The Headless Horseman

Now, gather 'round while I elucidate On what happens outside when it gets late 'Long 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 I'm tellin' you brother, it's a frightful sight To see what goes on in the night When the spooks have a midnight jamboree They break it up with fiendish glee Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed Is the Headless Horseman, he's the worst When he goes a-joggin' 'cross the land Holdin' a noggin in his hand Demons take one look and groan And hit the road for parts unknown And there's no wraith like a spook that'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 So close all the windows, lock the doors Unless you're careful, he'll get yours Don't think he'll hesitate a bit 'Cause he'll flip 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 With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop He's out lookin' for a top to chop So don't stop to figure out a plan You can't reason with a headless man So after dark, you kids be good Stay at home, the way that you should 'Cause right outside, and waitin' there Is the Headless horseman Beware! And I'm gettin' out of here
