them well Thirty years, cold as hell But kids are cruel at the recess bell Children laugh, children yell Ding dong the witch is dead She put them first Before herself Self sacrifice she cast her spells She saw them turn from books and school Pencils down, the broken rule Ding dong the witch is dead Ding dong the witch is dead Ding dong the witch is dead Red red rover bring the witch on over Break the line gonna send her off to hell Well you know we're gonna slow her on down Oh it's just as well [x2] And the beat goes on She fought them hard She fought them well Through the years Through cracks they fell But kids are cruel at the recess bell Children laugh, children yell Ding dong the witch is dead Ding dong the witch is dead Ding dong the witch is dead
