[A] [Bb] [A]
[Bbm] [B] Now gather round while I [A] elucidate On [Bbm] what goes [D] on when it gets late
Along about midnight the ghosts and banshees [A] Get together for a jamboree
There's [E] ghosts with horns and saucer eyes [Bb] Some have [E] fangs about this size
Some [F] short and fat, some tall and thin And some [Gm] don't even bother to wear their skin
I'm a [E]-tellin' you brother it's a fearful sight [D] Just to see [Em] what goes [E] on in [D] the night
[F] When the spooks [G] have a midnight [B] jamboree They break it up with [E] a fiendish glee
Ghosts are bad but [B] the one that's cursed Is the headless horseman, he's the [E] worst
When he goes [Bb] joggin' across the [Dm] land Holding his [E] noggin right in his hand
Demons take [D] one look and [Db] groan And they hit the road for parts unknown
[D] Well there's no [G] rage like a spook that's burned The ghost's done like a man he's really burned
He swears [Bbm] to the [G] longest day [Gm] he's [Bb] dead Well I'll show them [A] that I can get ahead
[Bb]
[E] So close [G] all the [Bb] windows, lock all [B] the doors Unless you're careful [C] why he'll get yours
Don't think he'll [Em] hesitate a bit, cause He'll [D] clip your top if [F] it will fit
He likes them [D] little, he [Bbm] likes them [Dm] big Part him in the [E] middle or wear a wig
Black or [A] white or even red [Bb] The headless [F] horseman needs a head
With a hip, hip, hip [G] and a clippity-clop
Why he's out looking for a head to chop So don't stop to figure out a plan
Cause [Bb] you can't reason with a [D] headless man With a hip, hip, hop and a [E] clippity [Dm]-clop Look out!
[C] [A] We know what we're talking about, believe [Dm] me
You [E] better watch your cues, but take [Em] a look [E] At the people [Bb] who ignored the old good book
Change your ways, you'll find it pays [A] Cause you can't be a haint if you ain't
[E] Kind of crazed I guess you'd say [Gm] Take our [Bb] word, we know what we're talking about
[E] Now this is a pretty spooky thing we're doing here
You don't [Bbm] mind if I turn on another light, do you?
