Callin' of the Boogah Man

[Intro]
The Boogah Man
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Callin’ of the Boogah Man.

The Boogah man will get 'cha if you don't watch out!

[Verse 1]
When the evening shadows
come a-gliding down,
Falling black and heavy
Over hill and town,
If you listen careful,
Careful as you can,
So's you bound to notice...

shhhh...

silence...

There's a dropping pin.

Then you'll hear a funny,
Sound across the land;

Woo-oo, woo-oo!

Lay low...

That's the calling...
of the Boogah Man!

[Chorus]
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hear him as he go along the way;
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Don't you wish the night would turn to day?
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hide your eyes behind your hands;
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Callin’ of the Boogah Man

[Verse 2]
When the wind's a shivering
through the gloomy lane,
and there comes a pattering
of the evening rain,
When the owl's a hooting
out there in the woods,
Don't you wish, my honey,
that you had been good?
There ain't no use to try to
Snuggle up, 
Hide!
if you can...

Woo-oo, woo-oo!

Bless you...

that's the calling...
of the Boogah Man.

[Chorus]
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hear him as he go along the way;
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Don't you wish the night would turn to day?
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hide your eyes behind your hands;
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Callin’ of the Boogah Man

[Someone Shouts]
Uh Oh, It's the Boogah Man!
Everybody Run!

[Bridge - Boogah Man Rap]
I'm the Boogah Man and I'm goin' to get cha'
No use in hidin' 'cause I'm always wit' cha',
I know where you live, I know where you are,
'Cause you opened a door, and you can't run far,
I see your secrets, I know your despair,
I lurk in shadows, I ride the night air,
Just look in a mirror, and then you'll see me.
Cause you've been bad...
and that set me free.

[Verse 3]
If you loves your mom,
and you minds your dad,
if you try to be,
more good than bad,
if you say your prayers,
every single night,
Before you tucks the covers
and puts out the light,
Then the rain can patter,
Wind blow like a fan,
But you need not bother,
about the Boogah Man!

[Chorus]
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hear him as he go along the way;
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Don't you wish the night would turn to day?
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Hide your eyes behind your hands;
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Callin’ of the Boogah Man

[Outro]
Woo-oo, woo-oo!
Callin’ of de Boogah Man.
The Boogah man will get 'cha if you don't watch out!
...

Boogah!
