The Headless Horseman

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 jamborees

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
When I'm telling you brother, it's a frightful sight
To see what goes on in the night

When the ghosts have a midnight jamboree
They break it up with a fiendish glee
Spooks are bad, but the one that's cursed
Is the headless horseman, he's the worst

When he goes a-joggin' across the land
Holdin' his noggin in his hand
The demons take one look and groan
And hit the road for parts unknown

There's no wraith like a spook that's spurned
They don't like him and he's really burned
Swear through the longest day he's dead
Yeah, he'll show them that he can, get ahead

The headless horseman needs a head
The headless horseman needs a head

So close all the windows, lock the doors
Unless you're careful, he'll get yours
But don't think he'll hesitate a bit
'Cause he'll tip your top if it'll fit
And he likes 'em little, likes 'em big
Part in the middle, or a wig
Black or white or even red
The headless horseman needs a head

The headless horseman needs a head
The headless horseman needs a head

It's after midnight, so listen good
Better stay at home like you should
'Cause right outside and waiting there
Is the headless horseman
Beware!

With a hip-hip and a clipper clop
He's out lookin' for a head to chop
So don't stop to figure out a plan

You cannot reason with a headless man
