Johnny and Gretchen

[Intro]
Johnny and Gretchen were lost in the wood,  
The night was so bitter, no light where they stood.  
They came to a cottage of gingerbread sweet —  
Who lived in that house on the lonely dark street?

[Angry Verse]  
*"Nibble, nibble, little mouse —  
Who is nibbling at my house?"*  

[Children’s Chorus]  
*"The wind, the wind,  
The heavenly child."*

Hoo-hoo! An old witch was peering outside!  
She tempted the children to come in and hide.  
She acted so kindly — oh Johnny, beware!  
She wanted to roast him like bread in her lair!

[Angry Verse]  
*"Nibble, nibble, little mouse —  
Who is nibbling at my house?"*  

[Children’s Chorus]  
*"The wind, the wind,  
The heavenly child."*

But when the witch leaned in to see the heat,  
Brave little Gretchen pushed her off her feet.  
The witch had to roast, and the children went home —  
And so ends their tale in the dark forest’s gloam.

[Angry Verse]  
*"Nibble, nibble, little mouse —  
Who is nibbling at my house?"* 

[Children’s Chorus]  
*"The wind, the wind,  
The heavenly child."*
