Hocus Poetry – the Spells from Hocus Pocus

Often overlooked on this 90s gem is the incantations delivered by the 2 spell casting sisters, Winnie & Sarah. Mary doesn’t do her own spells. She’s a work horse. Handles administrative processing and has the “sniffing children” power. She joins in for group recitations though. Such as #1 on the list:

TURN A BOY INTO A CAT:

Twist the bones
and bend the back.

Itch-it-a-cop-it-a,
Mel-a-ka-mys-tic-a.

Trim him of his baby fat.

Itch-it-a-cop-it-a,
Mel-a-ka-mys-tic-a.

Give him fur,
as black as black.

– Just…
– Like…
– This.

REANIMATE THE CORPSE OF A LOVER:

Unfaithful lover long since dead.
Deep asleep in thy wormy bed.
Wiggle thy toes, open thine eyes,
twist thy fingers toward the sky.
Life is sweet, be not shy.
On thy feet. So sayeth I!

~~

PIED PIPER CHILD-HYPNOSIS SONG:

Come Little Children
I’ll Take Thee Away, Into A Land
Of Enchantment

Come Little Children
The Time’s Come To Play
Here In My Garden
Of Magic

Follow Sweet Children
I’ll Show Thee The Way
Through All The Pain And
The Sorrows

Weep Not Poor Children
For Life Is This Way
Murdering Beauty And
Passions

Hush Now Dear Children
It Must Be This Way
To Weary Of Life And
Deceptions

Rest Now My Children
For Soon We’ll Away
into The Calm And
The Quiet

Come Little Children
I’ll Take Thee Away, Into A Land
Of Enchantment

Come Little Children
The Time’s Come To Play
Here In My Garden
Of Shadows
