LYRICS
What have I done?
What have I done?
How could I be so blind?
All is lost, where was I?
Spoiled all, spoiled all
Everything's gone all wrong
What have I done?
What have I done?
Find a deep cave to hide in
In a million years they'll find me
Only dust and a plaque
That reads, 'Here Lies Poor Old Jack"
But I never intended all this madness, never
And nobody really understood, how could they?
That all I ever wanted was to bring them something great
Why does nothing ever turn out like it should?
Well, what the heck, I went and did my best
And, by god, I really tasted something swell
And for a moment, why, I even touched the sky
And at least I left some stories they can tell, I did
And for the first time since I don't remember when
I felt just like my old bony self again
And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
That'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 ideas that will really make them scream
And, by God, I'm really gonna give it all my might
Uh oh, I hope there's still time to set things right
Sandy Claws, hmm
My favourite bit is "Why does nothing ever turn out like it should? Well, what the heck. I went and did my best and, by God, I really tasted something swell!
Elfman has an AMAZING vocal range. Obviously a baritone, but he can apparently go from that low G in "...poor old Jack..." up to a screaming high C in "...touch the sky!" No other singer could ever sing that character as perfectly.
When u fail the final exam but still pass the class
every single year in school.
Been there
Same
Am I the only one that loves the way he sings the word "Halloween" in this song?
no. I do too
Same
Fun fact: The part where it says “Well, What the heck” was actually supposed to say “ Well, What the hell”. This was removed because Tim Burton wanted to make this kid friendly
I would prefer him saying well what the hell
"And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
That's right! I am the Pumpkin King, ha, ha, ha"
Ok I'm weird that gave me chills.
I love his voice!!! *Fangirl scream* everytime he laughs, I get chills!!!!
This entire soundtrack is to die for 💀☠️⚰️🎶🎵🎧
such a passionate voice....seriously he should go into musical theatre!
no way, that part is the best. it gets all intense and shit. thats why this is my favorite song from this movie, just cause that ending part
“And I JACK, The pumpkin king….that’s right I am the pumpkin king AHAHHAAAAAHAAHAAHAAAAA”
This has got to be one of my top favorite songs in the movie.
And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King. That's right, I AM THE PUMPKIN KING!!!!!!!
Conviently, there was an underground cellar path where he crashed landed.
Apparently all graveyards serve as a portal to Halloween Town.
it would make sense. maybe that's how jack got back from Christmas towm
Tim Buton always has his friend Danny Elfman compose all the music for all of his movies. He's also famous for writing the melody to the simpson's theme song
This is so great. One of favourite songs in the movie
This was the only song I could never learn when I was little lol. All the rest I could sing without the movie lol
this is the music I sing when I have a bad grade on a test...
omg this song pumps me the fuck up!
Thank you. What's with all these people thinking this band could hold a candle to Mr. Elfman's amazing talents?
He's the composer and Jack's singing voice. That's it. Oh, and I think he voices either Lock or Barrel. Not sure which.
The deep part is life
Danny is amazing
pfft slender could only wish he was as amazing as jack
00:00 That moment Seth McFarlane realizes what he’s done to Family Guy’s later seasons.
omg tim burton is my idol i love his work ^-^
I wish I could be half as optimistic as jack. Like man literally traumatized thousands of children and just says what the heck
so true
It is a different version, pay attention when he says "I never intended all this madness... never !"
so powerful! XD I love this song!!!!!
my favorite part is 1:10 and 1:25
same
My favorite part is the whole thing
1:26 my favorite part
Me Too
This is better than the movie one
I believe this is from the VHS version. But I agree, it feels more emotional than the DVD release.
Danny Elfmaaaan
that's the best part of the song!
Dude, this song totally pulled out of my funk! Thanks for uploading this! ^^
I love this song
Is it just me or does he sound a little bit like Will Ferrell when he says "That's right!"?
You had chills because of this song is full of epicness. That's normal. It does that to everybody. :p
It's ok, that part always get my ''evil master of the universe'' mojo going
Still my favorite sence

Ah, thanks.

0`50 - 0;58 favorite part
or the line "but i never intended all this madness EVER!" listen to the EVER / never (:
@TheNightcloudHATER they did in the vcr version ... i had it then the player broke so i now have the dvd and now PISSED
no no no! :D the way he sings it is VERY different! try listen carefully! there is alot of parts I could point out, but just for an example! listen to the lyric "In a million years they'll find me..." in this version and the movie version (: then you'll see what i mean :P
this song rimes me of a girl at my school that I thought could be friends with but she does not like me this song means something to me.
Raped already the replay button
@TheNightcloudHATER they did use it in the film it's the scene where jack has just been shot out the sky and he's lying in the graveyard. (:
@rockinamber18 Nope :) In the album itself it lists the song as "Poor Jack."
no, this is from the movie. In the Graveyard scene after he gets shot down.
cause they always make a version for the soundtrack cd that is just the song without the sounds from the movie
its not completely different, just a little different for the soundtrack, cause the movie version has atmospheric sounds to blend in with the movie, i know that sometimes the movie version is better, but its not my decision, it's the director's
my fave is oogie's hes a hero :L
I thought this song was called "what have I done"
The used it in the VCR version
Also Elfman.
This is the version from the movie it's just an official recording but yeah a lot of amazing tracks like background music that is in the movie is not in the soundtrack I hate it! But this is the official recording from the movie.
2021?!
Not that I don´t understand how you feel but... Yes it´s wrong, but only a little bit ;)
that dont always work
Well it's not the atmospheric sounds i talk about.. it's the song it'self... the vocal melody is completly diffrent from the movie version..
@TeamBabyBoi No he means like the scene in the movie is different from this one and he prefers this one to the one in the movie
yellow purple gold amd blue
i just wanna be evil Evol
This one's better than the movie version. wonder y they didn't use this?
No, still Elfman.
@Sedraen I can.
Is it wrong that I want to hear Bruce Dickinson sing this? ._.
This Is Fuck Tha S*** Hhaa
lol i dont feel like getting my ass kicked agian my friends would kill me if they found me cutting agian
Because it doesn't.
but all of the other sounds is just like on the soundtrack.. this is the only one that isn't!.. I know there is some other songs were they are not the same as soundtrack but this is just COMPLETY diffrent!
ok now i dont know what you're talking about, the sounds are the same and the lyrics are similar, exept for a small part so its still the same song
Is it just me or is this version different than the movie version?
No, it's sung differently.
No it isn't xD
Wait did Jack die.
memorized all the songs and movie @.@ mega nerd
Jack looks kinda like slender man
uhhh its the exact same song :L
