Have you heard the news?
Bad things come in twos
But I never knew 'bout the little things
Every single day
things get in my way
someone has to pay
for the little things
And I'm through with the stories
And I'm sick of my shoes
And the walking and the talking it's got nothing to do
with the final solution
It's a box full of tricks
And I'm through with repairs when there's nothing to
when there's nothing to fix
when there's nothing to fix
And it all comes down to.... you-u-u.
Let the headlines wait
Armies hesitate
I can deal with fate
but not the little things
Armageddon may
Arrive any day
I can't get away
from the little things
Have you heard the news?
Bad things come in twos
But I never knew 'bout the little things
Every single day
things get in my way

Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka...
The Amazing Chocolatier.
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka...
Everybody give a cheer!
He's modest, clever, and so smart,
He can barely restrain it.
With so much generosity,
There is no way to contain it...
To contain...to contain...to contain...to contain.
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka...
He's the one that you're about to meet.
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka...
He's a genius who just can't be beat.
The magician and the chocolate wiz...
The best darn guy who ever lived.

Now it's the last time to remember what you said to me
And I'm the last person in the world I thought I'd be
And now it's high time to be something bigger than we
It's never too late to reverse a thing that's gone too
(1st Chorus)
And I think the whole world's laughing at us
But I don't care, that's not the point
There's so much more
There's so much more than meets the eye
Oh, when you're around I'm blind
Now it's the last time to leave the shadows far behind
And it's the last time to clear the cobwebs from our
mind
And it's the last time to bury all our memories
And it's the last time before everything just fades
away
(2nd Chorus)
And I wish that you were here with me
And I wish that somehow things would change
You'd lose your fear of me
And I feel that things might be okay
Oh, wouldn't that be strange
Now it's the last time to reconsider what we've done
And it's the last time to start all over from day one
(Repeat 2nd Chorus)

What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair!
What's this?
What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
There's people singing songs
What's this?
The streets are lined with little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this? What's this?
There's children throwing snowballs
Instead of throwing heads
They're busy building toys
And absolutely no one's dead
There's frost on every window
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warmth
That's coming from inside
Oh, look
What's this?
They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss?
Why that looks so unique, inspired!
They're gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What's this?
What's this?
In here they've got a little tree, how queer!
And who would ever think?
And why?
They're covering it with tiny little things
They've got electric lights on strings
And there's a smile on everyone
So now, correct me if I'm wrong
This looks like fun!!
This looks like fun!!
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What's this?
Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there's nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Or ensnare them only little cozy things
Secure inside their dreamland
What's this?
The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around
Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Are absolutely everywhere
The sights! the sounds!
They're everywhere and all around
I've never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough
I want it,
Oh I want it
Oh I want it for my own
I've got to know
I've got to know
What is this place that I have found?
WHAT IS THIS?
Christmas Town?

Listen close, and listen hard,
The tale of Violet Beauregarde
This dreadful girl she sees no wrong
Chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing all day long
Chewing, chewing all day long.chewing,
chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long.
She goes on chewing till at last
Her chewing muscles go so fast.
And from her face her giant chin
Sticks out just like a violin
Chewing, chewing all day long. chewing,
chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long
For years and years she chews away
Her jaw gets stronger every day.
And with one great tremendous chew
They bite the poor girls tounge in two
And that is why we try so hard
To save miss Violet Beauregarde
Chewing, chewing all day long chewing,
chewing all day long

[EVERYONE]

