[Intro] Well, the moon is full... And the dead don't sleep... There's a dance tonight... Six feet deep! YEE-HAW! HA-HA-HAAAA! [Verse 1] In the haunted barn where the shadows twine, Skeletons groove to a swingin’ line. A banjo twang and a trumpet shine, We’re raisin’ bones, havin’ a time! [Pre-Chorus] Candles flicker, the floorboards creak, The fiddle screams and the floorboards squeak. Jack-o’-lanterns grin cheek to cheek, It’s Halloween night every week! [Chorus] It’s the Boot Scootin’ Boogieman! He’s got a hat and a master plan. Two-step ghost in the devil’s band, Swing your bones while you still can! BOO! BOO! BOOGIEMAN! Stomp those boots in the graveyard sand! BOO! BOO! BOOGIEMAN! Everybody dance with the dead man's band! [ HA! HA! HAAAA!] [Verse 2] There's a witch on the roof with a crooked grin, A zombie at the door hollerin', "LET ME IN!" Black cats howlin' and the bats swoop low, While the headless horseman steals the show! A vampire's dancing with a mummy in white, Frankenstein's stompin' with all his might. The Grim Reaper shouts, "COME ON, Y'ALL!" Then he swings his scythe at the monster ball! [Pre-Chorus 2] The clock strikes twelve, hear the church bells ring, The ghosts all howl and the witches sing! The coffin lids fly, hear the skeletons shout, "THE BOOGIEMAN'S COMIN'! LET HIM OUT!" [Chorus] It’s the Boot Scootin’ Boogieman! He’s got a hat and a master plan. Two-step ghost in the devil’s band, Swing your bones while you still can! BOO! BOO! BOOGIEMAN! Stomp those boots in the graveyard sand! BOO! BOO! BOOGIEMAN! Everybody dance with the dead man's band! ("BOO-OO-OO! BOO-OO-OO!") [Verse 3] Down by the graveyard, beneath the moon, The dead start dancing to a haunted tune. A skeleton sheriff with a rusty old gun, Yells, "NOBODY LEAVES TILL THE DANCIN'S DONE!" The pumpkins are glowing, the tombstones shake, The swamp witch serves up a spiderweb cake. The werewolves howl and the coyotes cry, As a ghostly train goes thunderin' by! [Breakdown] Shhhhhh... Did you hear that? Something's scratchin'... Under the floor... [Bridge] When the moon turns red and the cold winds blow, And the dead come crawling from the earth below, Don't run away, don't scream, don't hide, Just grab a ghost and swing side to side! There's no escaping the midnight band, When the Boogieman takes you by the hand. One last dance till the break of dawn, But when the sun comes up... YOU'RE GONE! [Final Chorus] IT'S THE BOOT SCOOTIN' BOOGIEMAN! He's got a hat and a master plan! Two-step ghost in the devil's band, Swing your bones while you still can! BOO! BOO! BOOGIEMAN! Raise those bones and clap your hands! BOO! BOO! BOOGIEMAN! The creepiest cowboy in all the land! BOO! BOO! BOOGIEMAN! Stomp those boots in the graveyard sand! BOO! BOO! BOOGIEMAN! It's a never-ending Halloween band! [Outro] The rooster crows, the moon sinks low, The ghosts slip back where the cold winds blow. But every year when the pumpkins glow, You'll hear those boots from down below... (Sudden loud voice) HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEN! HA! HA! HA! YEEEE-HAWWWW!
