The Ragtime Goblin Man 1911

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 14 Sep 2004

A ragtime goblin man he comes around
and softly burns a ragtime tune.
I know he followed me,
he'll catch me sure,
and then there'll be a ragtime swoon,
he's beside me, hide me, hide me,
I can feel his breath
Oh, I'm scared to death,
he will take me, shake me, make me,
Join his raggedy band.
Oh, oh, where will I go,
that goblin man, that goblin man.

Look out for the goblin man
that ragtime goblin man
look out for the hook in his hand
that great big hook in his hand.
There he is, there he is
there he is
there, see his eyes, see his eyes,
see his his eyes glare,
Mister BugaBoo,
if he catches you,
he'll beat you,
then he'll eat you,
Run, run, just as fast as you can,
from the ragtime goblin man.
Hide, hide, or he'll give you a ride,
in his ragtime van.
Look out, look out,
just hear him shout;
look out, look out,
for the rag, rag, rag, ragtime goblin man.

Look out for the goblin man
that ragtime goblin man
look out for the hook in his hand
that great big hook in his hand.
There he is, there he is
there he is
there, see his eyes, see his eyes,
see his his eyes glare,
Mister BugaBoo,
if he catches you,
he'll beat you,
then he'll eat you,
Run, run, just as fast as you can,
from the ragtime goblin man.
Hide, hide, or he'll give you a ride,
in his ragtime van.
Look out, look out,
just hear him shout;
look out, look out,
for the rag, rag, rag, ragtime goblin man.

That ragtime goblin man was wild,
what was it drove him wild?
A ragtime tune.
On dark nights just look out
he'll catch you if you sing about
a rag time moon,
If he nabs you, grabs you, jabs you,
you won't get away
cause you'll have to stay,
then he'll bring you, sting you, fling you,
to his raggedy band,
see, he, wants to get me,
that goblin man, that goblin man.

Look out for the goblin man
that ragtime goblin man
look out for the hook in his hand
that great big hook in his hand.
There he is, there he is
there he is
there, see his eyes, see his eyes,
see his his eyes glare,
Mister BugaBoo,
if he catches you,
he'll beat you,
then he'll eat you,
Run, run, just as fast as you can,
from the ragtime goblin man.
Hide, hide, or he'll give you a ride,
in his ragtime van.
Look out, look out,
just hear him shout;
look out, look out,
for the rag, rag, rag, ragtime goblin man.

Look out for the goblin man
that ragtime goblin man
look out for the hook in his hand
that great big hook in his hand.
There he is, there he is
there he is
there, see his eyes, see his eyes,
see his his eyes glare,
Mister BugaBoo,
if he catches you,
he'll beat you,
then he'll eat you,
Run, run, just as fast as you can,
from the ragtime goblin man.
Hide, hide, or he'll give you a ride,
in his ragtime van.
Look out, look out,
just hear him shout;
look out, look out,
for the rag, rag, rag, ragtime goblin man.
