| My mama told me when I was quite young | |
| Don't be a bad boy and don't run | |
| 'Cause he's gonna get you | |
| He's gonna get you | |
| So little girl that's why I'm tellin' you | |
| Don't you dare break my heart in two | |
| Or he's gonna get you | |
| He's gonna get you (Sing) | |
| THE BOOGIE MAN is gonna get you | |
| If you're messin' around in the dark | |
| Playin' with my love and affection | |
| That ain't smart, no that ain't smart, oh | |
| So little girl that's why I'm tellin' you | |
| Take my love, take my money | |
