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, you know, 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, you know, I'm really gonna give it all my might
Uh oh, I hope there's still time to set things right
Sandy Claws, hmm

I normally prefer the original over the covers more so when it goes from animation or in this case stop motion to live action but the way he captures how jack moves is great and his laugh and voice and the end is perfect for someone that rule Halloween

Hi

[@McintyreGhost13]

Stoooop you’re amazing!!!!!! 😭

[@denisenielsen6890]

1:39 the jump and music is insane

[@nicholastosoni707]

I would honestly love to see _Nightmare LIve_ one day, with with performers interacting with the movie---there's a slide which comes down stage left, which Jack uses on "What's This?" and which Santa tumbles down on for "Oogie's Song," and with a hill at the bottom of the stage going down into the pit so that Jack/Jack and Sally can be illuminated by the moon in the exact same spot as their animated counterparts.

His movements are so perfect for the character.

[@workingwithlemons]

Thanks! We had fun figuring it out!

[@kedmonds2123]

Woah this was super great!!

[@bon-bonlim8025]

I never hear Jack saying "What The Heck", This is my first time that he said what the heck.

[@taramccormick4042]

he says it in the original the only thing he missed was right after jack says "at least I left some stories they can tell" he didn't say "I did" like the original does but other than that the song is spot on

[@pinkmermaid8902]

Why did he change the lyrics? I don't mind and it's not a problem, just wondering.
