Walkin' through the town in a fancy learned way,
Talk is goin' 'round and now we're bettin' you don't 
stay
The Horseman's out for glory and your head you cannot 
keep
If you don't believe the stories when the Hollow is 
asleep
Such a tasty morsel but you cannot have her yet
Don't act in haste, of course, because she's someone 
else's pet
Teacher I beseech you now to try to keep your head
And don't tumble with van Tassel in a fluffy feather 
bed
Oh, Ichabod Crane, don't go ridin' tonight
There's a bright bloody stainin' on the pale moonlight
Bullfrog cryin' out a wicked refrain
Are you listenin' to him singin' "Ichabod Crane"
The Horseman rides a stallion that's as black as 
winter's night
Courses through the valley in attempt to give us fright
If you think of midnight strollin', better think upon 
it twice
'cause your head will go a-rollin' just as smooth as 
loaded dice
Oh, Ichabod Crane, don't go ridin' tonight
There's a bright bloody stainin' on the pale moonlight
Bullfrog cryin' out a wicked refrain
Are you listenin' to him singin' "Ichabod Crane"
Now don't you be forgettin' that they say he cannot 
fail
Not a soul has met him and has lived to tell the tale
He'll decapitate you quick and dead and never show 
remorse
And he'll gather up your severed head and feed it to 
his horse
Oh, Ichabod Crane, don't go ridin' tonight
There's a bright bloody stainin' on the pale moonlight
Bullfrog cryin' out a wicked refrain
Are you listenin' to him singin' "Ichabod Crane"
So if you're out at evening and you see a head of flame
Too late to start believing, you have just yourself to 
blame
Your safety lies within a chance that only happens when
You hastily cross the covered bridge and not return 
again
Oh, Ichabod Crane, don't go ridin' tonight
There's a bright bloody stainin' on the pale moonlight
Bullfrog cryin' out a wicked refrain
Are you listenin' to him singin' "Ichabod Crane"
Oh, Ichabod Crane, don't go ridin' tonight
There's a bright bloody stainin' on the pale moonlight
Bullfrog cryin' out a wicked refrain
Are you listenin' to him singin' "Ichabod, Ichabod, 
Ichabod Crane"
"Ichabod Crane!"