[JACK]
There were object so peculiar
They were not to be believed
All around, things to tantalize my brain
It's a world unlike anything I've ever seen
And as hard as I try
I can't seem to describe
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?
[HARLEQUIN DEMON]
Is it filled with a pox?
[DEVIL, WEREWOLF, HARLEQUIN DEMON]
A pox
How delightful, a pox
[JACK]
If you pleae
Just a box with bright-colored paper
And the whole thing's topped with a bow
[WITCHES]
A bow?
But why?
How ugly
What's in it?
What's in it?
[JACK]
That's the point of the thing, not to know
[CLOWN]
It's a bat
[CREATURE UNDER THE STAIRS]
Will it bend?
[CLOWN]
It's a rat
[CREATURE UNDER THE STAIRS]
Will it break?
[UNDERSEA GAL]
Perhaps it's the head 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 over-sized 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]
Hmm, 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 bite?
[MUMMY]
Do they snap?
[WINGED DEMON]
Or explode in a sack?
[CORPSE KID]
Or perhaps 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 sometihng here 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's he's something to behold
Like a lobster, huge and red
And sets out to slay with his rain gear on
Carting bulging sacks with his big great arms
That is, so I've heard it said
And on a darkm 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 special lind of feeling in Christmas land

Mr. Macho loves his women with such dedication
Second only to his car that drives as fast as light
On a highway bad jet fighters come from all directions
Shooting verbal missiles, find their target right on
sight, right on sight
In the office things get rough as action is diminished
Staring at a paper he is lost inside his head
Dreaming of a battlefield with guns and ammunition
All around, the bodies of the wounded and the dead, and
the dead
(Chorus)
'Cause he's tough as nails
He's tough as nails
He's tough as nails
He's tough as nails
He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire
Now it's time for football and a bout with heavy
drinking
Holding so much liquor makes him feel like a man
As he drifts out on the sea on a ship that's slowly
sinking
Quietly salutes himself and the courage he once had, he
once had
(Repeat Chorus)
Walking round and round in circles
Waking up in a cold sweat
Falling down a stairway and the TV dinner's not done
Smash a window, crash a car
And buy a pair of leather shoes
Take a sweetheart to a movie
Cash a check and pay some dues
He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire
He's such a live wire
(Repeat Chorus)

Boys and girls of every age

The living in the land above
Will not know where they've been
The land above

The bride
Here comes the bride
The glorious day of days
Up to the land of the living

What does that wispy little brat have that you don't have double
She can't hold a candle to the beauty of your smile
How about a pulse?
Overrated by a mile
Overvalued
Overblown
If he only knew the you that we know
And that silly little creature isn't wearing his ring
And she doesn't play piano
Or dance
Or sing
No she doesn't compare
But she still breathes air!
Who cares?
Unimportant
Overrated
Overblown
If only he could see how special you can be
If he only knew the You that we know
If I touch a burning candle
I can feel no pain
If you cut me with a knife
It's still the same
And I know her heart is beating
And I know that I am dead
But the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
And it seems that I still have a tear to shed
The sole redeeming feature from that little creature, is that she's alive
Overrated
Overblown
Everybody knows that's just a temporary state
Which is cured very quickly when we meet our fate
Who cares?
Unimportant
Overrated
Overblown
If only he could see how special you can be
If he only knew the You that we know
If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain
In the ice or in the sun it's all the same
Yet I feel my heart is aching
Though it doesn't beat, it's breaking
And the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
I know that I am dead

