Lyrics What's this? What's this? There's color everywhere What's this? There's white things in the air What's this? I can't believe my eyes I must be dreaming Wake up, jack, this isn't fair What's this?
What's this? What's this? There's something very wrong What's this? There are people singing songs
What's this? The streets are lined with Little creatures laughing Everybody seems so happy Have I possibly gone daffy? What is this? What's this?
There are children throwing snowballs here instead of throwing heads They're busy building toys And absolutely no one's dead
There's frost on every window Oh, I can't believe my eyes And in my bones I feel the warmth That's coming from inside
Oh, look What's this? They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss Why that looks so unique, inspired They're gathering around to hear a story Roasting chestnuts on a fire What's this? What's this?
In here they've got a little tree, how queer And who would ever think And why?
They're covering it with tiny little things They've got electric lights on strings And there's a smile on everyone So, now, correct me if I'm wrong This looks like fun This looks like fun Oh, could it be I got my wish? What's this?
Oh my, what now? The children are asleep But look, there's nothing underneath No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them Or ensnare them, only little cozy things Secure inside their dreamland What's this?
The monsters are all missing And the nightmares can't be found And in their place there seems to be Good feeling all around
Instead of screams, I swear I can hear music in the air The smell of cakes and pies Are absolutely everywhere
The sights, the sounds They're everywhere and all around I've never felt so good before This empty place inside of me is filling up I simply cannot get enough
I want it, oh, I want it Oh, I want it for my own I've got to know I've got to know What is this place that I have found? What is this? Christmas Town, hmm...

Lyrics What have I done? What have I done? How could I be so blind? All is lost, where was I? Spoiled all, spoiled all Everything's gone all wrong
What have I done? What have I done? Find a deep cave to hide in In a million years they'll find me Only dust and a plaque That reads, "Here Lies Poor Old Jack"
But I never intended all this madness, never And nobody really understood, how could they? That all I ever wanted was to bring them something great Why does nothing ever turn out like it should?
Well, what the heck, I went and did my best And, by God, I really tasted something swell And for a moment, why, I even touched the sky And at least I left some stories they can tell, I did
And for the first time since I don't remember when I felt just like my old bony self again And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King That's right, I am the Pumpkin King, ha, ha, ha
And I just can't wait until next Halloween 'Cause I've got some new ideas that will really make them scream And, by God I'm really gonna give it all my might Uh oh, I hope there's still time to set things right sandy Claws, hmmThe Nightmare Before Christmas - Sallys Song (Lyrics)MovieClips2013-10-22 | Sally's Song A song from The Nightmare Before Christmas Directed by Henry Selick

Lyrics I sense there's something in the wind That seems like tragedy's at hand And though I'd like to stand by him Can't shake this feeling that I have The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be
What will become of my dear friend? Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd In their enthusiastic cloud Try as I may, it doesn't last
And will we ever end up together? no, I think not, it's never to become For I am not the one [x2]The Nightmare Before Christmas - Oogie Boogies SongMovieClips2013-10-21 | Oogie Boogie's Song A song from The Nightmare Before Christmas Directed by Henry Selick
Well, well, well, what have we here? Sandy Claws, huh? Oh, I'm really scared So you're the one everybody's talkin' about, ha, ha
You're jokin', you're jokin' I can't believe my eyes You're jokin me, you gotta be This can't be the right guy He's ancient, he's ugly I don't knoe which is worse I might just split a seam now If I don't die laughing first
When Mr. Oogie Boogie says There's trouble close at hand You'd better pay attention now 'Cause I'm the Boogie Man And if you aren't shakin' Then something's very wrong 'Cause this may be the last time now That you hear the boogie song, ohhh
Ohhh

Ohhh
Ohhh, he's the Oogie Boogie Man
Well if I'm feelin' antsy And there's nothin' much to do I might just cook a special batch Of snake and spider stew And don't ya know one thing That would make it work so nice? A roly-poly Sandy Claws to add a little spice
Ohhh
Oh, yeah

Ohhh
Oh, yeah, I'm/he's the Oogie Boogie Man
Release me now Or you must face the dire consequences The children are expecting me So please come, to your senses
You're jokin', you're jokin' I can't believe my ears Would someone shut this fella up I'm drownin' in my tears It's funny, I'm laughing You really are too much And now, with your permission I'm going to do my stuff
What are you going to do?
I'm gonna do the best I can
Oh, the sound of rollin' dice To me is music in the aor 'Cause I'm a gamblin' Boogie Man Although I don't play fair
It's much more fun, I must confess When lives are on the line Not mine, of course, but yours, old boy Now that'd be just fine
Release me fast or you will have to Answer for this heinous act
Oh, brother, you're something You put me in a spin You aren't comprehending The position That you're in It's hopeless, you're finished You haven't got a prayer 'Cause I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie And you ain't going nowhereThe Nightmare Before Christmas - Making Christmas (Lyrics)MovieClips2013-09-25 | Making Christmas A song from The Nightmare Before Christmas Directed by Henry Selick

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
Wheeee 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 going to set some bait Inside a nasty trap and wait When 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 Wheeee!
I say that we take a cannon Aim it at his door and then Knock three times and when he anwers Sandy Claws will be no more
You're so stupid, think now If we blow him up into smithereens We may lose some pieces
And the 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 id the meanest guy around 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 Ummm!
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!
Make me
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 curiousity
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 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 keyThe Nightmare Before Christmas - Jacks Onsession (Lyrics)MovieClips2013-09-23 | Jack's Onsession A song from The Nightmare Before Christmas Directed by Henry Selick

