CHORUS: Dancing... Dancing... Dancing... Kendi! I'm dancing with the Boogieman!
(?) Something not right, approaching me in the disco light. I looked into those eyes and found myself grooving, I didn't think anything could get my body moving.
He chanted in my ear, the boogie and the beat, I felt it in my stomach and the bottom of my feet. I know my mama warned me, he's working in the corner. Now he's everywhere I look and everywhere I turn to.
She didn't understand I couldn't help being bad. So now I'm haunted, I'm haunted by the Boogieman.
I can't help being bad, I'm dancing with the Boogieman. I can't help being bad, I'm dancing with the Boogieman.
CHORUS: Dancing... Dancing... Dancing... Kendi! I'm dancing with the Boogieman!
Now the Boogieman has got me, I can't run I can't hide. It's driving me crazy, I can't help but join the ride. I thought it was a legend, like the candy man. But I'm scared, Show me the steps and I'll be damaged
so workless, it's useless, I didn't use to do this. Now I'll move it, I'll shake it, I'll brake it to this music.
I ain't nobody to (?), I feel it on my hoodie. If push comes to shove, I can bring it on the boogie.
I can't help being bad, I'm dancing with the Boogieman. (x4)
CHORUS: Dancing... Dancing... Dancing... Kendi! I'm dancing with the Boogieman!
Hey, mr. Boogieman, why you haunting me so bad? (x4)
Hey, mr. Boogieman, why you haunting me so bad? (x3) Hey, mr. Boogieman!
I can't help being bad, I'm dancing with the Boogieman. (x4)
