Well, well, well. What have we here? / Sandy Claws, huh? Ooooh, 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 laughin’ first! / Mister 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 somethin’ very wrong, / ‘Cause this may be the last time you hear the Boogie Song!
