Lyrics
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 know 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 there's something very wrong 'Cause this may be the last time 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' ansty 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 so nice? A roly-poly Sandy Claws to add a little spice.

Three Skeletons: Ohhh

Oogie Boogie: Oh yeah

Three Bats: Ohhh

Oogie Boogie: Ohhh

Three Bats: Ohhh

Oogie Boogie and Three Skeletons: Oh yeah, I'm (he's) the 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 going to 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 coursebut yours, old boy Now that'd be just fine.

Santa: Release me fast or you'll 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 prayer 'Cause I;m Mr. Oogie Boogie And you ain't goin' nowhere
