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
Cuz I'm the Boogie Man
And if you aren't shakin
Then something's very wrong
Cuz 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 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 air
Cuz 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
Cuz I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie
And you ain't going nowhere
