Lyrics

Pretty Patty-cake

Witch on the corner
Not very nice
Face like a human sacrifice

Gotta go
You gotta go
Beyond the river's flow

12 years gone rest of her life
Cut you down just for spite
Nothing's left of her home
All that's she's known is gone

There's big money to be had
C'mon flipper
Flipping houses in hill land
Selling them out one by one
Til the witch knows no one

She sits on the corner
She knows what she saw
Telling the truth
Would've got her shot
They have her number
Has to change her name
She leaves her corner
To escape being blamed

Now she falls at your feet
And hopes for justice sweet
She can't be named

Witch on the corner

Witch on the corner
Make a new life
Witch on the corner
Make a new life
Witch on the corner
Make a new life
Escaping hell a sacrifice

She sits on the corner
She knows what she saw
Telling the truth
Would've got her shot
They have her number
Has to change her name
She leaves her corner
To escape being blamed

Gotta go
You gotta go
Patty can't dance no more
Beyond the river's flow

Witch on the corner
Make a new life
Witch on the corner
Make a new life
Witch on the corner
Make a new life
Make a new life yeah
A new life

She's a runaway
She's a runaway

She's a witch on the corner
Witch on the corner
Patty-cake ain't nothing but a snitch
On the corner

Stop snitching Patty-cake
