Performed by Danny Elfman

There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am

the best

For my talents are renowned far and wide

When it comes to surprises in the moonlit

night

I excel without ever even trying

With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike

charms

I have seen grown men give out a shriek

With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed

moan

I have swept the very bravest off their feet

Yet year after year, it's the same routine

And I grow so weary of the sound of screams

And I, jack, the Pumpkin King

Have grown so tired of the same old thing

Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones

An emptiness began to grow

There's something out there, far from my

home

A Ionging that I've never known

I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light

And l'II scare you right out of your pants

To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky

And I'm known throughout England and

France

And since I am dead, I can take off my head

To recite Shakespearean quotations

No animal nor man can scream like I can

With the fury of my recitations

But who here would ever understand

That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin

Would tire of his crown, if they only

understood

He'd give it all up if he only could

Oh, there's an empty place in my bones

That calls out for something unknown

The fame and praise come year after year

Does nothing for these empty tears
