Well, well, well, what have we here?
Sandy Claws, huh?, oh, 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

It's still your Boogie says there's trouble close at hand
You'd better pay attention now 'cause I am the Boogie Man
And if you aren't shakin' then there's something very wrong
'Cause this may be the last time now you hear the boogie song

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 the one thing that would make it work so nice?
A roly-poly Sandy Claws to add a little spice

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 gonna 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 now that's 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
