The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) Soundboard Edit

A bow but why how ugly!

A box is it steel are there locks is it filled with a pox a pox how delightful a pox

A one and a two and a three and

A second and honorable mention goes to the fabulous dark lagoon leeches

Aah! halloween's finest trick or treaters!

Absolutely no one is to know about it not a soul

Ah what's that worm's wart! mmm and frog's breath

Ah, what's that?

Ah! little harry and jordan

Ah. Coming!

All is lost

All right here you go boy

All together that and this with all our tricks we're making christmas time

All together that and this with all our tricks we're making christmas time (2)

Although i'd like to join the crowd in their enthusiastic cloud

Although the impostor has been shot down it looks like christmas will have to be canceled this year

Am I trying much too hard

An emptiness

And by god i'm really going to give it all my might

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

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 have grown so tired of the same old thing

And I jack the pumpkin king that's right I am the pumpkin king!

And I just can't wait until next halloween 'cause i've got some new ideas that will really make them scream

And I'm known throughout England and France

And i've also heard it told that he's something to behold

And if you aren't shakin' there's somethin' very wrong

And if you aren't shakin' there's somethin' very wrong 'cause this may be the last time you hear the boogie song

And in my bones I feel the warmth that's coming from inside

And jack said to make him comfortable didn't he

And nobody really understood well how could they that all I ever wanted was to bring them something great

And now with your permission i'm going to do my stuff

And on a dark cold night under full moonlight he flies into a fog like a vulture in the sky

And one more thing leave that no account oogie boogie out of this!

And since I am dead I can take off my head to recite shakespearean quotations

And the best I must confess I have saved for the last

And there's a smile on everyone so now correct me if i'm wrong this looks like fun this looks like fun

And there's no reason I can find I couldn't handle christmas time

And there's no reason I can find I couldn't handle Christmastime

And they call him sandy claws

And though i'd like to stand by him can't shake this feeling that I have

And to all a good night!

And we thought you didn't like us jack!

And what did santa bring you honey

And what did Santa bring you, honey?

And what is your name

And who would ever think And why

And why should they have all the fun it should belong to anyone

And why should they have all the fun It should belong to anyone

And will we ever end up together no I think not

Are you a gamblin' man sandy let's play!

Aren't you scared well that's just fine!

As often as i've read them something's wrong so hard to put my bony finger on

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

Attacked by christmas toys that's strange that's the second toy complaint we've had

Attacked by Christmas toys? That's strange. That's the second toy complaint we've had.

Attention attention citizens terrible news there's still no sign of santa claus

Authorities assure us that at this moment military units are mobilizing to stop the perpetrator of this heinous crime

Barrel

Be careful with sandy claws when you fetch him! treat him nicely!

Be so blind

Because Mr

Because mr oogie boogie is the meanest guy around if I were on his boogie list i'd get out of town

Bitter!

Bobby

Boys and girls of every age wouldn't you like to see something strange

Bumpy sleigh ride jack

Bumpy sleigh ride, Jack?

Bunny!

Bury him for 90 years then see if he talks

But I don't want to be patient

But I don't want to be patient!

But I never intended all this madness

But I never intended all this madness never

But it seems wrong to me very wrong

But there must be some mistake

But who here would ever understand that the pumpkin king with the skeleton grin would tire of his crown

But you must believe when I tell you this

But you must believe when I tell you this it's as real as my skull and it does exist

But you're the pumpkin king

Bye bye doll face and sandman!

Call a town meeting and i'll tell everyone all about it

Can't shake this feeling that I have

Careful my precious jewel

Christmas time is buzzing in my skull

Christmas town

Christmas town hmm

Christmas Town?

Come back here you foolish ow! oh!

Come back here, you foolish..

Come on into the lab and we'll get you all fixed up

Come on zero christmas isn't over yet

Come on, Zero. Christmas isn't over yet.

Come with us and you will see this our town of halloween

Coming!

Consider this a vacation sandy a reward it's your turn to take it easy

Consider though this substitute a bat in place of this old rat

Could it be I got my wish what's this

Curiosity killed the cat you know I know

Devastated the, the souls of the living?

Did anyone think to dredge the lake

Doctor I need to borrow some equipment

Doctor thank you for coming

Excellent igor

Fantastic!

Fast as we can ma'am

Fire!

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

For it is plain as anyone can see we're simply meant to be

For the ruler of this christmas land is a fearsome king with a deep mighty voice

For the story that you are about to be told took place in the holiday worlds of old

For the story that you are about to be told...

Forgive me mr claws i'm afraid i've made a terrible mess of your holiday

Four, five, six, seven.

