When I was but a little child
they told me of a man,
who stole bad boys
and he stole bad girls
and put them in his moving van.
Oo! Oo! Oo!
His face was quite a sight to see,
his eyes were where his eyes should be,
his skin was black, Oh,
an awful sight!
And he would steal around at night,
Oo! Oo! Oo!

Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo
Oo the Boooogie Boo!
His face is just as black as your shoe,
He has a pot from which black smoke curls,
In it he boils bad boys and girls,
He'll carry you off to an awful place,
He'll steal the nose right off your face;
If you're good he never troubles you,
but if you're bad
look out for the Boooogie Boo!

Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo
Oo the Boooogie Boo!
His face is just as black as your shoe,
He has a pot from which black smoke curls,
In it he boils bad boys and girls,
He'll carry you off to an awful place,
He'll steal the nose right off your face;
If you're good he never troubles you,
but if you're bad
look out for the Boooogie Boo!

When night comes and all is still,
there's darkness through the house,
'Tis then the BoogieBoo steals about
as quiet as a little mouse.
Oo! Oo! Oo!
He's waiting just to pounce upon
some child that should have been in bed,
He has a sand bag in his hand,
and hits you right upon the head,
Oo! Oo! Oo!

Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo
Oo the Boooogie Boo!
His face is just as black as your shoe,
He has a pot from which black smoke curls,
In it he boils bad boys and girls,
He'll carry you off to an awful place,
He'll steal the nose right off your face;
If you're good he never troubles you,
but if you're bad
look out for the Boooogie Boo!

Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo
Oo the Boooogie Boo!
His face is just as black as your shoe,
He has a pot from which black smoke curls,
In it he boils bad boys and girls,
He'll carry you off to an awful place,
He'll steal the nose right off your face;
If you're good he never troubles you,
but if you're bad
look out for the Boooogie Boo!
