072. Nightmare before christmas

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 neighbours come and 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 your stairs,
fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
This is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
In this town we call home,
everyone hail to the pumpkin song
La la la etc. Whee!

What’s this? What’s this? There’s colour 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’s 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
The sights, the sounds, there ev’reywhere, and all around
I’ve never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply can nog 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?

Kidnap Mister 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.
La la la la, etc, etc…

Kidnap the Sandy Claws,
lock him up real tight,
throw away the key and then
turn off all the lights.
Kidnap the Sandy Claws,
tie him in a bag,
throw him in the ocean then
see if he is sad.
Because Mister Oogie Boogie
is the meanest guy around,
if I were on his boogie list
I'd get out of town.

Mister Oogie Boogie says
there’s trouble close at hand
you’d better pay attention now
I’m the Boogie man
And if you are’nt shakin’
there’s something very wrong
Cause this may be the last time
you here the Boogie song
Oh, oh, oh
Oogie boogie man
Well, if i’m feelin’ antsy
and I’ve nothin’ much to do
I might just cook a special batch
of snake and spider stew
And don;t you know the one thing
that would makei t work so nice
A roly pooly Sandy Claws to add a little Spice
Oh oh oh
Oogie boogie man
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
In this town we call home,
Ev’ryone hail to the pumpkin song
La la la etc.
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween!
