Nightmare Before Christmas - Poor Jack lyrics

rate me

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, well 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, my God, I really tasted something swell, that's right

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, my God I'm really gonna give it all my might

Uh oh, I hope there's still time to set things right

Sandy Claws, hmm
