    Boogie Man
    (lyrics by Roman Warmke)


    [Stanza]
    I can feel it in the water,
    I can see it in a tree
    I can tell the Boogie Man is coming after me

    [Stanza]

    I could try to take him over
    knock him right in the eyes
    Maybe I’m getting sick of hearing all his lies

    [Chorus]

        Now the time has come and I’m sailing on these seas
        Say Mr Boogie Man don’t run with me

    [Stanza]

    Whats all the commotion?
    Running all around and around and
    You’d think that the Boogie Man has made his way to town

    [Stanza]
    Whats going on here?
    Who’s knocking on the door?
    I told you once I couldn’t take this anymore…

    [Chorus]

        It’s time you pay your dues and face your history,
        Say Mr Boogie Man don’t run with me

    [Solo on Stanza = Trombone]

    [Stanza]
    I can feel it in the water,
    I can see it in a tree
    I can tell the Boogie Man is coming after me

    [Stanza]
    I could try to take him over
    knock him right in the eyes
    Maybe I’m getting sick of hearing all his lies

    [Chorus]

        Now the time has come and I’m sailing on these seas
        Say Mr Boogie Man don’t run with me
