[Intro]
Well, well, well, what have we here?
Sandy Claws, huh?
Ooh, I'm really scared
So you're the one everybody's talking about
[Verse 1]
You're joking, you're joking
I can't believe my eyes
You're joking me, you've gotta be
This can't be the right guy
He's ancient, he's ugly
I don't know which is worse
I might just split a seam now
If I don't die laughing first
[Verse 2]
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 shaking
There's something very wrong
'Cause this may be the last time
You hear the Boogie Song
[Chorus]
Whoa (Whoa)
Whoa (Whoa)
Whoa (Whoa)
I'm the Oogie Boogie Man
[Verse 3]
Well, if I'm feeling antsy
And I've nothing much to do
I might just cook a special batch
Of snake and spider stew
And don't you know the one thing
That would make it work so nice?
A roly-poly Santa Claus to add a little spice
[Chorus]
Whoa (Whoa)
Oh (Whoa)
Yeah (Whoa)
I'm the Oogie Boogie Man
[Verse 4]
Release me now, or you must face
The dire consequences
The children are expecting me
So please, come to your senses
[Verse 5]
Ha! You're joking, you're joking
I can't believe my ears
Would someone shut this fella up?
I'm drowning 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
Well, what are you going to do?
I'm gonna do the best I can
[Verse 6]
Whoa, the sound of rolling dice
To me, is music in the air
'Cause I'm a gambling Boogie Man
Although I don't play fair
It's much more fun, I must confess
With lives on the line
Not mine, of course, but yours, old boy
Now that'd be just fine
[Verse 7]
Release me fast, or you will have to
Answer for this heinous act
[Verse 8]
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