Frog's breath will overpower any odor

Goes to the fabulous Dark Lagoon leeches

Good news folks santa claus the one and only has finally been spotted

Goodbye jack my dearest jack

Got it! we'll get it right next time!

Grab a hold my boy!

Great halloween everybody! I believe it was our most horrible yet

Halloween halloween halloween halloween

Haven't you heard of peace on earth and goodwill toward men no!

He can fit down here.

He sure is big jack and heavy!

He'll be so pleased by our success

He'll be so pleased by our success that he'll reward us too i'll bet

He'll be so pleased I do declare that he will cook him rare

He'll fix things jack he knows what to do

He's all alone up there locked away inside never says a word hope he hasn't died

He's all right let's shout make a fuss scream it out wee!

He's all right! it's jack!

He's ancient he's ugly I don't know which is worse

He's ancient, he's ugly I don't know which is worse

He's not home where is he he hasn't been home all night

He's setting things right bringing joy and cheer wherever he goes

Hear that what shhh!

Hello jack skellington!

Hello oogie

Hello police

Hello police (2)

Help! help!

Here comes jack!

Here in a flash and gone without a trace

Here in an instant gone in a flash

Here let me show you

Hmm experiments

Hmm their construction should be exceedingly simple I think

Ho ho ho!

Ho ho ho! (2)

Ho ho ho! happy halloween!

Ho! ho! ho!

Hold it! we haven't given out the prizes yet!

Hold on! where are we going now

How about it think you can you manage

How could it be

How dare you treat my friends so shamefully!

How did you get down here sally

How horrible our christmas will be

How perfectly marvelous!

I am the one hiding under your stairs fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

I am the shadow on the moon at night filling your dreams to the brim with fright

I am the who when you call who's there I am the wind blowing through your hair

I bet I could improve it too and that's exactly what i'll do

I can't believe my eyes

I don't believe what's happening to me

I feel so much better now!

I fully endorse it Let's try it at once

I fully endorse it let's try it at once

I had the most terrible vision

I have every confidence in you

I have swept the very bravest off their feet

I hope there's still time to fix christmas of course there is i'm santa claus!

I I was trying to well I wanted to to to help me I couldn't let you just

I knew it!

I knew this christmas thing was a bad idea I felt it in my gut

I know the Christmas carols all by heart

I know the christmas carols all by heart my skull's so full it's tearing me apart

I know!

I looked in every mausoleum

I looked in every mausoleum.

I might just split a seam now if I don't die laughin' first

I need to go over them with you so we can get started

I peeked behind the cyclops' eye I did but he wasn't there

I repeat the impostor has been shot down but there's still no sign of the real santa

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

I sense there's something in the wind that feels like tragedy's at hand

I think he might be too big! no he's not if he can go down a chimney he can fit down here!

I told you!

I tromped through the pumpkin patch

I want it oh I want it oh I want it for my own

I want to tell you about Christmas Town

I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb

I'll get you out of here

I'm afraid I've made a terrible mess of your holiday.

I'm conducting a series of experiments

I'm not hungry oops

I'm not in the mood.

I'm not the dumb one

I'm restless I can't help it

I'm restless. I can't help it.

I'm the master of fright

I'm the master of fright and a demon of light and i'll scare you right out of your pants

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience sir

I've got something listen now this one is real good you'll see

I've got to know i've got to know what is this place that i've found what is this

I've never felt so good before

I've read these christmas books so many times I know the stories and I know the rhymes

If they only understood he'd give it all up if he only could

If you please

If you please.

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 got electric lights on strings

In our town of Halloween

In our town of halloween I am the clown with the tear away face here in a flash and gone without a trace

In these little bric a brac a secret's waiting to be cracked

In this town Don't we love it now

In this town don't we love it now everybody's waiting for the next surprise

In this town don't we love it now everyone's waiting for the next surprise

In this town of halloween I am the one hiding under your bed teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

In this town we call home everyone hail to the pumpkin song

In this town we call home everyone hail to the pumpkin song (2)

Instead of screams I swear I can hear music in the air

Interesting reaction but what does it mean

Is a fearsome king with a deep, mighty voice

Is it rotted and covered with gook

Is that so whatever for

Is there anywhere we've forgotten to check

Isn't that wonderful it couldn't be more wonderful!

It goes something like this

It looks like Christmas will have to be cancelled this year.

It's a bat!

It's a mistake jack

It's a phase my dear it'll pass

It's a rat!

It's a world unlike anything i've ever seen and as hard as I tried I can't seem to describe like a most improbable dream

It's almost here and we can't wait so ring the bells and celebrate

It's boogie's boys

It's christmas time!

