My name is Matt Hopkins/I'm here to tell a tale/Of those wicked witches/Killing Puritan zeal//They always curse a neighbor/And they make them cry in pain/Possessed of evil spirits/They make people go insane//I'm going to find you witches/And I'm going to hurt them all/You shall pay for heresy/Puritans shall kill them all//I'll make you go through a test/Let's see if you stay afloat/So if you sink deep below/We know you are not a boat//But if you float on the water/It will be proven true/You really are a wicked witch/And we must persecute you
