Lyrics and translation
Original
Kidnap
Mr. Sandy Claws?
-I want to do it! -Let's draw straws.
-Jack said we should work together. -Three of a kind.
-Birds of a feather- -Now and forever!
Kidnap the
Sandy Claws, lock him up real tight.
Throw away the key and then turn off all the -lights.
-First, we're going to set some bait inside a nasty trap and wait.
When he comes a-sniffing, we will snap the trap and -close the gate.
-Wait, I've got a better plan to catch this big red lobster man.
Let's pop him in a boiling pot, and when he's done, we'll -butter him up!
-Kidnap the Sandy Claws, throw him in a box. Bury him for ninety years, then see if he talks.
-The Mr. Oogie Boogie Man. . . -Can take the whole thing over then.
He'll be so pleased, I do declare, that he will cook him rare!
I say that we take a cannon, aim it at his door, and then- -knock three times, and when he answers, Sandy Claws will be no more.
You're so stupid.
Think, now, if we blow him up to smithereens, we may lose some -pieces, and then- -Jack will be just black and green.
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, tie him in a bag.
Throw him in the ocean, then see if he is sad. Because Mr. Oogie Boogie is the meanest guy around.
If I were on his boogie list, I'd get out of town.
-He'll be so pleased by our success. . . -That he'll reward us, too, I'll bet.
Perhaps he'll make a special brew. . . of Satan's spider's food.
We're his little henchmen, and we take our job with pride.
We do our best to please him and stay on -his good side. -I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb.
-I'm not the dumb one. -You're no fun.
-Shut up! -Make me.
I've got something. Listen now, this one is real good, you'll see.
We'll send a present to his door. Upon it'll be a note to read.
Now, in the box he'll wait and -hide until his curiosity- -Entices him to look inside, and then we'll -have him, one, two, three!
-Kidnap the Sandy Claws, beat him with a stick. Lock him up for ninety years, see what makes him tick. Kidnap the Sandy
Claws, chop him into bits. Mr. Oogie Boogie is sure to get his kicks.
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, see what we will see.
Lock him in a cage and then throw away the key.
