Lyrics

Intro

Ooh

Ooh-ooh

Mm-hmm

(Here he comes)

Verse 1

Mama told me lock the window tight

I said Mama there ain't nothing out tonight

Then the floor began to creak and sway

Something told me I should run away

I heard a rhythm underneath my bed

A little voice kept knocking in my head

Pre-Chorus

Creeping down the hall

Tapping on the wall

Something I can't see

Coming after me

Chorus

It's the boogie man

(It's the boogie man)

He's knocking at your door

It's the boogie man

(It's the boogie man)

He wants a little more

Hide under the covers if you can

You can't escape the boogie man

Verse 2

Sister said she saw him in the mirror

Her reflection started creeping nearer

Candles flickered as the organ played

Every shadow leaned and misbehaved

I grabbed her hand and we began to glide

Nowhere left for two scared kids to hide

Pre-Chorus

Dancing through the gloom

Spinning round the room

Footsteps soft and slow

Nowhere left to go

Chorus

It's the boogie man

(It's the boogie man)

He's knocking at your door

It's the boogie man

(It's the boogie man)

He wants a little more

Hide under the covers if you can

You can't escape the boogie man

Bridge

Ooh he's got a funny way of moving

Grooving like a ghost across the room

Shaking shaking shaking till the morning

Chasing chasing chasing through the gloom

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Grandpa swore he met him way back when

Said the boogie man was just a lonely friend

Waiting by the stairs for someone new

Hoping that somebody might come through

So we turned the music up and let him in

Now the haunted house is where we've always been

Chorus

It's the boogie man

(It's the boogie man)

He's knocking at your door

It's the boogie man

(It's the boogie man)

He wants a little more

Hide under the covers if you can

You can't escape the boogie man

Drop

Boogie boogie boogie man

Boogie boogie boogie man

Chorus

It's the boogie man

(It's the boogie man)

He's dancing on the floor

It's the boogie man

(It's the boogie man)

He's coming back for more

Turn the lights down low and take his hand

Everybody dance with the boogie man

Post-Chorus

Ooh

Boogie man

Ooh

Boogie man
