verse
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 (oh, he's the Oogie Boogie Man)
verse
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 yeah, I'm the Boogie Man (oh yeah, he's the Boogie Man)
verse
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
verse
Release me fast, or you'll 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
