Worst Witch Theme Lyrics

Onward, ever striving onward

Proudly on our brooms we fly,

Straight and true above the treetops

Shadows on the moonlit sky

Never a day will pass before us

When we have not tried our best,

Kept our cauldrons bubbling nicely

Cast our spells with zest

Fearless witches never flinching

Through the dark and dismal night,

Ghouls and ghosts and nightmare monsters

Run away in fright

We are the girls with skills in sorcery

When in flight quite a sight to see,

We're young witches and proud to be

Learning our craft at Cackles' Academy.
