The Nightmare Before Christmas - Poor Jack (Lyrics)

Poor Jack A song from The Nightmare Before Christmas Directed by Henry Selick Turn On the Subtitles for the Lyrics (and Enjoy) Lyrics 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
