The Headless Horseman

Lyrics

[Intro] Now gather round while I elucidate On what goes on outside when it gets late Along about midnight, the ghosts and banshees Get together for their nightly jamboree There's those with horns and saucer eyes Some with fangs about this size Some short and fat Some tall and thin And some don't even bother to wear their skin I'm telling ya, brother, it's a frightful sight To see what goes on in the night [Verse 1] When the spooks have a midnight jamboree They break it up with fiendish glee Ghosts are bad, but the onе that's cursed Is the Headlеss Horseman, he's the worst When he goes a-joggin' 'cross the land Holdin' his noggin in his hand Demons take one look and groan And hit the road for parts unknown There's no rack like a spook who's spurned They don't like him, and he's really burned He swears to the longest day he's dead He'll show them that he can get a head [Verse 2] Oh close the windows And lock the doors Unless you're careful He'll get yours Don't think he'll hesitate a bit 'Cause he'll trim your top if it'll fit And he likes them little, he likes them big Part in the middle, or a wig Black or white or even red The Headless Horseman needs a head With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop He's out lookin' for a head to chop So don't stop to figure out a plan You can't reason with a headless man
