1.This is Halloween

作詞:Danny Elfman

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 of 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 the eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your 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 the chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night

Everybody scream, everybody 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 lump ling 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?
Everyone'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, everybody scream
Won't ya please make way for a very special guy?
Our man Jack is king of the Pumpkin
Everyone held to the Pumpkin King now

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween


2.What's this?

作詞:Daniel Elfman

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's 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
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 the 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 cozy little 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 feelings 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


3.Opening

作詞:Danny Elfman

â€~Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems
In a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams
For the story that you are about to be told
Began with the holiday worlds of old

Now, you've probably wondered where holidays come from
If you haven't I'd say it's time you begun
For the holidays are the result of much fuss
And hard work from the worlds that create them us

Well, you see now, quite simply that's all that they do
Making one unique holiday especially for you
But once, a calamity ever so great
Occurred when two holidays met by mistake


4.Jack's Lament

作詞:Danny Elfman

There are few who'd 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 ghost like charms
I have seen grown men give out a shriek
With the 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 his 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


5.Making Christmas

作詞:Danny Elfman

This time, this time
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Making Christmas is so fine

It's ours this time
And won't the children be surprised?
It's ours this time

Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Making Christmas

Time to give them something fun
They'll talk about for years to come
Let's have a cheer from everyone
It's time to party

Making Christmas, making Christmas

Snakes and mice get wrapped up so nice
With spider legs and pretty bows
It's ours this time

All together, that and this
With all our tricks we're making Christmastime

Here comes Jack

I don't believe what's happening to me
My hopes, my dreams, my fantasies

Won't they be impressed? I am a genius
See how I transformed this old rat
Into a most delightful hat

My compliments from me to you
On this most intriguing hat
Consider though this substitute
A bat in place of this old rat

No, no, no, now that's all wrong
This thing will never make a present
It's been dead for much too long
Try something fresher, something pleasant
Try again, don't give up

All together, that and this
With all our tricks we're making Christmastime

This time, this time
Making Christmas, making Christmas
It's almost here and we can't wait
So ring the bells and celebrate

'Cause when the full moon starts to climb
We'll all sing it out, 'It's Christmastime'


6.Jack's Obsession

作詞:Danny Elfman

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 it and then at last

Through my bony fingers it does slip
Like a snowflake in a fiery grip
Something's here I'm not getting
Though I try, I keep forgetting

Like a memory, long since past
Here in an instant, 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
But something's hidden through a door
Though I do not have the key
Something's here I cannot see
What does it mean? What does it mean?

What does it mean?

I've read these Christmas books so many times
I know 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 really 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
It's 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

Eureka, I've got it


7.How You See The World No.2

作詞:Guy Berryman, Jon Buckland, Will Champion, Chris Martin

They put the world in a tin can black market, contraband
And it hurt just a little bit, when they sliced and packaged it
In a long black trench coat two hands around the throat
Oh, you want to get it right sometimes

There's so much to be scared of and not much to make sense of
How did the clowns ever get control? If your hear can you let me
know
How can they invade it, when it's so complicated?
Oh, you just want to get it right sometimes
You just want to get it right sometimes

That's how you see the world
How many times can you say, you can't believe what you learn
That's how you see the world, don't you worry yourself
You're not gonna give up, ooh

And there's something missing, seems like there's nobody
listening
If you're running in a circle, how can you be too careful?
We don't wanna be man trapped, we don't wanna be shrink wrapped
Oh, we just want to get it right sometimes
We just want to get it right sometimes

That's how you see the world
How many times have you heard, but you can't believe a word
That's how you see the world, but don't you worry yourself
'Cause nobody can hurt you, ooh, ooh, oh

That's how you see the world
That's how you see the world


8.Poor Jack

作詞:Danny Elfman

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 by 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 by God, I'm really gonna give it all my might
Uh oh, I hope there's still time to set things right, oh, Sandy
Claws


9.Kidnap Sandy Claws

作詞:Danny Elfman

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 bow and forever

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 we'll wait
When he comes a sniffling 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

I say that we take a cannon
Aim it at his door and then
Knock three times and when he answers
Sandy Claws will be no more

You're so stupid, think now
If we blow him up to smithereens
We may lose some pieces
And then 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
Is 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

We're his little henchmen
And we take our job with pride
We do our best to please him
And to 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, I've got something, listen now
This one is real good, you'll see

We'll send a present to his door
Up on there'll be a note to read
Now in the box we'll wait and hide
Until his curiosity 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 up 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 key


10.Oogie Boogie's Song

作詞:Danny Elfman

Well, well, well, what have we here?
Sandy Claws, huh?, oh, I'm really scared
So you're the one everybody's talkin' about
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 know which is worse
I might just split a seam now if I don't die laughing first

It's still your Boogie says there's trouble close at hand
You'd better pay attention now 'cause I am the Boogie Man
And if you aren't shakin' then there's something very wrong
'Cause this may be the last time now you hear the boogie song

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 the one thing that would make it work so nice?
A roly-poly Sandy Claws to add a little spice

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 gonna do?
I'm gonna do the best I can

Oh, the sound of rollin' dice to me is music in the air
'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's 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 nowhere


11.Sally's Song

作詞:Danny Elfman

I sense there's something in the wind
That feels 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


12.Town Meeting Song

作詞:Danny Elfman

Listen everyone
There were objects 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 please
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, we pick up an oversized 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?

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
I'll fully endorse it let's try it at once
Everyone, please now, not so fast
There's something 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 the 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 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 dark, 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 kind of feeling in Christmas land
Oh, well
