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 and things with cloven hoovesI ain't scared, live my life all right, I ain't scared to stand and fight
I ain't scared 'cause 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 boogeymanYou 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 boogeymanHe's hiding underneath your bed, he's hiding inside your head
He's hiding behind your eye, he'd be there until you die
Ridin' shotgun in your new transam, slide over for the boogeymanYou 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 boogeymanYou 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, hey