And I've always been a sucker for mystery
And I've always been a sucker for mystery
And I've always been a sucker for mystery
And I've always been a sucker for mystery
So I turn to the left and I turn to the right
But none of the answers are in sight
So I made a mistake maybe once or twice
And I can't even get to paradise
And a priest came up to me and touched my face
He said terrible things happen round this place
Such terrible things happen round this place
Such terrible things happen round this place
No demon, no man has got a clue
But surely son, the end will turn out right for you
'Cause I've always been a sucker for mystery
And I've always been a sucker for mystery
There's a little boy walking up the stairs
Through a dark hallway that leads nowhere
He comes to a door but he's afraid to knock
And he bends down low and peers throught the lock
And there's a tall man standing with a glistening knife
And he's stooping over something that has no life
With stifled tears he starts to turn away
But a strange little voice seems to whisper
"Stay!"
He's always been a sucker for mystery
And he's always been...
(Chorus)
I don't want to say good bye
I want to give it one more try
I don't want to say good bye
I want to give it one more try
Won't somebody help
Won't somebody help
I'm all alone now with nothing to do
And I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
And I'm stuck with two tickets to an awful show
And my mouth's full of words but I've got nothing to
And I've been sitting in front of the TV set all day
And my head's in a vice and it won't let up
And my feet won't move and if that ain't enough
The telephone rings... "Hello!"
I've seen children with such angry faces
When you look in their eyes, it makes you want to cry
There's a time and a place for everything
There's a time and a place for everything
Now it doesn't seem fair
But who cares they're someone else's
As long as they don't come close to mine
There's a time and a place for everything
There's a time and a place for everything
So we packed our bags and went back to the hotel
In back of the squalor and the living hell
And they sell you this and they sell you that
They sell you their sister for a buck and a half
Such terrible things happen round this place
Such terrible things happen round this place
Such terrible things happen round this place
And people disappear without a trace
And I've always been a sucker for mystery
And I've always been...
Well the mystery that intrigues me the most
Is the one that makes men give up hope
The pride and the search for even little things
That might give a meaning, or even a hint
Cause how can a free man not have hope
When he hasn't even reached the end of his rope
I don't want to say good bye
I want to give it one more try
I don't want to close the gate
I still think that it's not too late
I know when I reach the end
I want to start all over again

"Where are you taking me? Where's Renee? Where's
Frenchy? I demand an answer! OWW!
Yoo-hoo, well if it ain't the little princess
Slpppppt.

Wowowowoooo (woawoawoawoooa)

I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be
What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become

Hey, give me a listen
You corpses of cheer
At least those of you
Who still got an ear
I'll tell you a story
Make a skeleton cry
Of our own jubilisciously lovely Corpse Bride
Die Die
We all pass away
Don't wear a frown, cause it's really ok
You might try and hide
And you might try to pray
But we all end up
The remains of the day
Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah
Yah, yah, yah
Well our girl was a beauty
Known for miles around
A mysterious stranger came into town
He was plenty good lookin'
But down on his cash
And our poor little baby
She fell hard and fast
When her daddy said no
She just couldn't cope
So our lovers came up with a plan to elope
Die Die
We all pass away
Don't wear a frown, cause it's really ok
You might try and hide
And you might try to pray
But we all end up
The remains of the day
Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah
Yah, yah, yah
Yeah, so they conjured up a plan to meet late at night
Told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight
Now her mother's wedding dress fit like a glove
We don't need much we're already in love
Except for a few things, or so I am told
That the family jewels and the satchel of gold
Then next to the graveyard by the old oak tree
On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three
She was ready to go
But where was he! ?
(And then?)
She waited
(And then?)
There in the shadows, was it the man! ?
(And then?)
Her little heart beat so loud
(And then?)
And then baby, everything... went... black
Now when she opened her eyes
She was dead as dust
Her jewels were missing
And her heart was bust
So she made a vow right under that tree
That she'd wait for her true love to come set her free
Always waiting for someone to ask for her hand
When out of the blue comes this groovy young man
Who vows forever to be by her side
And that's the story of our CORPSE BRIDE
Die Die
We all pass away
Don't wear a frown, cause it's really ok
You might try and hide
And you might try to pray
But we all end up

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, ah, 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...
... Santy Claws, hmm...
*Sing with much emotion - deep voice

It's not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It's just another ordinary miracle today
The sky knows when it's time to snow
Don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own
Isn't it remarkable
Like every time a raindrop falls
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Birds in winter have their fling
Will always make it home by spring
It's just another ordinary miracle today
When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
'Cause we're all a part of the ordinary miracle
Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?
It seems so exceptional
The things just work out after all
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Sun comes up and shines so bright
And disappears again at night
It's just another ordinary miracle today

