Headless Boogie
Insane Clown Posse Lyrics

It's Friday night, dark, scary
The setting is a frightening one, with a creepy atmosphere.

Lonely, walking through the park, cemetery
The singer is alone and walking through a cemetery.

And its foggy, cold and smoggy
The cemetery is shrouded in fog, cold and smoggy.

Hear a dog, a howling doggy
The artist hears a dog howling in the distance.

I'm scared, should of brung the shotgun
The artist is scared and wishes he had brought a shotgun for protection.

Should of, would of, but I ain't got one
The singer acknowledges that he missed an opportunity to bring a shotgun for protection.

So I watch my back, and what's that
The singer is keeping an eye out for danger.

The caretaker, a dirty old hunchback
The artist sees the caretaker, who is a dirty old hunchback.

Better run, hide, quick, fast
The artist needs to act fast and hide to avoid the caretaker.

He's coming for my ass with a shovel
The caretaker is coming after the artist with a shovel.

No where to run, nore to hide but the grave bit
The singer has no other option but to hide in a grave.

So I dove in, I did the dumb shit
The artist makes a rash decision to dive into a grave to avoid the caretaker.

Took a fall, deeper than six foot
The singer falls into a deep grave pit.

Down the stairs, hit a floor and through a door
The singer falls down a set of stairs and through a door.

Into a whole new world of stiffs
The singer discovers a new world full of dead bodies.

Bodies, heads, and sexy little dead chicks
The dead bodies include body parts and even attractive dead women.

Club lights, sounds, bass

DJs spinnin with maggots on they face

And what I saw next then really took me
The singer is surprised by what he sees next.

Uh, they did the headless boogie
The dead bodies are dancing and appear to be able to do the headless boogie.

[Chorus (2x)]
The chorus repeats the phrase 'Headless Boogie'.

"Oh yeah, we dug up the finest

Bitches in the graveyard

So come on down
The artist invites others to join in the dancing.

And if you ain't come to get your funk out
Those who are not there to dance are not welcome.

Then get the fuck out, bitch"
The singer tells anyone who isn't there to dance to leave.

They all stand straight and swing to the side

No heads, but they feet still glide

Take a step back, twist and dive

I even seen Kurt Cobain get live (blam!)

No heads, but they all funky

And drunk, drinking old Spunky

Don't be shy, everyone's able

Hit the floor, leave your nugget on the table
The artist encourages others to dance and put their heads on the table.

And kick-step, and when you do kicks off
The dance moves involve kick-stepping and kicking off (although again, since they're dead, their legs might fall off).

If you're dead, your legs might fall off

The whole time I can't believe

I can't conceive, I don't want to leave

I'm kicking into a freak with no head

No face, but the rest is straight

She's with it, I hit it like a G

Her back fell off, eww, excuse me
During sex, the woman's back fell off (which the singer finds gross).

Zombies, mummies, and Frankenstein

Drinkin 'cisco disco dead wine

Dead stiffs coming through the door

Head, speakers, and limbs on the floor

I'm getting drunk, I want to be down, what's up

I want to be the headless clown

They pulled out the jigsaw and got raw

And that ended it all, I did the headless boogie

[Chorus (4x)]
The chorus repeats the phrase 'Headless Boogie' four more times.

"Hey yo, fuck that voodoo moshing, bitch

You come and freak it with the real dead juggalos

So come on by and we'll cut your nugget off
