[00:00.00]Town Meeting Song (From “The Nightmare Before Christmas”/Soundtrack Version) - Cast - The Nightmare Before Christmas/Danny Elfman
[00:00.17]Lyrics by：Danny Elfman
[00:00.34]Composed by：Danny Elfman
[00:00.51]Listen everyone
[00:02.44]There were object so peculiar
[00:04.16]They were not to be believed
[00:05.67]All around things to tantalize my brain
[00:09.24]It's a world unlike anything I've ever seen
[00:12.69]And as hard as I try
[00:14.81]I can't seem to describe
[00:16.18]Like a most improbable dream
[00:19.87]But you must believe when I tell you this
[00:23.37]It's as real as my skull and it does exist
[00:28.80]Here let me show you
[00:33.00]This is a thing called a present
[00:35.23]The whole thing starts with a box
[00:37.24]A box
[00:38.37]Is it steel
[00:38.90]Are there locks
[00:39.86]Is it filled with a pox
[00:41.00]A pox
[00:41.86]Very delightful a pox
[00:43.14]If you please
[00:44.78]Just a box with bright-colored paper
[00:47.46]And the whole thing's topped with a bow
[00:50.14]A bow
[00:50.93]But why
[00:51.55]How ugly
[00:52.20]What's in it
[00:52.66]What's in it
[00:53.48]That's the point of the thing not to know
[00:55.11]It's a bat
[00:56.05]Will it bend
[00:56.66]It's a rat
[00:57.28]Will it break
[00:57.87]Perhaps it's the head that I found in the lake
[01:00.71]Listen now you don't understand
[01:03.38]That's not the point of Christmas land
[01:07.07]Now pay attention
[01:08.53]Now we pick up an over-sized sock
[01:11.02]And hang it like this on the wall
[01:13.40]Oh yes does it still have a foot
[01:15.57]Let me see let me look
[01:16.77]Is it rotted and covered with gook
[01:18.61]Hmm let me explain
[01:20.54]There's no foot inside but there's candy
[01:23.42]Or sometimes it's filled with small toys
[01:25.33]Small toys
[01:26.03]Do they bite
[01:26.46]Do they snap
[01:27.09]Or explode in a sack
[01:28.52]Or perhaps they just spring out
[01:29.79]And scare girls and boys
[01:30.95]What a splendid idea
[01:32.41]This Christmas sounds fun
[01:33.64]Why I fully endorse it
[01:34.99]Let's try it at once
[01:36.70]Everyone please now not so fast
[01:39.03]There's something here that you don't quite grasp
[01:43.43]Well I may as well give them what they want
[01:46.78]And the best I must confess I have saved for the last
[01:50.38]For the ruler of this Christmas land
[01:53.85]Is a fearsome King with a deep mighty voice
[01:57.32]Least that's what I've come to understand
[02:00.82]And I've also heard it told
[02:02.62]That's he's something to behold
[02:04.28]Like a lobster huge and red
[02:07.81]And sets out to slay with his rain gear on
[02:11.41]Carting bulging sacks with his big great arms
[02:14.97]That is so I've heard it said
[02:18.31]And on a dark cold night
[02:20.15]Under full moonlight
[02:22.06]He flies into a fog
[02:23.81]Like a vulture in the sky
[02:27.94]And they call him Sandy Claws
[02:39.63]Well at least they're excited
[02:42.40]But they don't understand
[02:44.80]That special kind of feeling in Christmas land
[02:50.01]Oh well
