1) The Monotones were a six-member Doo Wop band in the 1950s United States. They are considered a one-hit wonder, as their only song to reach widespread popularity was the doo-wop hit "(Who Wrote) The Book of Love", which peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958.
The Monotones formed in 1955 when the seven original singers — all residents of the same housing project in Newark, New Jersey — began performing covers of popular doo-wop songs. The members of the Monotones were lead singer Charles Patrick, first tenor Warren Davis, second tenor George Malone, bass singer John Smith, second bass singer John Ryanes, and his brother, baritone Warren Ryanes. Charles Patrick's brother James was originally a member, but he left soon after the group's formation. In 1957 the group recorded their first song, "Book of Love". The song was released in 1958 and propelled the group to short-lived fame. Later releases never gained popularity. The Monotones disbanded in 1962. Surviving members have met to revive "Book of Love" several times since the breakup.
Don McLean, in his 1971 song "American Pie", made reference to "The Book of Love" as a symbol of the innocence of 1950s rock 'n' roll culture.
2) The Monotones were a Dutch band, who had a novelty hit with their song "Mono" in 1980. The Monotones were a side-project of another Dutch novelty act: Rubberen Robbie.
3) The Monotones are also a alt/indie band from the Midlands, UK.
4) The Monotones were a 1960s garage rock band from Southend-on Sea in Essex, UK.
All of these are not to be confused with the group Little Jerry and the Monotones.

I tried my best with the lyrics
Eek ah sis boom bah the legend of sleepy hollows.
Eek ah sis boom bah the legend of sleepy hollows
Once upon a time there was a token man
His name was ichabod crane
He said brother look out you better let me be
For the headless hoarseman jabbed at me
Eek ah sis boom bah the legend of sleepy hollows
Eek ah sis boom bah the legend of sleepy hollows
Watch out ichabod is your blood really red if you want to find out
slow down man youll lose your head
He rhode through the land with his head in his hand
What a terrible man was he
He said oh dear me as i helded to see
The legend of sleep hollows
Watch out ichabod is your blood really red if you want to find out
Slow down man youll lose your head
He rhode through the land with his head in his hand
What a terrible man was he
He said oh dear me as i helded to see
The legend of sleepy hollows
He rhode through the land with his head in his hand
What a terrible man was he
He said oh dear me as i helded to see
The legend of sleepy hollows
Be wary tonight you dont know where he'll be at
The legend of sleepy hollows
If your not carefull he'll have your head
The legend of sleepy hollows
The legend of sleepy hollows.

It's hard to understand some of the lyrics, but here it goes...
Ee, Ah, Sis Boom Bop goes the legend of Sleepy Hollow (2x)
Once upon a time, there was a tall, thin man (His name was Incabod Crane)
He said "Buzzard, look out, you better let me be" (for the headless horseman's after me)
Ee, Ah, Sis Boom Bop goes the legend of Sleepy Hollow (2x)
Watch out, Incabod, is your blood really red?
If you want to find out (slow down and you'll lose your head)
He rode through the land with his head in his hands (what a daring young man was he!)
(????) as I'm headless, you see? (goes the legend of Sleepy Hollow)
"Beware" - he said - "be wary, beware!" (goes the legend of Sleepy Hollow)
He goes fast, and mean, but the ghoul can speed? (goes the legend of Sleepy Hollow)

I'll take a stab at it. I could not make out all of the words, as you'll notice, but I did my best.
eek, ahh, sis boom bop
oh, the legend of Sleepy Hollow !
eek, ahh, sis boom bop
oh, the legend of Sleepy Hollow !
once upon a time, there was a chosen man
his name was Ichabod Crane
he said, boys and gals, you better let me be
for the Headless Horseman's after me
eek, ahh, sis boom bop
oh, the legend of Sleepy Hollow !
eek, ahh, sis boom bop
oh, the legend of Sleepy Hollow !
watch out, Ichabod, is your gun really red ?
if you want to find out
slow down and you'll lose your head
he rode through the land with his head in his hand
what a terrible man was he
he said, oh dear me, (or possibly "he came over to me") as i headed to sea
oh, the legend of Sleepy Hollow !
watch out, Ichabod, is your gun really red ?
if you want to find out
slow down and you'll lose your head
he rode through the land with his head in his hand
what a terrible man was he
he said, oh dear me, as i headed to sea
oh, the legend of Sleepy Hollow !
he rode through the land with his head in his hand
what a terrible man was he
he said, oh dear me, as i headed to sea
oh, the legend of Sleepy Hollow !
beware, he said (incomprehensible)
oh, the legend of Sleepy Hollow !
(incomprehensible)
oh, the legend of Sleepy Hollow !
(some doo wop vocalizing)
oh, the legend of Sleepy Hollow !

Sleepy Hollow was a restaurant here in OKC for many many years. Now closed down. They served steak and chicken only with sides and no menu. It was located in the NE portion of OKC in a building surrounded by lots of trees. Everytime I hear the record I think of the restaurant. Larry

Great Lead by Charles Patrick, superb voice. Give "Forever Yours" a spin and the ethereal "Dream" by the Monotones - ultra fine harmony!
@BartShore00
Nice- a hit on WGH - In Newport News, Va the week of March 7, 1958
