Lyrics - Poorjack by Burton Tim

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 themsomething 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 thesky
And at least
I left some stories they can tell,
Idid
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 willreally make them scream
And, by
God,
I'm really gonna give it all mymight
Uh oh,
I hope there's still time to set thingsright
Sandy
Claws, hmm
