Danny Elfman - Poor Jack

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, ah, 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...
... Santy Claws, hmm...


Sing with much emotion - deep voice


Sing with more emotion - deep voice
