The Headless Horseman Of Sleepy Hollow
Bing Crosby
[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] And there’s no spook 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 3] They say he’s tired of his flamin’ top He’s got a yen to make a swap So he rides one night each year To find a head in the hollow here [Verse 4] Now he likes them little he likes them big Parted in the middle or with a a wig Black or white or even red The Headless Horseman needs a head [Chorus 2] With a hey-hey 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 [Verse 5] So when you’re riding home tonight Make for the bridge with all your might He’ll be down in the hollow there He needs your head look out beware [Chorus 2] With a hey-hey 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
