Mornin', gents!
Jack, you home?
Jack, I've got the plans|for next Halloween.
I need to go over them with you|so we can get started.
Jack, please! I'm only|an elected official here.
I can't make decisions by myself.
Jack, answer me!
- Huh?|- He's not home.
- Where is he?|- He hasn't been home all night.
Where are we?
It's someplace new!
What is this?
Whoa-oa-oa!
Whoa!
What's this, what's this|There's color everywhere
What's this|There's white things in the air
What's this, I can't believe my eyes|I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair|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
The streets are lined|with little creatures laughing|Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy|What is this
What's this
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
And in my bones|I feel the warmth
That's coming from inside
Oh, look, what's this|They're hanging mistletoe
They kiss, why that looks|so unique, inspired
They're gathering around|to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire|What's this
What's this 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've got electric lights on strings|and there's a smile on everyone
So now correct me if I'm wrong|This looks like fun, this looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish|What's this
Oh my, what now|The children are asleep
But look|There's nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here|to scream and scare them or ensnare them
Only little cozy things|secure inside their dreamland
What's this
The monsters are all missing|and the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems|to be good feeling all around
Instead of screams, I swear|I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies|are absolutely everywhere
The sights, the sounds|they're everywhere and all around
I've never felt so good before
This empty place|inside of me is filling up|I simply cannot get enough
I want it, oh, I want it|Oh, I want it for my own
I've got to know, I've got to know|what is this place that I have found
What is this
Christmas Town?
Hmm.
Ho-ho-ho-ho!
Ho-ho-ho-ho!
Hmm.
- This has never happened before.|- It's suspicious.
- It's peculiar.|- It's scary.
Stand aside. Coming through.
We've got to find Jack!
There's only 365 days left|till next Halloween!
Three sixty-four!
Is there anywhere|we've forgotten to check?
We opened the sarcophagi!
