Kidnap the Sandy Claws Lyrics

Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws?
I wanna do it
Let's draw straws
Jack said, "we should work together"
Three of a kind, birds of a feather
Now and forever, whee (la, la, la)
(La, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la, la)

Kidnap the Sandy Claws, lock him up real tight
Throw away the key and then turn off all the lights

First, we're goin' to set some bait
Inside a nasty trap and wait
Then 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

Then 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, whee

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 beat us 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 in town
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 bet
Perhaps he'll make his special brew
Of snake and spider stew (mmm)

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
Listen
I've got something, listen now
This one is real good, you'll see
We'll send a present to his door
Upon there'll be a note to read
Now, in the box we'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
Ah, ha, ha (he, he, he)
