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]
