With a gun in your hand, I'm the boogieman
I'm gonna come and get you
If you point a gun at my rising Sun
Though we're not the one
But in the bounds of your mind
We have done the cry, yeah

Boogieman
You've got to help us, can you? Yes you can
Boogieman
You've got to help us, can you? Yes you can
With a gun in your hand, I'm the boogieman
I'm gonna come and get you
Every boy and girl all around the world
Knows my niggas' words

But if he's scared of me, how can we be free? Yes
Boogieman, yes
You've got to help us, can you? Yes you can, oh
Boogieman
You've got to help us, can you? Yes you can, oh
