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
And the beat goes on She taught them hard
She taught them well
Through the years
The cracks they fell
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