‘Twas a long time ago,
Longer now than it seems
in a place that perhaps
you've seen in your dreams
For the story that you are about to be told
began with the holiday worlds of old
Now, you've probably wondered
where holidays come from.
If you haven't I'd say
it's time you begun.
For the holidays are the result of much fuss
and hard work from the worlds that create them us
Well you see now, quite simply
that's all that they do,
making one unique holiday
especially for you
But once, a calamity ever so great

The most important thing we've learned,
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set
Or better still, just don't install
The idiotic thing at all.
Never Ever Let Them
Never Ever Let Them
Ooh Ooh
Never Ever Let Them
It rots the senses in the mind!
It kills Imagination dead!
It clogs and clutters up the mind!
It makes a child so dull and blind!
So Dull So Dull !
He can no Longer understand
A fairytale and a fairyland!
A Fairyland a Fairyland!
His brain becomes as soft as cheese!
His powers of thinking rust and freeze!
He cannot think he only sees!
He only Sees
He only Sees
Regarding little Mike Teavee,
We very much regret that we
Shall simply have to wait and see
If we can get him back his height.

Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws
I wanna do it
Let's draw straws
Jack said, "We should work together"
Three of a kind
Birds of a feather
Now and forever
Wheeee
(La, la, la
La, la, la)
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Lock him up real tight
Throw away the key and then
Turn off all the lights
First, we're goin' to set some bait
Inside a nasty trap and wait
When he comes a-sniffing we will
Snap the trap and close the gate
Wait, I've got a better plan
To catch this big red lobster man
Let's pop him in a boiling pot
And when he's done we'll butter him up
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Throw him in a box
Bury him for ninety years
Then see if he talks
Then Mr. Oogie Boogie man
Can take the whole thing over then
He'II be so pleased, I do declare
That he will cook him rare, wheee
I say that we take a cannon, aim it at his door
And then knock three times
And when he answers
Sandy Claws will be no more
Yes you're so stupid, think now
If we blow him up to smithereens
We may lose some pieces
And then Jack will beat us black and green
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Tie him in a bag
Throw him in the ocean
Then, see if he is sad
Because Mr. Oogie Boogie
Is the meanest guy around
If I were on his boogie list
I'd get out of town
He'II be so pleased by our success
That he'll reward us too, I bet
Perhaps he'll make his special brew
Of snake and spider stew
We're his little henchmen and
We take our job with pride
We do our best to please him
And stay on his good side
I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb
I'm not the dumb one
You're no fun
Shut up
Make me
I've got something, listen now
This one is real good, you'll see
We'II send a present to his door
Upon there'll be a note to read
Now, in the box we'll wait and hide
Until' his curiosity
Entices him to look inside
And then we'll have him
One, two, three
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Beat him with a stick
Lock him up for ninety years, see what
Makes him tick
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Chop him into bits
Mr. Oogie Boogie
Is sure to get his kicks
Kidnap the sandy claws
See what we will see
Lock him in a cage

Christmas time is buzzing I'm my skull
Will it let me be? I cannot tell
There are som many things I cannot grasp
When I think I've got, and then at last
Through my bony fingers it does slip
Like a snowflake in a fiery grip
Something's here I'm not quite getting
Though I try, I keep forgetting
Like a memory long since past
Here in an instantm gone in a flash
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
In these little bric-a-brac
A secret's waiting to be cracked
These dolls and toys confuse me so
Confound it all, I love it though
Simple objects, nothing more
Bout something's hidden through a door
Though I do not have the key
Something's there I cannot see
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Hmm...
I've read there Christmas books so many times
I k now the stories and I know the rhymes
I know the Christmas carols all by heart
My skull's so full, it's tearing me apart
As often as I've read them, something's wrong
So hard to put my bony finger on
Or perhaps it's not as deep
As I've been led to think
Am I trying much too hard?
Of course! I've been too close to see
The answer's right in front of me
Right in front of me
It's simple really, very clear
Like music drifting in the air
Invisible, but everywhere
Just because I cannot see it
Doesn't mean I can't believe it
You know, I think this Christmas thing
Is not as tricky as it seems
And why should they have all the fun?
It should belong to anyone
Not anyone, in fact, but me
Whu, I could make a Christmas tree
And there's no reason I can find
I couldn't handle Christmas time
I bet I could improve it too
And that's exactly what I'll do
Hee, hee, hee

