The Boogie Man Lyrics

[Verse One]
Here comes The Boogie Man
Here comes The Boogie Man
Here comes The Boogie Man
Run as fast as you can
It's The Boogie Man

[Verse Two]
I passed by the graveyard last night, now (last night now!)
Three bodies lay side by side (by side)
Two bodies just seem to lay there (just lay there)
But this other body started to rise!

[Verse Three]
You better get back, back in there, hey!
Don't move another brother
And please don't wake your brothers
You get up at night, makin' weird sounds
Soon you're gonna make this a real ghost town

[Verse Four]
Well, listen here my friends
I'll never go that way again
If you hear weird sounds
You better look all around
Here comes The Boogie Man (Wooo!)
[Outro]

[Devil]
Hello Speedo

[Speedo]
How ya doin' Mr. Devil?
...Woah Mr. Devil! It's awful hot down there!
May I please.. have.. a glass.. of ice water
Is that on your menu? phew
It's awful hot, Mr. Devil

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
