CITIZENS OF HALLOWEEN
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
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 quite 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 there I cannot see
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Hmm...
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
Hee,hee,hee
Eureka! I've got it
Jack's Obsession
[LOCK, SHOCK & BARREL]
Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws...
[LOCK]
I wanna do it!
[BARREL]
Let's draw straws!
[SHOCK]
Jack said we should work together
Three of a kind
[LOCK, SHOCK & BARREL]
Birds of a feather
Now and forever
Wheeee
La, la, la, la, la
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, lock him up real tight
Throw away the key and then
Turn off all the lights
[SHOCK]
First, we're going to set some bait
Inside a nasty trap and wait
When he comes a-sniffing we will
Snap the trap and close the gate
[LOCK]
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
[LOCK, SHOCK & BARREL]
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Throw him in a box
Bury him for ninety years
Then see if he talks
[SHOCK]
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
[LOCK, SHOCK & BARREL]
Wheeee!
[OOGIE BOOGIE] Oooooohooo! Yum,yum,yum,yum
[LOCK]
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
[SHOCK]
You're so stupid, think now
If we blow him up into smithereens
We may lose some pieces
And the Jack will beat us black and green
[LOCK, SHOCK & BARREL]
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Tie him in a bag
Throw him in the ocean
Then see if he is sad
[LOCK & SHOCK]
Because Mr. Oogie Boogie is the meanest guy around
If I were on his Boogie list, I'd get out of town
[BARREL]
He'll be so pleased by our success
That he'll reward us too, I'll bet
[LOCK, SHOCK & BARREL]
Perhaps he'll make his special brew
Of snake and spider stew
Mmmmmm!
We're his little henchmen
And we take our job with pride
We do our best to please him
And stay on his good side
[SHOCK]
I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb
[BARREL]
I'm not the dumb one
[LOCK]
You're no fun
[SHOCK]
Shut up!
[LOCK
Make me
[SHOCK]
I've got something, listen now
This one is real good, you'll see
We'll send a present to his door
Upon there'll be a note to read
Now, in the box we'll wait and hide
[LOCK, SHOCK & BARREL]
Until his curiousity
Entices him to look inside
And then we'll have him
One, two, three
[LOCK, SHOCK & BARREL]
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, beat him with a stick
Lock him 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!!!
Ha,ha,ha,ha!
[OOGIE BOOGIE] Sandy Claws.....
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Oogie Boogie:
Well, well, well, what have we here?
Sandy Claws huh?
Oh, I'm really scared
So you're the one everybody's talkin' about, ha, ha
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.
When Mr. Oogie boogie says
There's trouble close at hand
You'd better pay attention now
'Cause I'm the boogie Man.
And if you aren't shakin'
then there's something very wrong
'Cause this may be the last time you hear the boogie song, ohhh.
Three Bats: Ohhh
Oogie Boogie: Ohhh
Seven Lizards: Ohhh
Oogie Boogie: Ohhh
Seven Lizards: Ohhh, he's the Oogie Boogie Man
Oogie Boogie:
Well if I'm feelin' ansty
And there's nothin' much to do
I might just cook a special batch
Of snake and spider stew.
And don't ya know one thing
That would make it so nice?
A roly-poly Sandy Claws to add a little spice.
Three Skeletons: Ohhh
Oogie Boogie: Oh yeah
Three Bats: Ohhh
Oogie Boogie: Ohhh
Three Bats: Ohhh
Oogie Boogie and Three Skeletons: Oh yeah, I'm (he's) the Boogie Man
Santa:
Release me now
Or you must face the dire consequences
The children are expecting me
So please, come to your senses
Oogie Boogie:
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
Santa: What are you going to do?
Oogie Boogie: I'm going to do the best I can
(Musical Interlude)
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 coursebut yours, old boy
Now that'd be just fine.
Santa: Release me fast or you'll have to answer for this heinous act
Oogie Boogie:
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 prayer
'Cause I;m Mr. Oogie Boogie
And you ain't goin' nowhere
Oogie Boogie's Song
Jack
Listen, 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
Harlequin demon
A box?
Devil
Is it steel?
Werewolf
Are there locks?
Harleouin demon
Is it filled with a pox?
Devil, werewolf, harlequin demon
A pox
How delightful, a pox
Jack
If you please
Just a box with bright-colored paper
And the whole thing's topped with a bow
Witches
A bow?
But why?
How ugly
What's in it?
What's in it?
Jack
That's the point of the thing, not to know
Clown
It's a bat
Will it bend?
Creature under the stairs
It's a rat
Will it break?
Undersea gal
Perhaps it s the head that I found in the lake
Jack
Listen now, you don't understand
That's not the point of Christmas land
Now, pay attention
Now we pick up an oversized sock
And hang it like this on the wall
Mr. Hyde
Oh, yes! Does it still have a foot?
Medium mr. Hyde
Let me see, let me look
Small mr. Hyde
Is it rotted and covered with gook?
Jack
Hmm, let me explain
There's no foot inside, but there's candy
Or sometimes it's filled with small toys
Mummy and winged demon
Small toys
Winged demon
Do they bite?
Mummy
Do they snap?
Winged demon
Or explode in a sack?
Corpse kid
Or perhaps they just spring out
And scare girls and boys
Mayor
What a splendid idea
This Christmas sounds fun
Why, I fully endorse it
Let's try it at once
Jack
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 this 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...
Town Meeting Song
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 here
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 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 little cozy 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 feeling 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 eveywhere 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?
(BANG)
Christmas Town? Hmm...
What's This?