There are few who deny
at what I do I am the best,
for my talents are renowned far and wide.
When it comes to surprises on a moonlit night,
I excell without ever even trying.
With the slightest little effort of my ghost-like charm
I have seen grown men give out a shriek.
With a wave of my hand and a well placed moan
I have swept the very bravest off their feet.
But 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
and emptiness be there to grow.
There's something out there far from my home.
A longing that I've never known.
I'm the master of fright and a demon of light,
and I'll scare you right out of your pants.
To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mr. Unlucky,
and I'm know throughout England and in 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.

I don't know why I feel this way
I don't know if it's right or wrong to laugh at
misfortune
Darkness can never last too long
Every time I think I'm falling
And there's nobody around to hold me up
And it seems like the world has come to an end
I look for miles but not a face is friendly
Then suddenly a hole opens up in the ground
The bottom of the hole is a raging fire
I try to jump over but there's no way
The next thing I know, I'm going down
(Chorus)
Does it hurt?
Oh, it really doesn't matter
Does it burn?
Oh, I don't feel a thing
Does it sting?
Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter
Does it hurt?
Oh, I don't give a damn
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom
The last time that I fell in love
The love was milk and honey but the milk turned sour
The woman became a monster
And everyone I knew had become a stranger
And the room went black and my luck was spent
The floor opened up, down I went
(Repeat Chorus)
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
Coming right back
Coming right back
'Cause you can't keep me down
Can't keep me down
Oh, in the ground
Does it hurt?
Oh, it really doesn't matter
Does it burn?
Oh, I don't feel a thing
I don't mind just a little pain
Ooh, oh yeah
Whoa...
Remembering when I was a young man
How everything seemed to turn against me
I didn't know a soul, it was an alien place
The sun was covered by a dark cloud
And though I tried, I couldn't find a way to escape
The only way to go was straight down
(Repeat Chorus)
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
I don't know why I feel this way
I don't know if it's right or wrong to laugh at
misfortune
Darkness can never last too long...
When you laugh in its face
When you laugh in its face

Life's been so good to me
Has it been good to you
Has it been everything
That you expected it to be
Was it as good for you
As it was good for me
And was it everything
That it was all set up to be
(now is that gratitude)
Now is that gratitude
Or is it really love
Some kind of reality
That fits just like a glove
Now is that gratitude
For everything i've done
Or is it something else
That's got me on the run
In the middle of a big tornado
On the tip of everyone's tongue
In the belly of a giant whale
All the girls just wanna have fun
In the look of a frightened neighbor
In a big warm bed at night
In a broken elevator
In the teeth of a dog that bites
In the middle of a revolution
In the look of a child's face
In the silence of the dinner table
In the stillness of disgrace
(i used to eat little girls i knew
For breakfast
I used to fly high up in the sky
I used to chew up rocks and
Spit out gravel
I had a heart as cold as ice)
But when i think of you
And what you've done to me
You took away my hope
You took away my fantasy
I once had lots of pride
The world was in my hands
I lived way at the top
Of castles made of sand
Ooh . . .
I dream of you sometimes
Ooh . . .
I dream of you sometimes
In the middle of a big tornado . . .

