Danny Elfman - Oogie Boogie's Song lyrics
Oogie Boogie's Song
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
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 knoe 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 shakin'
Then something's very wrong
'Cause this may be the last time now
That you hear the boogie song, ohhh
THREE BATS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Ohhh
SEVEN LIZARDS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Ohhh
SEVEN LIZARDS
Ohhh, he's the Oogie Boogie Man
OOGIE BOOGIE
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 one thing
That would make it work so nice?
A roly-poly Sandy Claws to add a little spice
THREE SKELTONS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Oh, yeah
THREE BATS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Ohhh
THREE BATS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE & 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 expexting 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
Oh, the sound of rollin' dice
To me is music in the aor
'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'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
