Lyrics

Poor Jack
  Performed by 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
  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, 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 going to give it all my might
  Uh oh, I hope there's still time to set things right
  Sandy Claws, hmm
