Poorjack 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 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

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 
Sandy Claws, hmm
