THE TIME: Early 12th-Century or so.  A CHORUS OF EARLY MEDIEVAL 
WITCHES & WIZARDS celebrate some of the predecessors of the Noble 
Sport of Wizards

CHORUS OF WITCHES & WIZARDS
Burn the barrels 
Swell the bladder
Raise the pole up,
Time to play!
Let us look back to the very first day
When we needed something we could fly
You know that it was a broomstick that all of us soon picked, here's 
why!

CHORUS OF WIZARDS
It's a time for deeds of daring
As we climb towards solar rays

CHORUS OF WITCHES
Send the brooms up
Bring our fans in 
Now we'll zoom up,
Time to play!

CHORUS OF WITCHES & WIZARDS
So we started
Some brand-new games
With some odd names
We'll survey

CHORUS OF WITCHES
When it's Stichstock,
Make your broom sharp
See each witch rock
When it's Stichstock,
Time to play

CHORUS OF WIZARDS
Don the cauldrons
Bang the slow drum
Blow the horn loud
Time to play.

Here's the game that is played by us Scotsman
We place cauldrons atop every head
As we collect falling boulders
To make us all bolder – or dead
Doo doo doo doo dah

CHORUS OF WITCHES
There's a meet in snowy Sweden
We compete in to this day
>From Kopparberg
To Arjeplog
Past the iceberg
Time to play.

CHORUS OF WITCHES & WIZARDS
It's a time for deeds of daring
As we climb towards solar rays
Send the brooms up,
Drop the rocks down,
Raise the pole up,
Flee the Short-Snout,
Hallelujah!
Time to play!
Hey!
