Lyrics:All the children testified that Miss Macbeth
wore a fishbone slide in her cobweb tresses

Her eyes were black like first foot coal, clutched
as white as chalk-dust
Her fingers
sweated india-ink and poison-pen
letters
There is a hungry hanging tree, just below your

bedroom window
You can hear her take a broom to beat out a
tattoo on the ceiling

Her bloodless face ran red inside but was she
really evil, was she only pantomime

And as they tormented her she rose to the bait
Even a scapegoat

And everyday she lives out another love song
"You're up

Miss
Macbeth has a gollywog she chucks under
the chin and she whispers to it tenderly
Then
sticks it on a pin
And It might be coincidence, but a boy down
the lane, that she said
"went white as he could
do," then doubled over in p
