Lyrics[]
Jack Black:
Viewer Beware, you're in for a scare! Goosebumps!
The Bumps Gonna Goose Ya!
The Bumps Gonna Goose Ya!
The Bumps Gonna Goose Ya!
The Bumps Gonna Goose Ya!
MF Bumps:
Welcome, y'all, to the Dead House
But you better stay outta the basement
Yeah, you'll be in some deep trouble
If you don't heed my statement
The Goosebumps are a-coming
And they want Monster Blood, y'all
So you best say cheese and die
Or all of them Creeps will call (Eek!)
When young Zach Cooper moved to town
My man R.L. saw trouble
And now that he's unlocked the books
This whole place will be rubble
So when the Shocker hits Shock Street
You better know that you're dead meat
And you can't hide underneath your bedsheets
'cause here comes the Goosebumps, hee, ha-ha!
MF Bumps (Jack Black):
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Bumps gonna goose ya!)
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Bumps gonna goose ya!)
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Bumps gonna goose ya!)
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Ya get Goosebumps!)
MF Bumps:
When R.L. Stine's books come to life
You're gonna have a real bad hair day
'Cause he's their mondo monster maker
And he can't control them anyway
With mutants, pirates, zombies and clowns
Mad living dummies and ghosts (Booooo!)
It's clear these evil monster dudes
Got plans to run from coast to coast
Can't hide from the Snowman of Pasadena
Can't run from the Werewolf of Fever Swamp (Awooooooo!)
You know you can't escape the Lawn Gnomes' wrath
Come on man, it's the Goosebumps!
So don't cry monster, don't say cheese
Be careful what you wish for
All these freaky ghouls will send you on
Your hairiest adventure!
MF Bumps (Jack Black):
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Bumps gonna goose ya!)
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Bumps gonna goose ya!)
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Bumps gonna goose ya!)
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Come on, Slappy, make 'em dance, y'all!)
Slappy:
Yeah!
Do the Goosebumps dance!
All right!
Dance till you die!
HA HA HA HA!
MF Bumps (Jack Black):
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Bumps gonna goose ya!)
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Bumps gonna goose ya!)
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Bumps gonna goose ya!)
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Ya get Goosebumps!)
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Bumps gonna goose ya!)
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Bumps gonna goose ya!)
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Bumps gonna goose ya!)
Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! (Ya get Goosebumps!)
Jack Black:
Viewer Beware, you're in for a scare!
