Oogie Boogie's Song - Ed Ivory, Ken Page

Performed by Ken Page with Ed lvory

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
