Oogie Boogie's Song Lyrics - Singles - Burton Tim

Performed by Ken Page with Ed lvory 

OOGIE BOOGIE 

Well, well, well, what have we here? 

Sandy Claws, huh? 

Oh, I'm really scared 

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

ha, ha, ha, ha 

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 

lf 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 you hear 

the boogie song, ohhh 

THREE BATS 

Ohhh 

OOGIE BOOGIE 

Ohhh 

SEVEN LIZARDS 

Ohhh 

OOGIE BOOGIE 

Ohhh 

SEVEN LIZRDS 

Ohhh, he's the Oogie Boogie Man 

OOGIEBOOGIE 

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 

THREE SKELETONS 

Ohhh 

OOGIEBOOGIE 

Oh,yeah 

THREE BATS 

Ohhh 

OOGIE BOOGIE 

Ohhh 

THREE BATS 

Ohhh 

OOGIE BOOGIE AND THREE SKELETONS 

Oh, yeah, I'm (he's) the Oogie Boogie Man 

SANTA 

Release me now 

Or you must face the dire consequences 

The children are expecting me 

So please, come to your senses 

OOGIE BOOGIE 

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 

SANTA 

What are you going to do? 

OOGIE BOOGIE 

I'm gonna do the best I can 

(Musical interlude) 

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, oldboy 

Now that'd be just fine 

SANTA 

Release me fast or you will have to 

Answer for this heinous act 

OOGIE BOOGIE 

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
