Desmond and the Tutus - Boogie Man Lyrics

(Breathe, live, breathe)

(Darlene told me this afternoon that some intruders have been spotted)
(Intruders?)

Deep in the jungle lives a
Crazy old man with a
Beard made of trouble and crayfish for hands
He camps in the bushes, all he's
Got is a walkman
If he spots a hiking group
Well, he's gonna stalk them

Now no-one's ever seen him, no-one knows where he comes from
He's right behind you but when you turn around he's gone
When you
Least expect it
When the night goes black
You'll hear a voice rumble from inside your own backpack

Booga-booga-booga-booga
Booga-booga-booga-booga
Booga-booga-booga-booga
Well, I'm the boogieman

He lives inside your cupboard with your boxers and school shoes
He doesn't have a name, he doesn't leave any clues
Oh, a boogie's got the beat
Oh yes, he rip it out your heart
He's got your number too, he wrote it down in the dark

Well, he's an evil old thing but he sure knows how to move
He's only got three teeth but
Nothing left to prove
He's underneath your mattress
Try not to be scared
A blink and open up your eyes
Man he's inside your bed

A-booga-booga-booga-booga
A-booga-booga-booga-booga
Booga-booga-booga-booga
Well, I'm the boogieman

(Sit down, I want to talk to you)
(I know that you've been under a strain for a long time)
(I know that you don't understand or appreciate my work)
(But if we do have visitors you mustn't let them know that we have problems)
(After all, what goes on here is my business and your business)
(Do we understand each other?)
(Yes)
(Good)
