I'm not sure this is finished but the time is up. Maybe I'll come back to it another day. A Bruja (Brew-ha) is a Witch in Spanish. It's been such fun joining this international dance group. Ours is the only one registered in Mexico, but it's an international phenomenon, started in Germany and spread through a viral internet posting a number of years ago. Now you see it especially around Halloween/Samhain, and in the Spring when they Dance for Peace.
Lyrics
V1 I'm wearing a hat, It's pointed, tall and black, With flowers red and purple, And a net veil down the back.
V2 I'm wearing a dress, Long and deep blood red, A purple cincher round the waist, Looking quite well bred!
Ch. When I was in Salem I joined the witches tea, Now that I'm in Mexico It's the Bruja's Dance for me
V3 The crowds gather around us, Photos please, they ask, We huddle close and Cackle, Then we begin to dance.
V4 We may not be a coven, It's lots of smiles we're makin', With Candy in our cauldrons We sure can Shake our Bacon!
Ch. When I was in Salem I joined the witches tea, Now that I'm in Mexico It's the Bruja's Dance for me The Wolfshäger Hexenbrut Witches Dance for me!
Grab your brooms! And, I'm wearing a hat!!
Love this! When I lived in Boston, I took a side trip to Salem one day just to get all the good witchy vibes. The dance group sounds like a lot of fun. Shakin' your bacon made me laugh. Nice take on the prompt!
