Oogie Boogie's Song (From “The Nightmare Before Christmas”)

Oogie Boogie's Song (From “The Nightmare Before Christmas”) - Ed Ivory/Ken Page

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

Ohhh

Ohhh

Ohhh

Ohhh

Ohhh 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

Ohhh

Oh yeah

Ohhh

Ohhh

Ohhh

Oh yeah I'm (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 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 oldboy

Now that'd 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
