Oogie Boogie's Song

Tim Burton Featuring Danny Elfman

[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
