Headless Horseman

"Headless Horseman" is a villain song sung by Brom Bones from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.

Lyrics
(Speech in rhyme) Brom: Just gather 'round And I'll elucidate On what goes on outside when it gets late Long about midnight, The ghosts and banshees, They get together for their nightly jamboree There's things with horns and saucer eyes Some with fangs about this size

(Speech) Woman #1: Some are fat Woman #2: And some are thin Creepy Man: And some don't even wear their skin!

(Speech in rhyme) Brom: Oh, I'm telling you, brother, It's a frightful sight To see what goes on Halloween 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

Chorus: That's right, He's a fright on Halloween night

Brom: 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

Chorus: Beware, take care, he rides alone

Brom: And, there's no spook like the spook that's spurned Chorus: They don't like him, and he's really burned Brom: He swears to the longest day he's dead, All: He'll show them that he can get a head

Brom: 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 Hollow here

Women: Now, he likes them little, he likes them big Men: Parted in the middle, or a wig Chorus: Black or white, or even red Brom: The Headless Horseman needs a head

All: With a hip-hip and a clippety clop He's out looking for a top to chop Brom: So don't stop to figure out a plan

All: You can't reason with a headless man

(Speech in rhyme) Brom: Now, if you doubt this tale is so, I met that spook just a year ago Now, I didn't stop for a second look But made for the bridge that spans the brook For once you cross that bridge, my friends

Chorus: The ghost is through, his power ends.''

Brom: 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!

Women: With a hip-hip and a clippety clop Men: He's out looking for a head to swap All: So, don't try to figure out a plan, You can't reason with a HEADLESS MAN!!!!!!
