Lyrics:
JackTere were objects so perculiar
They were not to be belived
All around, things to tanalize my brain
It's a world unlike anything i've ever seen
And as hard as I try
I can't seem to describle
Like a most improbable dream
But you must believe when I tell you this
It's as real as my skull and it does exist
Here,let me show you
This is a thing called a present
The whole thing starts with a box
Devil
A box?
Is it steel?
Werewolf
Are there locks?
Devil,Werewolf,Harlequin Demon
A pox
How delightful, a pox
Jack
If you please
Just a box with bright-colored paper
And the whole thing's topped with a bow
Witches
A bow?
But why?
What's in it?
What's in it?
Jack
That's the point of the thing,not to know
Clown
It's a bat
Will it bend ?
Creature under the stairs
It's a rat
Wil it break ?
Undersea galPerhaps it's the that I found in the lake
Jack
Listen now ,you don't understand
That's not the point of christmas land
Now,pay attention
Now we pick up an oversized sock
And hang it like this on the wall
Mr.hyde
Oh,yes! Does it still have a foot
Medium Mr.Hyde
Let me see ,let me look
Small MR.Hyde
Is it rotted and covered With gook ?
Jack
Hmmmm,let me explain
There's no foot inside,but there's candy
Or sometimes it's filled with small toys
Mummy and winged demon
Small toys
Winged demon
Do they bit?
Mummy
Do they snap?
Windged demon
Or explode in a snak ?
Corpse kid
OR perphaps they just spring out
And scare girls and boys
Mayor
What a splendid idea
This christmas sounds fun
Why,I fully endorse it
Let's try it at once
Jack
Everyone ,please now, not so fast
There's something there that you don't quite grasp
Well, I may as well give them what they want
And the best ,I must confess ,I have saved for the last
For the ruler of this christmas land
Is a fearsome king with a deep mighty voice
Least that's what I've come to understand
And I've also heard it told
That he's something to behold
Like a lobster,huge and red
And sets out to slay with his big great arms
That is,so I've heard it said
And on a dark ,cold night
Under full moonlight
He flies into a fog
Like a vulture in the sky
And they call him Sandy Claws
Well,at least they're excited
Though they don't understand
That speacial kind of feeling in Christmas land
Oh,well.......
