[Townspeople and Narrator:]
Who's that coming down the street?
Are they shovels or are they feet?
Lean and lanky, skin and bone
With clothes a scarecrow would hate to own

[Narrator:]
Yet he has a certain air

[Townspeople:]
Debonair and devil-may-care

[Woman #1:]
It's the new school-master

[Woman #2:]
What's his name?

[Ichabod:]
Ichabod
Ichabod Crane

[Townspeople:]
Ichabod, what a name
Kind of odd but nice just the same
Funny pan, funny frame
Ichabod, Ichabod Crane
[Narrator:]
Ichabod may be quaint
May be odd and maybe he ain't
Anyway there's no complaint
From Ichabod, Ichabod Crane

[Narrator:]
(spoken)
And so the arrival of the pedagogue gave rise to mixed emotions. The townspeople all agreed they've never seen anyone-

[Narrator and Chorus:]
(sung)
-Like Ichabod, Ichabod Crane

"REPRISE"

[Narrator:]
Who's the town ladies-man?

[Narrator and Chorus:]
Gets around like nobody can?

[Narrator:]
Has to be none other than-

[Narrator and Chorus:]
-Ichabod, Ichabod Crane
