about

During this upside down 2020 year, including a very different sort of Halloween for kids, we wanted to create a song as our Halloween "treat" for families - an opportunity to have a spookily fun Halloween family dance party at home! The song, "Witch's Broom" was born, imagining witches zooming through the Halloween night sky and offering up an exhilirating ride to listeners. Longtime Jumping Monkeys collaborators Adam Michael Rothberg and Vanessa Trien co-wrote and recorded the tune, just in time for the holiday! Happy broom-flying and Happy Halloween!

lyrics

Witch's Broom
By Vanessa Trien and Adam Michael Rothberg, 2020

Witch's broom, witch's broom / On their brooms see witches zoom
Witch's broom, witch's broom / Take a ride under the moon
Ooh ooh oooh / ooh ooh ooh / ooh ooh ooh / witches broom

Witch's brew, witch's brew / Bubble and boil, stir the witches’ stew
Which is old and which is new / Magic potions just for you
Ooh ooh oooh / ooh ooh ooh / ooh ooh ooh / witches brew

On Halloween night, they’ll give you a fright
Zooming ‘cross the sky
Then they will offer a Halloween flight
So hold on tight, it’s time… to… fly…

Witch's broom, witch's broom / In the air like a hot air balloon
Witches one and witches two / hear them croon a witches’ tune
Ooh ooh oooh / ooh ooh ooh / ooh ooh ooh / witches tune

Owls go hoo, owls go hoo / In the night they’ll call to you
Asking “where, what, why, and who?” Hooting as the ghosts go boo
Hoo ooh oooh / ooh ooh ooh / Hoo ooh ooh / owls go hoo

At the Halloween fair, they’ll give you a scare
Zooming across the sky
So climb on a broomstick if you dare
Up in the air, you’ll climb… so… high…

Witch's broom, witch's broom / In the air see the witches zoom
Witch's broom, witch's broom / Take a ride under the moon
Ooh ooh oooh / ooh ooh ooh / ooh ooh ooh / ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh oooh / ooh ooh ooh / ooh ooh ooh / ooh ooh ooh
