Back off Boogaloo,
Back off Boogaloo,
Get yourself together now and give me something tasty.
Back off Boogaloo, back off Boogaloo,
You think you're a groove,
Get yourself together now
(See how they run)
Back off, Boogaloo,
Back off Boogaloo,
Get yourself together now, sunshine.
(How does it feel to be one of the beautiful?)
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
Get yourself together now, easy.
Back Off Boogaloo

Back off Boogaloo,
I said, back off Boogaloo, boo.
What you think you're gonna do?
I gonna flash right from the start.
Ev'rything you try to do, you know it sure sound wasted.
(What would you do if I sang out of tune?)
I said, back off Boogaloo, boo.
(Would you stand up and walk out on me?)
Standin' there with your boogie shoes
(Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song)
And your socks that match your eyes.
(And I'll try not to sing out of key)
(Help! I need somebody)
And give me something tasty.
(Help! Not just anybody)
Ev'rything you try to do,
(Help! You know I need someone)
You know it sure sounds wasted.
(Help! Somebody)
(I said, back off, Boogaloo, I said, back off Boogaloo, boo)
I said, what you think you're gonna do?
I gonna flash right from the start.
(Good day good day)
You know it don't come easy.
(Good day sunshine)
(Sad because you're on your own?)
(I can show you but I know it's mine)
(Red foxes going forever)
(Whoa!)
