lyrics

Sleeping beauty’s messing around
She’s looking to be unwound
She’s looking to prick her finger
She’s hitting the town each night
She’s too tired to fight

But she don’t know that the needle’s sick
And the butterflies turn around real quick
And princes kisses are weak
Against magic this sleek

So tell me Mrs. Oogie Boogie Man
How do you placate your children
When it’s daddy hiding under the bed
Do you kiss them each on the head and
Tell them all your fairytales
Do you tell them all the lies
Do you tuck them in the wolf’s den and tell them
Everything’s all right

Jack’s been playing it cool
He’s done playing the fool
He’s looking to find that golden goose
He’s hanging with the wrong crowd
He’s taking the beanstalk down

But he don’t know that the harp ain’t his
And magic beans aren’t sedatives
And not all treasures are yours to keep
The least of your worries are giants feet

So tell me Mrs. Oogie Boogie Man
How do you placate your children
When it’s daddy hiding under the bed
Do you kiss them each on the head and
Tell them all your fairytales
Do you tell them all the lies
Do you tuck them in the wolf’s den and tell them
Everything’s all right

And you’re alone and you’re so scared
And they’re so young but you’re prepared
You’ll just spin
Your fairytales
And you’re alone and you’re so scared
And they’re so young but you’re prepared
You’ll just spin
Your fairytales
But they don’t want
Your fairytales

The wicked witch is checking the books
It can’t be how it looks
She just can’t lose it in the end
She’s used up all her tricks
She’s taking all the hits

But she don’t know that it’s okay
Cause books don’t come true anyway
And she’ll be the last to laugh
Her victims never look past
Happily ever after

So tell me Mrs. Oogie Boogie Man
How do you placate your children
When it’s daddy hiding under the bed
Do you kiss them each on the head and
Tell them all your fairytales
Do you tell them all the lies
Do you tuck them in the wolf’s den and tell them
Everything’s all right
