Lyrics[]

Jack Skellington:

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 on 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 (sigh)

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?!

(spoken) Christmas Town? Hmm...

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 on 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?

Oh, I want it for my own
