He fills you with the spirits
and I don't mean alcohol
Here he comes
He fills you with the spirits
and I don't mean alcohol, no
The boogie man will getcha'
He comes to get us all
(the boogie)
Man! (the boogie) Man!
The Boogie Man!
Keep a sharper eye on him
Ya hear his haunting voice
A shriek inside a whisper
Ya can't control your body
He's cast the Come Hither
(the boogie)
Man! (the boogie) Man!
The Boogie Man!
Keep a sharper eye on him
The wonder in your eyes
The shaking of your hands
No force on earth can stop him
'Cause he's the boogie man

Man! (the boogie) Man!
The Boogie Man!
Keep a sharper eye on him
I see you playin' right into his hand
So keep a sharper eye on him
The boogie ma-a-a-an
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
He fills you with the spirits
And I don't mean alcohol
The boogieman will get ya
He comes to get us all!!!

Take arms and fight the boogie man, you cannot win
Do battle with the king of nightmare land
The king of nightmare land
The ghost of what has been
