Pick a pot tree.
[F] I'll pick a pot tree.
[Db] Ha ha ha ha [C] ha!
[C] Now gather around while I elucidate on what happens outside when it gets late.
Along about midnight the ghosts and banshees get together for their nightly [F] jamborees.
There's ghosts with horns and saucer eyes, and some with fangs [Db] about this size,
some [Bb] short and fat, some tall and thin, and some don't even bother to wear their [C] skin.
I'm telling you, brother, it's a frightful sight to see what goes on in the night.
[F]
When spooks have a midnight jamboree, they break it up [Bbm] with fiendish glee.
Ghosts are bad, [Fm] but the one that's cursed [C] is the headless horseman.
He's the worst.
When he goes a-jocking across the land, holding his [Bbm] noggin in his hand,
demons take [Fm] one look and groan and hit the road for [Eb] parts unknown.
There's [Ab] no rat like Spook that's [D] spurned.
They don't [Bbm] like him and he's really burned.
[Fm] Swear it's true, the longest day he's dead.
He'll show them that he can [Eb] get ahead.
[F]
[D] Oh, close all the windows and lock the doors.
[Fm] Unless you're careful, [Bbm] he'll get yours.
Don't think he'll hesitate a bit, cause [C] he'll flip your top if it'll fit.
And he likes them little, like some big, part in the middle [Bbm] or a wig.
Black or white or even [G] red, the headless horseman needs a head.
With [Fm] a hip, hip, and clippity-clop, he's [Bbm] out looking for a head to chop.
[Ab] So don't stop to figure out a plan.
[G] You can't [D] reason with a [Bb] [Cm]
headless [Fm] man.
[F] I'll pick a pot tree.
