Oogie Boogie's Song Songtext

von Tim Burton

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, 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
Lf 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 now you hear
The boogie song, ohhh
THREE BATS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Ohhh
SEVEN LIZARDS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Ohhh
SEVEN LIZRDS
Ohhh, i'm the Oogie Boogie Man
OOGIEBOOGIE
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
THREE SKELETONS
Ohhh
OOGIEBOOGIE
Oh,yeah
THREE BATS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Ohhh
THREE BATS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE AND 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 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 gonna 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, oldboy
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