It's Christmastime

It's funny I'm laughin'

It's funny i'm laughin' you really are too much

It's great to be home!

It's hopeless you're finished you haven't got a prayer

It's hopeless, you're finished You haven't got a prayer

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

It's much more fun I must confess with lives on the line

It's never to become for I am not the one

It's ok zero head higher!

It's oogie's turn to boogie now

It's our town everybody scream

It's ours this time

It's ours this time (2)

It's ours this time and won't the children be surprised

It's ours this time And won't the children be surprised

It's over! we did it!

It's simple really very clear like music drifting in the air invisible but everywhere

It's someplace new

It's time to party

It's time to sound the alarms!

Jack answer me!

Jack has been blown to smithereens!

Jack I know how you feel

Jack I know you think something's missing but

Jack i've got the plans for next halloween

Jack is back now everyone sing 'in our town of halloween'

Jack look out!

Nothing's more suspicious than frog's breath

Nothing's more suspicious than frog's breath

Now don't be modest

Now in the box we'll wait and hide until his curiosity entices him to look inside and then we'll have him one two three

Now look what you've done! my bugs! my bugs!

Now pay attention

Now who could that be

Now why don't you all practice on that and we'll be in great shape!

Now you must go to the forest in the forest you will see a tree

Now you've probably wondered where holidays come from if you haven't i'd say it's time you begun!

Of course i've been too close to see the answer's right in front of me right in front of me

Of course! that's what i'm missing thanks

Oh brother you're something you put me in a spin you aren't comprehending the position that you're in

Oh ho ho! no

Oh how I hope my premonition is wrong

Oh how jolly our christmas will be

Oh i'm feeling weak with hunger!

Oh look what's this they're hanging mistletoe

Oh my head!

Oh my what now

Oh my, what now The children are asleep

Oh no we can't take off in this the reindeer can't see an inch in front of their noses

Oh somewhere deep inside of these bones an emptiness began to grow

Oh there's an empty place in my bones that calls out for something unknown

Oh wait

Oh well

Oh yes does it still have a foot let me see let me look

Oh, don't be silly.

Oh, gone again!

Oh, no! We can't take off in this

Oh, this morning.

Oh! Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Old saint nick appears to be traveling at supersonic speed

One more roll of the dice oughta do it!

One two three four five six seven!

Only dust and a plaque that reads here lies poor old jack

Only little cosy things secure inside their dreamland

Ooh hoo hoo hoo! Ha!

Ooh jack you make wounds ooze and flesh crawl!

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh i'm the oogie boogie man

Ooh!

Oooh! gone again!

Open it up! quickly!

Or perhaps it's really not as deep as i've been led to think

Our first award goes to the vampires for most blood drained in a single evening

Our man jack is king of the pumpkin patch

Our second and honorable mention...

Ow! Hmm

Ow! sorry

Patience everyone jack has a special job for each of you

Perfect!

Perfect! Open it up. Quickly!

Perhaps he'll make his special brew of snake and spider stew

Perhaps it's the head that I found in the lake

Perhaps they just spring out and scare girls and boys

Phew!

Place in my bones

Police I know a skeleton keep calm turn off the lights make sure doors are locked

Pop him in a boiling pot and when he's done we'll butter him up

Release me fast or you will have to answer for this heinous act

Release me now or you must face the dire consequences

Reports are pouring in from all over the globe that an impostor is shamelessly impersonating santa claus mocking and mangling this joyous holiday

Roasting chestnuts on a fire What's this

Round that corner man hiding in the trash cans something's waiting now to pounce and how you'll scream

Sally I can't believe I never realised that you

Sally I need your help more than anyone's

Sally sally!

Sally, I can't believe I never realized that you...

Sally! that soup ready yet

Sandy claws huh

Sandy claws huh ooh i'm really scared

Sandy claws in person what a pleasure to meet you!

Sandy Claws is behind the door shaped like this

Sandy claws is behind the door shaped like this

Sandy Claws, huh?

Sandy Claws, huh? Oooh, I'm really scared!

Sandy claws!

Santa merry christmas!

Santa!

Say it once say it twice take a chance and roll the dice ride with the moon in the dead of night

See how I transformed this old rat into a most delightful hat

See that he's comfortable

Seven!

Shall we then

She's the only one who makes any sense around this insane asylum!

Shock

Shut up! make me

Simple objects nothing more but something's hidden through a door though I do not have the key

Skeleton jack might catch you in the back and scream like a banshee make you jump out of your skin

Skeletons and boogie men!

Small toys do they bite do they snap or explode in the sack

So long jack!

So long, Jack.

