Poor Jack
What have I done?What have I done?How could I be so blind?All is lost, where was I?Spoiled all, spoiled allEverything's gone all wrong
What have I done?What have I done?Find a deep cave to hide inIn a million years they'll find meOnly dust and a plaqueThat reads, "Here Lies Poor Old Jack"
But I never intended all this madness, neverAnd nobody really understood, how could they?That all I ever wanted was to bring them something greatWhy does nothing ever turn out like it should?
Well, what the heck, I went and did my bestAnd, my God, I really tasted something swell, that's rightAnd for a moment, why, I even touched the skyAnd at least I left some stories they can tell, I did
And for the first time since I don't remember whenI felt just like my old bony self againAnd I, Jack, the Pumpkin KingThat'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 ideasthat will really make them screamAnd, my God I'm really gonna give it all my mightUh oh, I hope there's still time to set things rightsandy Claws, hmm
