Oogie Boogie's Song (from The Nightmare Before Christmas)

When Mister Oogie Boogie says there's trouble close at hand,

you'd better pay attention now 'cause (B)I'm the Boogie (Em)Man.

And (Am)if you aren't shakin', there's (Em)something very wrong.

'Cause this may be the last time you (B)hear the Boogie (Em)song.

Oh, oh, oh,

I'm the (B)Oogie Boogie (Em)Man!

Well, if I'm feeling antsy and I've nothin' much to do,

I might just cook a special batch of (B)snake and spider (Em)stew.

And (Am)don't ya know the one thing would (Em)make it work so nice?

A rolypoly Sandy to (B)add a little (Em)spice.

Oh, oh, oh,

I'm the (B)Oogie Boogie (Em)Man!

Well, I'm the (B)Oogie Boogie (Em)Man!

Release me now or you must face the dire (B)consequences.

The (Em)children are expecting me, so (B7)please come to your senses.

You're (Am)jokin'!

You're jokin'!

I can't (Dm)believe my (E)ears!

Would (Am)someone shut this fella up?

I'm (F)drownin' in my (E)tears.

It's (Dm)funny.

I'm laughin'.

You (G#dim)really are too (A7)much.

And (Gm)now, with your permission, I'm (Eb)going to do my (D)stuff.

The (Am)sound of rolling dice to me is (F7)music in the air,

'cause (Am)I'm a gambling Boogie Man,

(F7)although I (E7)don't play (Am)fair.

It's (Dm)much more fun, I must confess,

with (Am)lives on the line.

Not mine, of course, but yours,

old boy.

that just (Dm)Release me fast or you will have to answer for this heinous act.

Oh, (Em)brother, you're somethin'.

You (Am)put me in a (B)spin.

You (Em)aren't comprehendin' the (Am)position that you're (B)in.

It's (Am)hopeless!

You're finished!

You (Fm)haven't got a (Em)prayer, 'cause I'm (Am)Mister Oogie Boogie,

and you (D#dim7)ain't (E7)goin' (Am)nowhere!
