Lyrics

Vondervotteimittiss
Obsessed with clocks and cabbages
Sixty little houses, circular row
Backs to the hills

Creatures obsessed with time
Waiting for the twelve times chime
Unremarkable daily life
Never alter the course of things

There's a strange man over the hills
With a long hooked nose
Grinning ear to ear
Appearance of the sinister kind

Scoundrelly fandango
Fiddle in his hand
Mustachio Whisker
Satan in this land

Devil in the belfry
Thirteen strikes
Ringing his hellish bell
The balance of the sheep
Smoked out screams

Thirteen o'clock, devil in the belfry
Petticoats in fits of rage
The bell-rope jerking in his teeth
Strike of the beast

Fiddle in his hand
Disrupting the peace
Squeaking screeching
Broken harmony
Glimpse of the scoundrel
Through the smoke
Sitting on bellies of the dead

Thirteen o'clock, devil at hand
Brimstone and bell, raging the lands
The bell-rope jerking in his teeth
Devil in the belfry

Devil in the belfry
Thirteen times
The bell-rope jerking in his teeth
Strike of the beast

Devil in the belfry
Thirteen times
The bell-rope jerking in his teeth
Strike of the beast
