"The Boxtrolls Song" is a song from the 2014 LAIKA stop motion animated film The Boxtrolls. It features Archibald Snatcher (under his Madame Frou Frou persona) telling a false story about how the Boxtrolls kidnapped a baby and killed its father in order to get people to sympathize with his plan to capture them.
It was performed by Snatcher's singing voice Sean Patrick Doyle.
Lyrics[]
Ten years ago, a plot was hatched,
Where evil was with cunning matched
Whoever left their doors unlatched
Would find their infant children snatched
By Boxtrolls
Ooh, no, Boxtrolls!
Trubshaw Senior loved his kid,
The same as regular fathers did
If you don’t want to share his plight,
Make sure that you are locked up tight
From Boxtrolls
For this night baby’s dad Trubshaw
Quite forgot to lock the door
And as soon as he began to snore,
The Boxtrolls came in to withdraw
Poor baby! Ugh, those vile Boxtrolls!
So lock your windows, bolt your doors,
Or Boxtrolls, with their creepy claws,
Will take your children in their paws,
And drag them down to feed their jaws
Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Boxtrolls
Mr. Trubshaw went quite wild
When he found out he’d lost his child
He did what any dad would do:
He ran off swiftly to pursue
Those Boxtrolls
“Help, help, help me, please, won’t you?!”,
But the Boxtrolls did what Boxtrolls do:
They snatched him up, and began to chew
Until there was no residue
Of Trubshaw
They pulled him down into their nest,
Hardly pausing to digest
They left his bones but ate the rest
Never be a dinner guest
Of Boxtrolls
Oh, those Boxtrolls!
So that’s the story of the Trubshaw kid
Don’t do what Father Trubshaw did
If you see Boxtrolls, don’t placate them
Catch them, and exterminate
The Boxtrolls!
KILL THOSE BOXTROLLS!
KILL THOSE BOXTROLLS!
KILL THOSE BOXTROLLS.........!