Lyrics Something's up with Jack Something's up with Jack Don't know if we're ever going to get him back
He's all alone up there Locked away inside
Never says a word
Hope he hasn't died
Something's up with Jack Something's up with Jack
Christmas time is buzzing in my skull Will it let me be? I cannot tell There are so many things I cannot grasp When I think I've got, and then at last Through my bony fingers it does slip Like a snowflake in a fiery grip
Something's here I'm not quite getting Though I try, I keep forgetting Like a memory long since past Here in an instant and gone in a flash What does it mean? What does it mean?
In these little bric-a-brac A secret's waiting to be cracked These dolls and toys confuse me so Confound it all, I love it though
Simple objects, nothing more Bout something's hidden through a door Though I do not have the key Something's there I cannot see What does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean? Hmm...
I've read their Christmas books so many times I k now the stories and I know the rhymes I know the Christmas carols all by heart My skull's so full, it's tearing me apart As often as I've read them, something's wrong So hard to put my bony finger on
Or perhaps it's not as deep As I've been led to think Am I trying much too hard? Of course! I've been too close to see The answer's right in front of me Right in front of me
It's simple really, very clear Like music drifting in the air Invisible, but everywhere Just because I cannot see it Doesn't mean I can't believe it
You know, I think this Christmas thing Is not as tricky as it seems And why should they have all the fun? It should belong to anyone
Not anyone, in fact, but me Why, I could make a Christmas tree And there's no reason I can find I couldn't handle Christmas time
I bet I could improve it too And that's exactly what I'll do Hee, hee, hee Eureka! This year Christmas will be ours!The Nightmare Before Christmas - Town MeetingMovieClips2013-09-22 | Town Meeting A song from The Nightmare Before Christmas Directed by Henry Selick
There were object so peculiar They were not to be believed All around, things to tantalize my brain
It's a world unlike anything I've ever seen And as hard as I try I can't seem to describe Like a most improbable dream
But you must believe when I tell you this It's as real as my skull and it does exist Here, let me show you
This is a thing called a present The whole thing starts with a box
A box? Is it steel?
Are there locks?
Is it filled with a pox?
A pox How delightful, a pox
If you pleae Just a box with bright-colored paper And the whole thing's topped with a bow
A bow? But why? How ugly What's in it? What's in it?
That's the point of the thing, not to know
It's a bat
Will it bend?
It's a rat
Will it break?
Perhaps it's the head that I found in the lake
Listen now, you don't understand That's not the point of Christmas land
Now, pay attention Now we pick up an over-sized sock And hang it like this on the wall
Oh, yes! Does it still have a foot?
Let me see, let me look
Is it rotted and covered with gook?
Hmm, let me explain There's no foot inside, but there's candy or sometimes it's filled with small toys
Small toys
Do they bite?
Do they snap?
Or explode in a sack?
Or perhaps they just spring out And scare girls and boys
What a splendid idea This Christmas sounds fun Why, I fully endorse it Let's try it at once
Everyone, please now, not so fast There's sometihng here that you don't quite grasp Well, I may as well give them what they want
And the best, I must confess, I have saved for the last For the ruler of this Christmas land Is a fearsome King with a deep mighty voice Least that's what I've come to understand
And I've also heard it told That's he's something to behold Like a lobster, huge and red And sets out to slay with his rain gear on Carting bulging sacks with his big great arms That is, so I've heard it said
And on a darkm cold night Under full moonlight He flies into a fog Like a vulture in the sky And they call him Sandy Claws
Well, at least they're excited Though they don't understand That special lind of feeling in Christmas land Oh, well...The Nightmare Before Christmas - This is Halloween (Lyrics)MovieClips2013-09-21 | This is Halloween A song from The Nightmare Before Christmas Directed by Henry Selick

Lyrics Boys and girls of every age Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see This, our town of Halloween
This is Halloween, this is Halloween Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright It's our town, everybody scream In this town of Halloween
I am the one hiding under your bed Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under yours stairs Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! In this town we call home Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
In this town, don't we love it now? Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll...
Scream! This is Halloween Red 'n' black, slimy green
Aren't you scared?
Well, that's just fine Say it once, say it twice Take a chance and roll the dice Ride with the moon in the dead of night
Everybody scream, everbody scream
In our town of Halloween!
I am the clown with the tear-away face Here in a flash and gone without a trace
I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?" I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
This is Halloween, this is Halloween Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Tender lumplings everywhere Life's no fun without a good scare
That's our job, but we're not mean In our town of Halloween
In this town
Don't we love it now? Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back And scream like a banshee Make you jump out of your skin This is Halloween, everyone scream Wont' ya please make way for a very special guy
Our man jack is King of the Pumpkin patch Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now!
This is Halloween, this is Halloween Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

Lyrics There are few can who deny, at what I do I am the best For my talents are renowned far and wide When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night I excel without ever even trying
With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms I have see grown men give out a shriek With a wave of my hand and a well-placed moan I have swept the very bravest off their feet
Yet year after year, it's the same routine And I grow so weary of the sound of screams And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King Have grown so tired of the same old thing
Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones An emptiness began to grow There's something out there, far from my home A longing that I've never known
I'm a master of fright and a demon of light And I'll scare you right out of your pants To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky And I'm known throughout England and France
And since I am dead, I can take off my head To recite Shakespearean quotations No animal nor man can scream like I can With the fury of my recitations
But who here would ever understand That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin Would tire of his crown, if they only understood He'd give it all up if he only could
Oh, there's an empty place in my bones That calls out for something unknown The fame and praise come year after year Does nothing for these empty tears
