Performed by Danny Elfman and Cast  CITIZENS OF HALLOWEEN  Something's up with jack  Something's up with jack  Don't know if we're ever going to get him back  He's all alone up there  Locked away inside  Never says a word  Hope he hasn't died  Something's up with jack  Something's up with jack  JACK  Christmas time is buzzing in my skull  Will it let me be? I cannot tell  There are so many things I cannot grasp  When I think I've got it, and then at last  Through my bony fingers it does slip  Like a snowflake in a fiery grip  Something's here I'm not quite getting  Though I try, I keep forgetting  Like a memory long since past  Here in an instant, gone in a flash  What does it mean?  What does it mean?  In these little bric-a-brac  A secret's waiting to be cracked  These dolls and toys confuse me so  Confound it all, I love it though  Simple objects, nothing more  But something's hidden through a door  Though I do not have the key  Something's there I cannot see  What does item?  What does it mean?  What does item?  Hmm...  I've read these Christmas books so many  times  I know the stories and I know the rhymes  I know the Christmas carols all by heart  My skull's so full, it's tearing me apart  As often as I've read them, something's wrong  So hard to put my bony finger on  Or perhaps it's really not as deep  As I've been led to think  Am I trying much too hard?  Of course! I've been too close to see  The answer's right in front of me  Right in front of me    It's simple really, very clear  Like music drifting in the air  Invisible, but everywhere  just because I cannot see it  Doesn't mean I can't believe it    You know, I think this Christmas thing  It's not as tricky as it seems  And why should they have all the fun?  lt should belong to anyone    Not anyone, in fact, but me  Why, I could make a Christmas tree  And there's no reason I can find  I couldn't handle Christmas time    I bet I could improve it too  And that's exactly what l'II do  Hee,hee,hee  Heureka! I've got it
