Oh, I'm really scared So you're the one everybody's talkin' about, ha, ha You're jokin', you're jokin' I can't believe my eyes You're jokin me, you gotta be This can't be the right guy He's ancient, he's ugly I don't knoe which is worse I might just split a seam now If I don't die laughing first When Mr. Oogie Boogie says There's trouble close at hand You'd better pay attention now 'Cause I'm the Boogie Man And if you aren't shakin' Then something's very wrong 'Cause this may be the last time now That you hear the boogie song, ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh, he's the Oogie Boogie Man Well if I'm feelin' antsy And there's nothin' much to do I might just cook a special batch Of snake and spider stew And don't ya know one thing That would make it work so nice? A roly-poly Sandy Claws to add a little spice Ohhh Oh, yeah Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Oh, yeah, I'm/he's the Oogie Boogie Man Release me now Or you must face the dire consequences The children are expecting me So please come, to your senses You're jokin', you're jokin' I can't believe my ears Would someone shut this fella up I'm drownin' in my tears It's funny, I'm laughing You really are too much And now, with your permission I'm going to do my stuff What are you going to do? I'm gonna do the best I can Oh, the sound of rollin' dice To me is music in the aor 'Cause I'm a gamblin' Boogie Man Although I don't play fair It's much more fun, I must confess When lives are on the line Not mine, of course, but yours, old boy Now that'd be just fine Release me fast or you will have to Answer for this heinous act Oh, brother, you're something You put me in a spin You aren't comprehending The position That you're in It's hopeless, you're finished You haven't got a prayer 'Cause I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie And you ain't going nowhere
