Laa, la, la, la, la, laa!
La, la, la, la, laa!
Laa, la, la, la, la, laa!
La, la, la, la, laa!
Hail to Mister Oogie!
Jack will never win!
When you find our booby traps
They will do you in!
First we brought the Master back
To take this town away from Jack!
We knew he'd fight to set things right
So we got bad guys who attack!
Stop! I've had enough of you!
Your punishment is overdue!
You've instigated chaos here
And turned this town onto its ear!
Hail to Mister Oogie!
Put Jack to the test!
Keep him guessing all the time
Never let him rest!
Then Mister Oogie Boogie Man
Can take the whole town over then!
He'll be so pleased, I do declare!
The whole world should beware!
Wheee!
Now, that Oogie is the king
We get away with everything!
You cannot scold us for our pranks!
The new King Oogie, let's give thanks!
Don't be foolish! Think now
All this danger isn't fun and games!
When this town is back to normal
Do you really want the blame?
Hail to Mister Oogie!
This is so much fun!
We make mischief day and night
Our work is never done!
I've told you once, I've told you twice
To straighten out your act!
You'll never get away with this
And that, you brats, is fact!
I've had enough of this disgrace!
So take me to the hidden place!
Where my friends sit locked in a cage!
Or you will face my rage!
Wheee!
[Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha... ]
Laa, la, la, la, la, laa!
La, la, la, la, laa!
Laa, la, la, la, la, laa!
La, la, la, la, laa!
Hail to Mister Oogie!
Jack will never win!
When you find our booby traps
They will do you in!
First we brought the Master back
To take this town away from Jack!
We knew he'd fight to set things right
So we got bad guys who attack!
Ghosts and skeletons galore!
Brainwashed fighters wanting more!
They're rising up from every tomb
To torment Jack and seal his doom!
Hail to Mister Oogie!
Put Jack to the test!
Keep him guessing all the time
Never let him rest!
Then Mister Oogie Boogie man
Can take the whole town over then!
He'll be so pleased, I do declare!
The whole world should beware!
Wheee!
With Mister Oogie as our the king
We'll get away with everything!
No more scolding for our pranks!
The new King Oogie, let's give thanks!
A trick a day, oh, why stop there?
We'll do whatever! We won't care!
And everyone will come to know
We run the show! Hey, life's unfair!
Hail to mister Oogie!
This is so much fun!
We make mischief day and night
Our work is never done!
Because Mister Oogie Boogie
Is the meanest guy around!
If I were on his Oogie list
I'd get out of town!
He'll be so pleased by our success!
That he'll reward us too, I bet!
I wonder what it's going to be!
We cannot wait to see!
Wheee!
Laa, la, la, la, la, laa!
La, la, la, la, laa!
Laa, la, la, la, la, laa!
La, la, la, la, laa!
Hail to Mister Oogie!
Jack will never win!
When you find our booby traps
They will do you in!
First we brought the Master back
To take this town away from Jack!
We knew he'd fight to set things right
So we got bad guys who attack!
Stop! I've had enough of you!
Your punishment is overdue!
You've instigated chaos here
And turned this town onto its ear!
Hail to Mister Oogie!
Put Jack to the test!
Keep him guessing all the time
Never let him rest!
Then Mister Oogie Boogie Man
Can take the whole town over then!
He'll be so pleased, I do declare!
The whole world should beware!
Wheee!
Now, that Oogie is the king
We get away with everything!

Hail to Mister Oogie!

We make mischief day and night
Our work is never done!
I've told you once, I've told you twice
To straighten out your act!
You'll never get away with this
And that, you brats, is fact!
Trusting him's a big mistake!
One, that you don't want to make!
He might reward you, this is true!
By cooking you into a stew!
Wheee!
[Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...]
