Well, well, well, what have we here?

Sandy Claws huh?

Ooh, I'm really scared!

So you're the one everybody's talkin' about

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 know 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 there's something very wrong

'Cause this may be the last time you hear the Boogie song

Ohhh.

Ohhh

Ohhh

He's the Oogie Boogie Man

Well if I'm feelin' ansty

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 so nice?

A roly-poly Sandy Claws to add a little spice.

Ohhh

Ohhh

Yeah

I'm the Oogie Boogie Man

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 am I gonna do? I'm going to do the best I can

Oh the sound of rollin' dice

To me is music in the air

'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.

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 prayer

'Cause I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie

And you ain't goin' nowhere
