Oogie Boogie's Song [Nightmare Before Christmas] Lydia Faulkner | Vocal Cover

LOVED DOING THIS!

I've wanted to do a female cover of this for a long time. My intention was to sound rather flirty and cheeky. Unfortunately my hay-fever has given me quite a sore throat, so that affected it a little. I shall definitely redo it for Halloween when my hay-fever has died down and my throat doesn't hurt so much.

Yes I also did Santa's voice- you can laugh if you like. 😂

LYRICS


Well, well, well, what have we here?
Sandy Claws, huh? Ooh, I'm really scared!
So you're the one everybody's talkin' about!
Ha, ha, ha, ha!

You're jokin', you're jokin'
I can't believe my eyes
You're jokin' me, you gotta be
This can't be the right guy.

He's ancient, he's ugly
I don't know which is worse
I might just split a seam now
If I don't die laughing first.

When Mistress, Oogie Boogie says
There's trouble close at hand
You'd better pay attention now
'Cause I'm the Boogie Man.

And if you aren't shakin'
There's something very wrong
'Cause this may be the last time
You hear the Boogie Song

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
I'm the Oogie Boogie Man

SANTA: Release me now or you must face
The dire consequences
The children are expecting me
So please, come to your senses

You're jokin', you're jokin'
I can't believe my ears
Would someone shut this fella up?
I'm drownin' in my tears.

It's funny, I'm laughing
You really are too much
And now, with your permission,
I'm going to do my stuff

SANTA: "What are you going to do?"

I'm going to do the best I can

Oh, the sound of rollin' dice
To me is music in the air
'Cause I'm a gamblin' Boogie Man
Although I don't play fair.

It's much more fun, I must confess
When lives are on the line
Not mine, of course but yours, old boy
Now that'd be just fine.

Release me fast or you'll have to answer for this heinous act!

Oh brother, you're somethin'
You put me in a spin
You aren't comprehending
The position that you're in

It's hopeless, you're finished
You haven't got a prayer
'Cause I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie
And you ain't goin' nowhere!
