Boogieman Sam Lyrics

Well, up jumped the boogieman
He ate mumma's babies
And shot the policeman
And went down to the nightclub
And shocked all the patrons
Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogieman
With the room in his hand

Causing mayhem
'Cause he's the boogieman
Causing mayhem
'Cause he's Boogieman Sam
(Boogieman Sam)

Well, up jumped the boogieman
He stole from a punter, the exact shoes he wanted
To carve holes in the floorboards
And dance like a demon
Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogieman
With the room in his hand

Causing mayhem
'Cause he's the boogieman
Arms are flailing
'Cause he's the Boogieman
(Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, Boogieman)
Doing damage
'Cause he's the boogieman
(Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie)
He's outlandish
'Cause he's Boogieman Sam
Boogieman Sam
Yeah, yeah

Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie
Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie
Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie
Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie

Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogieman

Well, up jumped the boogieman
He stole from a punter, the exact shoes he wanted
To carve holes in the floorboards
And dance like a demon
Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogieman
With the room in his hand

Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie
Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie
Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie
Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
