Well, well, well, what have we here?
So you're the one everybody's talkin' about, ha, ha
You're jokin', you're jokin'
You're jokin' me, you gotta be
This can't be the right guy
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 now
That you hear the boogie song, ohh
Ohh, 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
And don't ya know the one thing
That would make it work so nice?
A roly-poly Sandy Claws to add a little spice
Oh, yeah, I'm (he's) the Oogie Boogie Man
Or you must face the dire consequences
The children are expecting me
So please, come to your senses
You're jokin', you're jokin'
Would someone shut this fella up
And now, with your permission
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 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
Release me fast or you will have to
Answer for this heinous act
Oh, brother, you're something
The position that you're in
It's hopeless, you're finished
'Cause I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie
And you ain't going nowhere
