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 hooves

I ain't scared, live my life alright
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 hand
But I'm scared of the boogeyman

You can't boogie with the boogeyman
Can't boogie with the boogeyman
Can't boogie with the boogeyman
Can't boogie with the boogeyman
Hold out any way you can
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
Riding shotgun in your new Trans Am
Slide over for the boogeyman
You can't boogie with the boogeyman
Can't boogie with the boogeyman
Can't boogie with the boogeyman
Can't boogie with the boogeyman
Hold out any way you can
But don't mess with the boogeyman

You can't boogie with the boogeyman
Can't boogie with the boogeyman
Can't boogie with the boogeyman
Can't boogie with the boogeyman
Hold out any way you can
But don't mess with the boogeyman