So you're the one everybody's talkin' about

So you're the one everybody's talkin' about.

Something here i'm not quite getting though I try I keep forgetting like a memory long since past

Something's here I cannot see what does it mean what does it mean

Something's up with jack something's up with jack

Something's up with jack something's up with jack don't know if we're ever going to get him back

Spoiled all everything's gone all wrong

Stand aside coming through

Sticks and mice get wrapped up so nice with spider legs and pretty bows

Surprised aren't you I knew you would be

Susie yes susie's been nice nice nice

Take him back!

Take him home first and apologise again!

Take him home first! And apologize again

Tender lumplings everywhere

Tender lumplings everywhere life's no fun without a good scare

Terrible news folks! the worst tragedy of our times!

Terrible news. There's still no sign of Santa Claus.

Terrible terrible news!

Thank you everyone

Thank you thank you thank you very much!

That all I ever wanted was to bring them something great

That an impostor is shamelessly impersonating Santa Claus...

That he'll reward us too I'll bet

That is so i've heard it said

That special kind of feeling in Christmasland

That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin

That's all right I have a special present for you anyway there you go sonny

That's coming from inside

That's not my christmas my christmas is filled with laughter and joy and this!

That's not sandy claws it isn't who is it

That's not the point of Christmasland

That's our job but we're not mean in our town of halloween

That's splendid!

That's twice this month you've slipped deadly nightshade into my tea and run off three times

The better to light my way!

The children are asleep but look there's nothing underneath no ghouls no witches here to scream and scare them or ensnare them

The children are expecting me so please come to your senses

The deadly nightshade you slipped me wore off sally

The door is open!

The fame and praise come year after year does nothing for these empty tears

The job I have for you is top secret it requires craft cunning mischief

The king of halloween has been blown to smithereens! skeleton jack is now a pile of dust!

The monsters are all missing and the nightmares can't be found and in their place there seems to be good feeling all around

The next time you get the urge to take over someone else's holiday i'd listen to her

The sights the sounds they're everywhere and all around

The smell of cakes and pies are absolutely everywhere

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

The worst is just around the bend

Then mr oogie boogie man can take the whole thing over then

There are few who deny at what I do I am the best for my talents are renowned far and wide

There go all of my hopes my precious plans my glorious dreams

There goes christmas

There isn't anywhere in the whole world more comfortable than that

There was smoke and fire!

There were objects so peculiar they were not to be believed all around things to tantalize my brain

There're so many things I cannot grasp

There's children throwing snowballs instead of throwing heads

There's children throwing snowballs instead of throwing heads they're busy building toys and absolutely no one's dead

There's frost in every window oh I can't believe my eyes

There's got to be a logical way to explain this christmas thing

There's no foot inside but there's candy or sometimes it's filled with small toys

There's only 365 days left till next halloween!

There's something out there far from my home a longing that i've never known

These dolls and toys confuse me so confound it all I love it though

These dolls and toys confuse me so Confound it all, I love it though

They kiss why that looks so unique inspired

They're celebrating! they're thanking us for doing such a good job!

They're gathering around hearing stories roasting chestnuts on a fire what's this

They're trying to hit us! zero!

Think of us as you soar triumphantly through the sky outshining every star your silhouette a dark blot on the moon

This can't be happening!

This device is called a nutcracker

This empty place inside of me is filling up I simply cannot get enough

This fog's as thick as jellied brains or thicker!

This has never happened before it's suspicious it's peculiar it's scary!

This is a thing called a present the whole thing starts with a box

This is halloween everybody make a scene trick or treat till the neighbor's gonna die of fright

This is halloween everybody scream

This is halloween halloween halloween halloween

This is halloween red and black and slimy green

This is Halloween This is Halloween

This is halloween this is halloween halloween halloween halloween halloween

This is halloween this is halloween halloween halloween halloween halloween (2)

This is halloween this is halloween halloween halloween halloween halloween (3)

Throw away the key and then turn off all the lights

Wait, I've got a better plan to catch this big red lobster man

Wasn't it terrifying

We opened the sarcophagi

We pick up an oversized sock and hang it like this on the wall

We went through the door

We'll have conversations worth having!

We'll send a present to his door upon there'll be a note to read

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

We're off!

We've got to find jack

Well at least they're excited but they don't understand that special kind of feeling in christmas land

Well come on bone man!

Well I may as well give them what they want

Well well well what have we here

Well, at least they're excited

Well, how could they

What a joy to think of all we'll have in common.

What does it mean what does it mean

What have I done find a deep cave to hide in in a million years they'll find me

What have I done how could I be so blind

What is this

What is this?

