Låttexter: Danny Elfman. Oogie Boogie's Song.
Well, well, well, what have we here?
Santa Claus, huh?
Ooh, 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
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 you hear the Boogie song
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh it'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 you know one thing, that would make it work so nice?
A roly-poly Santa Claus to add a little spice
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Yeah I'm 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
Well, 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 old boy, now that'd be just fine
Release me fast or you will have to
Answer for this heinous act
Oh God, 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
Santa Claus, huh?
Ooh, 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
