Poorjack - Lyrics by Burton Tim


Lyrics
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,
How could they ?
That all I ever wanted was to bring themsomething 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 thesky
And at least I left some stories they can tell, Idid
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 willreally make them scream
And, by God, I'm really gonna give it all mymight
Uh oh, I hope there's still time to set thingsright
Sandy Claws, hmm
