You know everybody's scared,

Everybody better beware

Scared of spiders, scared of rats,

Scared of being crossed by cats

Scared of everything that moves,

Scared of things with cloven hooves



I ain't scared, live my life allright

I ain't scared, to stand and fight

I ain't scared, 'cos I believe

Ain't scared, to wear my heart on my sleeve

Ain't scared to show my hands

But I'm scared of the boogeyman



You can't boogie with the boogeyman,

You can't boogie with the boogeyman,

You can't boogie with the boogeyman,

You can't boogie with the boogeyman,

Hold out any way you can,

But don't mess with the boogeyman



He's hiding underneath your bed,

He's hiding inside your head

He's hiding behind your eye

He be there until you die

Ridin' shotgun in your new transam

Slide over for the boogeyman



[Chorus twice]
