[edit] Lyrics
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble
Something wicked this way comes
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing -
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble
Something wicked this way comes
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Fillet of a fenny snake,
Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
Witches' mummy; maw and gulf
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Something wicked this way comes !
Sung in each rhythm
( Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.)

- Something Wicked This Way Comes comes from a line said in Macbeth. The phrase was also used as the title for a well-known Ray Bradbury novel.
- The lyrics are taken from the scene in William Shakespeare's Macbeth in which the Witches are around the cauldron. One of the witches also says the phrase, "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes."
