Motorhead - Boogeyman Lyrics






You know everybody's scared,
Everybody better beware
Scared of spiders, scared of rats,
Scared of being crossed by cats
Scared of everything that moves,
Scared of things with cloven hooves

I ain't scared, live my life allright
I ain't scared, to stand and fight
I ain't scared, 'cos I believe
Ain't scared, to wear my heart on my sleeve
Ain't scared to show my hands
But I'm scared of the boogeyman

You can't boogie with the boogeyman,
You can't boogie with the boogeyman,
You can't boogie with the boogeyman,
You can't boogie with the boogeyman,
Hold out any way you can,
But don't mess with the boogeyman

He's hiding underneath your bed,
He's hiding inside your head
He's hiding behind your eye
He be there until you die
Ridin' shotgun in your new transam
Slide over for the boogeyman

[Chorus twice]

  4. J.... ....

    Rock n Roll to bang your head to man! RIP Lemmy, cos you made a Rock n Roll man outta me forever mate and I just can't stop rolling 👍🎸🍺😁👍

  5. j.... c....

    i'm 15. i've always loved lemmy. he's actually the reason why i play bass. i was raised on classic rock, metal, punk and 100% love the dude. best bassist in my opinion. lately i've been trying to learn this song (a favorite,) and let me tell you, it's hard as hell. you just can't sound as great as lemmy. iconic man!

    j.... c....

    Keep plugging away man! Practice until your fingers bleed. As long as you are passionate, that's what matters. Awesome to see youth into great music. This from a geezer.

    j.... c....

    @shoplanb geezer? 😂🤣😆

    j.... c....

    @Jack D'Ripa more like an iron age relic. :p

    j.... c....

    @shoplanb Ditto!😲

    j.... c....

    Play rock n roll.

  6. C.... C....

    John Wick?

  7. j.... c....

    Im a 15 year old bassist with a love for classic rock, and lemmy. I'm trying to learn this song and let me just say, it's difficult. Awesome challenge though. Love you lemmy

  8. S.... W....

    Listen i love motorhead...since i was 14 im 52 now...i get it...my mrs dont understand why i love thrm...sometimes i even understand why there not liked bit heavy bit noisey...but when they get it right like this bluesey rock n roll..lurics...there s no better band on the PLANET that includes the stones etc

  9. �.... ....

    Thank You・・・Lemmy・・・

  10. F.... M....

    The intro was a bass??

    F.... M....

    The Lemmy bass

  11. R.... S....

    Should've been the soundtrack of John Wick.

  12. N.... J....

    Ray Charles what id say lol

  13. s.... t....

    'Ressemble gros à "shine"...

  14. A.... P....

    The main riff seems like it quotes an old song with "boogie" in the title that my dad used to play .... I wish I knew the full title, but it's too hard to sort through 1000000 songs with "boogie" in the title.

  15. C.... Z....

    My best bassist:
    1. Lemmy
    2. Cliff Burton (sorry Cliff)

    C.... Z....

    They're both at the same level imo

  16. T.... K....

    Its weird how I see this as a very catholic song. He aint scared of anything including cats and those stuff, he isnt afraid of living life allright nor of being who he is(wear my heart on my sleeve) but he is afraid of boogeyman. Even the Bible says to avoid satan “its good when you dont talk to him you’re not in danger but when you start to talk you already lost” something like that.

  17. M.... C....

    Riding shotgun in a new trans am slide over for the boogie man

  18. T.... N....

    Im boogeying with the boogey man as we speak man.

  19. T.... N....

    U actually can boogie with the boogie man. Contrary to popular belief.

  20. T.... N....

    I worked for Lemm and he was indeed GOD!!!!!

    T.... N....

    so was every other member of MOTORHEAD

  21. W.... E....

    This song will kill your houseplants, rats, mice, roaches, water bugs and other unwanted pests!!

    W.... E....

    Wayne Elmore ,Evy's Dad And ur lawn will die.

  22. C.... S....

    This song is very agressive and HIGH !!! It's so awesome !!!

  23. B.... S....

    This is my creed. It is Frank Black's answer to Lucy Butler.

  24. n.... n....

    lol this is just "Shine" re-written

    n.... n....

    No. Shine is a lot different. A lot of different rhythm, with the walk up, and different time signatures. The only similarities is that it's played in A.

  25. C.... M....

    ★Croma★desde ARGENTINA...MI ♥con Motorhead♣♧♣◆☆♣

    Buggar was an awesome dog too! He was buddies with everyone whos cool.
    I had him and his sister (who is still have thank God) since they were 8 weeks old. He was almost 13 1/2. They're pure bred English Staffordshire Bull Terriers.
    Great Breed!
    Highly recommended, but they are certainly not for everybody.

  47. S.... ....

    Oh soooo true!
    If you've ever met the boogeyman you're either dead or you have a very nasty scar too prove it!

  48. s.... b....

    Lemmy handles a Rickenbacker like Angus Young handles a Gibson SG - no mercy.

    s.... b....

    +stan broniszewski Agreed!

    s.... b....

    Then there are Ritchie Blackmore and Stevie Ray Vaughan who do the same with a Stratocaster!

  49. A.... R....

    Can somebody please tell me where to find the correct bass tab for this...

    A.... R....

    @Austin Ranalli there is a video where lemmy plays it as a demonstration, you can get the correct notes off of his hand

    Kruelable speeds good until the paranoia kicks in then the world goes a bit to crazy 😜 lol

  54. s.... ....

    Boogeyman is a Motorhead classic.
