Lyrics
Oogie Boogie: Well, well, well, what have we here Sandy Claws, huh Ooh, I'm really scared So you're the one everybody's talkin' about Ha, ha, 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' There's something very wrong Cause this may be the last time You hear the Boogie Song

Ohhh

Skeletons: Ohhh

Oogie Boogie: Ohhh

Skeletons: Ohhh

Oogie Boogie: Ohhh

Bats: Ohhh

Oogie Boogie and Chorus: I'm (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 the one thing That would make it work so nice A roly-poly Sandy Claws To add a little spice

Chorus: Ohhh

Oogie Boogie: Ohhh

Chorus: Ohhh

Oogie Boogie: Ohhh

Chorus: Ohhh

Oogie Boogie: Oh, yeah

Oogie Boogie and Chorus: I'm (he's) the Oogie 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 course but 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 somethin' 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 goin' nowhere
