THE BLUE BOOGALOO
BLUE BOOGALOO
He’s big, bad and ugly, he’s looking for you!
So RUN! RUN AWAY! From the
BLUE BOOGALOOIs he in the kitchen, the bedroom - the loo?
NO! He hides in the cupboard, just waiting for you!
He says that good children are too hard to chew
So only bites bad kids (don’t let it be you!)
So better behave and be good, for it’s true -
Good children are safe from the BLUE BOOGALOO
But if you’re getting frightened, then here’s what to do
To make him much smaller, shout “ABRACADOO
He’ll still look quite nasty - and smell (what a phew!)
But he’ll just be the size of the sole of your shoe.
Keep him in your pencil case, like a small zoo
And show all your friends your pet BLUE BOOGALOO
Now don’t do what I did when I captured two
I said the wrong magic word - “KALAMAZOO"
The pair started growing, they grew and they grew
As big as a house they were - what could I do?
Then I tried an old Scottish spell “Tatties and Mince!”
They both vanished “Pop-Pop” and I’ve not seen them since!
But sometimes, on stormy nights, there’s a strange smell
Half-asleep I look out and I let out a yell
For there in the lightning’s flash - can it be true?
Standing in the rain - watching - is the --------------------------
