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 joking, you're joking

I can't believe my eyes

You're joking 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 shaking

There's something very wrong

'Cause this may be the last time you hear the Boogie song, oh (wow)

Oh (wow)

Oh (oh, he's the Oogie Boogie Man)

Well, if I'm feelin' ansty

And I've nothin' much to do

I might just cook a special batch

Of snake and spider stew

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)

Oh (oh)

Oh (oh)

Oh yeah, I'm the Boogie Man (oh yeah, he's the 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 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 going to do the best I can

Oh, the sound of rolling 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, oh boy

Now that'd be just fine

Release me fast, or you'll 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 prayer

'Cause I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie

And you ain't going nowhere
