Won't they be impressed, I am a genius
See how I transform the old rat
Into a most delightful hat

[JACK]
Hmm, my compliments from me to you
On this your most intriguing hst
Consider though this substitute
A bat in place of this old rat
Huh! No, no, no, now that's all wrong
This thing will never make a present
It's been dead for much too long
Try something fresher, something pleasant
Try again, don't give up

'Cause when the full monn starts to climb
We'll all sing out

OOGIE BOOGIE'S SONG

[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 knoe 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 something's very wrong
'Cause this may be the last time now
That 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' antsy
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 work so nice?
A roly-poly Sandy Claws to add a little spice

[THREE SKELTONS]
Ohhh

[OOGIE BOOGIE]
Oh, yeah

[THREE BATS]
Ohhh

[OOGIE BOOGIE]
Ohhh

[THREE BATS]
Ohhh

[OOGIE BOOGIE & THREE SKELETONS]
Oh, yeah, I'm/he's the Oogie Boogie Man

[SANTA]
Release me now
Or you must face the dire consequences
The children are expexting 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 gonna do the best I can

Oh, the sound of rollin' dice
To me is music in the aor
'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 course, but yours, old boy
Now that'd be just fine

[SANTA]
Release me fast or you will 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 a prayer
'Cause I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie
And you ain't going nowhere


SALLY'S SONG

[SALLY]
I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend

And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be

What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last

And will we ever end up together?
no, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one


POOR JACK

[JACK]
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 aold 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 Godm I'm really gonna give it all my might
Uh oh, I hope there's still time to set things right
Sandy Claws, hmmm


FINALE

[CHORUS]
La, la, la (etc)
Jack's OK, and he's back, OK

[CORPSE KID & CHORUS]
He's all right

[MAYOR & CHORUS]
Let's shout, make a fuss
Scream it out, wheee

[CHORUS]
Jack is back now, everyone sing
In our town of Halloween

[CORPSE KID]
What's this?

[MUMMY]
What's this?

[HARLEQUIN DEMON]
I haven't got a clue

[MR. HYDE]
What's this?

[CLOWN]
What it's completely new

[OFF-SCREEN VOICE]
What's this?

[WEREWOLF]
Must be a Christmas thing

[OFF-SCREEN VOICE]
What's this?

[MAYOR]
It's really very strange

[CHORUS]
This is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

What's this?
What's this?
[Repeat]

[JACK]
My dearest friend, if you don't mind
I'd like to join you by your side
Where we can gaze into the stars

[JACK & SALLY]
And sit together, now and forever
For it is plain as anyone can see
We're simply meant to be