What kind of noise is that for a baby to make perhaps it can be improved no problem!

What snake eyes

What the

What will become of my dear friend where will his actions lead us then

What you try to make a dupe out of me

What's in it that's the point of the thing not to know

What's that you were sayin' about luck rag doll

What's this

What's this

What's this (2)

What's this I can't believe my eyes I must be dreaming wake up jack this isn't fair

What's this in here They've got a little tree, how queer

What's this it's really very strange

What's this must be a christmas thing

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

What's this what's this

What's this What's this

What's this what's this I haven't got a clue

What's this what's this there's color everywhere what's this there's white things in the air

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 why it's completely new

What's this, I can't believe my eyes I must be dreaming

What's this, what's this There's color everywhere

What's wrong I i thought you liked frog's breath

Whatever you say jack of course jack wouldn't dream of it jack

When he sets out to sleigh with his rain gear on carting bulging sacks with his big great arms

When I think I've got it and then at last

When I think i've got it then at last through my bony fingers it does slip like a snowflake in a fiery grip

When immediately!

When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night I excel without ever even trying

When mr oogie boogie says there's trouble close at hand you'd better pay attention now 'cause i'm the boogie man

Where am i

Where am I?

Where are we

Where are we taking him to oogie boogie of course

Where did they take that sandy claws

Where have you been

Where was i

Where we can gaze into the stars and sit together now and for ever

Where'd you spot him

Which door there's more than one

Who else is clever enough to make my sandy claws outfit

Who's next on my list

Who's next on my list?

Whoa!

Whoa! careful down there you almost hit us!

Whoa! It's Jack!

Why does nothing ever turn out like it should

Why you have hands you don't have claws at all!

Will it bend

Will it break

Will it let me be I cannot tell

Will it let me be I cannot tell

With a wave of my hand and a well placed moan I have swept the very bravest off their feet

With all our tricks we're making Christmastime

With all our tricks we're making Christmastime

With spider legs and pretty bows

With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms I have seen grown men give out a shriek

Won't they be impressed I am a genius

Won't they be surprised

Won't you please make way for a very special guy

Worm's wart where's that worm's wart

Would you please make way for a very special guy

Yeah I guess so just like last year and the year before that and the year before that

Yes folks kris kringle has pulled it out of the bag and delivered christmas to excited children all over the world

Yes he did

Yes I am

Yet year after year it's the same routine and I grow so weary of the sound of screams

You aren't comprehending the position that you're in

You can come out now if you promise to behave

You can make other creations

You certainly do jack

You don't look like yourself jack not at all!

You don't need to have another worry about christmas this year

You just can't

You know I think this christmas thing is not as tricky as it seems

You made walls fall jack! walls fall you made the very mountains crack jack!

You wait till jack hears about this by the time he's through with you you'll be lucky

You want me to starve an old man like me who hardly has strength as it is

You who are our pride you who are our glory you who have frightened millions into an early grave

You who have devastated the souls of the living!

You will be a decided improvement over that treacherous sally

You're coming with me! no i'm not!

You're jokin' me, you gotta be This can't be the right guy

You're jokin' you're jokin' I can't believe my ears would someone shut this fella up i'm drownin' in my tears

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

You're mine you know I made you with my own hands!

You're no fun

You're not ready for so much excitement

You're right something is missing but what i've got the beard the coat the boots the belt

You're so stupid think now if we blow him up to smithereens we may lose some pieces and then jack will beat us black and green

You're such a scream jack! you're a witch's fondest dream!

You're welcome one and all!

You've come back I had to for this! yes

You've poisoned me for the last time you wretched girl!

Your christmas assignment is ready

Zero, I'm home!

Zero!

Zero! i'm home!

Consider though this substitute a bat in place of this old rat Huh!

Hello, Oogie

Help! One, two, three..

Hmm

It's a bat Will it bend It's a rat Will it break

It's great to be home! Ho ho ho ho!

Jack, Jack, this time we bagged him

Making Christmas Making Christmas Making Christmas

Or sometimes it's filled with small toys Small toys

Something's waiting now to pounce and how you'll Scream

That's our job But we're not mean

Uh, uh, uh, uh... That's all right.

Wasn't it terrifying? What a night!

'Cause I'm a gamblin' boogie man although I don't play fair

'cause i'm mr oogie boogie and you ain't goin' nowhere

'cause when the full moon starts to climb we'll all sing out

'Round that corner, man Hiding in the trash can

'twas a long time ago longer now than it seems in a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams

(alarm sounding)

(all chattering indistinctly)

(all laughing)

(barking)

(barks)

(bells ringing)

(boogie man roaring)
