Songtext von Just a Washerwoman

King wants instructor of magic, that foolish man Meanwhile he hunts all the wizards and witches in the land Charlton with no magic power wants to get rich He fools the king into thinking he's a wizard with a few simple tricks Now the charlton gets appointed to king's sorcerer in chief But he doesn't know i'm watching and that i know he's a thief Yeah i may be just a washerwoman but i know That magic is inherited and can't be taught So i'll just watch the king from outside my window pane Babbity rabbity is my name King tries harder and harder to do a spell I laugh because he is failing, and charlton as well King wants to show off his magic, though he has none He plans a demonstration and warns the charlton not to run Now the charlton has realized that i am magical And he says if i don't help him that he will run and tell Yeah i may be just a washerwoman but i know That magic is inherited and can't be taught So i'll just help the king from outside my window pane Babbity rabbity is my name The next day a crowd has gathered To see what the king has mastered With my help he makes a hat disappear and a horse fly around But he couldn't raise the dead "because no magic can raise the dead" "king: why doesn't it work?" "charlton: there, your majesty, there! i see her plain! a wicked witch is blocking your magic with her evil spells! seize her, somebody, seize her!" I run and i am followed by hunting hounds I stop by an aging old tree and i vanish into the ground They think i'm inside the tree so they cut it and it lands with a thump They think they're safe to go home but i cackle from inside the stump I tell them they are cursed for killing a witch And make the charlton admit that he's a lying… prat Though i am just a washerwoman i proclaim That you construct a monument in my name And treat wizards and witches just the same as you Yeah that's what you're gonna do Now i am just a rabbit Babbity rabbity is my name
