[00:00.00]Town Meeting Song - Danny Elfman (丹尼·叶夫曼)
[01:13.88]Listen
[01:14.90]
[01:18.24]There were objects so peculiar
[01:21.61]
[01:24.96]They were not to be believed
[01:28.36]
[01:30.58]All around things to tantalize my brain
[01:35.21]
[01:37.58]My brain
[01:38.88]
[01:41.06]It's a world unlike anything I've ever seen
[01:45.44]
[01:50.05]And as hard as I try
[01:52.05]
[01:53.88]I can't seem to describe
[01:55.95]
[01:58.04]Like a most improbable dream
[02:02.64]
[02:04.73]Improbable dream
[02:06.33]
[02:08.97]But you must believe when I tell you this
[02:12.06]It's as real as my skull and it does exist
[02:15.18]
[02:18.53]Here let me show you
[02:20.33]
[02:22.58]This is a thing called a present
[02:27.05]
[02:29.40]The whole thing starts with a box
[02:33.81]
[02:36.70]A box
[02:37.22]
[02:38.13]Is it steel
[02:39.02]
[02:39.88]Are there locks
[02:40.64]
[02:41.74]Is it filled with a pox
[02:43.07]
[02:45.16]A pox
[02:45.69]
[02:46.63]How delightful a pox
[02:51.49]
[02:56.29]If you please
[02:57.10]
[02:57.82]Just a box with bright-colore paper
[03:00.74]And the whole thing's topped with a bow
[03:03.49]
[03:07.05]A bow
[03:10.29]
[03:12.79]But why
[03:13.84]
[03:16.45]How ugly
[03:19.11]
[03:23.75]What's in it
[03:27.38]
[03:28.91]What's in it
[03:32.90]
[03:34.77]That's the point of the thing not to know
[03:37.60]
[03:39.83]It's a bat
[03:40.46]
[03:41.25]Will it bend
[03:42.02]
[03:43.18]It's a rat
[03:43.81]
[03:44.67]Will it break
[03:45.36]
[03:46.77]Perhaps it's the head that I found in the lake
[03:55.04]
[03:58.52]Listen now you don't understand
[04:01.72]
[04:05.59]That's not the point of Christmas land
[04:08.31]
[04:10.10]Now pay attention
[04:11.26]
[04:13.41]We pick up an oversized sock
[04:15.61]
[04:17.48]And hang it like this on the wall
[04:21.77]
[04:26.31]Oh yes Does it still have a foot
[04:29.40]
[04:33.34]Let me see let me look
[04:35.53]
[04:40.15]Is it rotted and covered with gook
[04:43.72]
[04:46.57]Hmm let me explain
[04:49.20]
[04:53.32]There's no foot inside but there's candy
[04:56.72]
[04:58.93]Or sometimes it's filled with small toys
[05:11.39]
[05:26.96]Small toys
[05:29.29]
[05:31.93]Do they bite
[05:33.55]
[05:34.30]Do they snap
[05:36.74]
[05:37.36]Or explode in a sack
[05:43.07]
[05:44.35]Or perhaps they just spring out
[05:50.38]
[05:51.07]And scare girls and boys
[05:56.52]What a splendid idea
[05:57.57]
[05:58.48]This Christmas sounds fun
[06:00.15]
[06:00.85]Why I full endorse it
[06:02.85]
[06:03.57]Let's try it at once
[06:04.97]
[06:08.58]Everyone please not so fast
[06:11.74]There's something here that you don't quite grasp
[06:15.04]Well I may as well give them what they want
[06:18.49]And the best I must confess I have saved for the last
[06:21.62]
[06:23.53]For the ruler of this Christmas land
[06:25.38]Is a fearsome king with a deep mighty voice
[06:28.60]
[06:29.64]Least that's what I've come to understand
[06:32.74]
[06:35.31]And I've also heard it told
[06:37.49]That he's something to behold
[06:39.16]Like a lobster huge and red
[06:41.65]
[06:42.85]And he sets out to slay with his rain gear on
[06:46.03]Carting bulging sacks with his big great arms
[06:49.12]
[06:51.01]And on a dark cold night
[06:52.65]
[06:54.54]Under full moonlight
[06:56.66]He flies into a fog
[06:57.86]
[06:59.61]Like a vulture in the sky
[07:02.62]
[07:03.30]And they call him Sandy Claws
[07:13.87]
[07:45.77]Well at least they're excited
[07:48.99]
[07:54.33]But they don't understand
[07:56.00]
[07:59.37]That special kind of feeling in Christmas land
[08:04.69]
[08:06.05]Oh well
[08:07.00]
[08:09.37]Oh well
