Now gather round while I elucidate
On what happens outside when it gets late
Along about midnight, the ghosts and banshees
Get together for their nightly jamboree
There's ghosts with horns and saucer eyes
And 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
Oh, when the spooks have a midnight jamboree
They break it up with fiendish glee
Ghosts are bad, but the onะต that's cursed
Is the Headlะตss 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 that's spurned
They don't like him, and he's really burned
Swears to the longest day he's dead
He'll show them that he can get a head
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 'em little, he likes 'em 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