Everytime I see you now it makes me feel so bad
Reminds me of the memories I wish I never had
Standing in a crowded room too dark for me to see
Someone's pushing from behind, just leave me room to
breathe
And go away from me, just go away
To another time, another place
To another world, another dream
Go away from me...
Walking down the sidewalk in a crowd that doesn't care
Bumping into shoulders every eye is on the street
There's a man with tattered clothes who's cursing at
the air
Everyone is slowing down to catch a little peak
And go away from me, just go away
To another time, another place
To another world, another dream
Go away from me...
Everytime I wake up and I see myself again
Staring in the mirror like a burnt out piece of wood
Searching every feature for a single trace of life
Couldn't find the answer 'cause the mirror never lies
And go away from me, just go away
To another time, another place
To another world, another dream

JACK
My dearest friend, if you don’t mind
I’d like to join you by your side
Where we can gaze into the stars
JACK AND SALLY
And sit together, now and forever
For it is plain as anyone can see

I'm gonna bet you that heartaches
and true love and feeble excuses
For repressed desire adds fuel to the fire
And the human condition goes on and goes on and goes on
(Chorus)
Everybody needs it
Everybody needs
Everybody needs it
Everybody needs
And I get so blue when I'm stuck all day in school
And I get so blue when I'm stuck all day in school
And I stare at the back of my old notebook
And the teacher gives me a dirty look
And I've got just one thing on my mind
No matter how hard I try and try
I feel like someone else
I feel like someone else
Everybody needs
Big boy, real cool, you can tell he's no one's fool
And he tries so hard to come off like a star
You can tell by the way he combs his hair
By the cocky grin and that moody stare
By the way he leans and juts out his hip
And you think any second that he might slip
But he feels like someone else
And he feels like someone else
I know what's on his mind
I know what's on his mind
(Repeat Chorus)
And I'm gonna bet you that I know what's on your mind
Pretty baby, I'm gonan bet you that I know what's on
your mind
Young girl, so wild, she wears a ponytail
And she cooks inside with a passion she can't hide
And she's got that ju-ju in her eyes
Makes boys and old men come alive
And she knows the power that she possesses
When they start to melt under her caresses
She feels like someone else
She feels like someone else
I know what's on her mind
I know what's on her mind
(Repeat Chorus)
True love and virtue get put in a closet
Like Jeckyll and Hyde, when it starts you can't stop it
No need to feel guilty, 'cause you're not alone
When the fire consumes you and nature takes over
The heartache and true love and feeble excuses
For repressed desires add fuel to the fire
When the fire consumes you and nature takes over
And the human condition goes on and goes on and goes on
(Repeat Chorus)

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Come on baby... Don't fear the Reaper
Baby take my hand... Don't fear the Reaper
We'll be able to fly... Don't fear the Reaper
Baby I'm your man...
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity...
Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday... Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday... Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like they
Come on baby... Don't fear the Reaper
Baby take my hand... Don't fear the Reaper
We'll be able to fly... Don't fear the Reaper
Baby I'm your man...
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared
Saying don't be afraid
Come on baby... And she had no fear
And she ran to him... Then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye
She had become like they are
She had taken his hand
She had become like they are

Icy steel shooting through concrete, cool city
Mountains of glass reflect the sky
Everybody feels real good in cool city
Each day brings a new surprise
Johnny came two-thousand miles to the cool city
He came to see what makes things tick
He cut his hair and bought new clothes in the cool city
Finally found his life's ambition
How to do nothing perfectly
To do it with style so gracefully
'Cause life is so delicious in Cool City
Outside no one's on the street
Don't stop or you'll miss a beat
Someone's standing in a doorway -- cool city
You open the door and check him out so casually
The music's blasting all night long in cool city
They recognize his face, so it's all right
This one knew the right address
He even knew someone in a band
While the others wait all night standing there in
Cool city
So hard to make the right friends
You might have to sell some skin
The nights go on forever
The blacks they all hate the whites
The whites think they're tough, but they're not, cool
city
The boys go out with each other
The girls who will be in movies
If you're high, you're in the right place, cool city
Animals seek out their own kind
Shake some hands and take a lunch in cool city
Someone's going to try and tempt you
Listen to all the brilliant plans in the cool city
It's all free now, but you'll pay later with your soul
Pray to the the objects on the wall
That you'll stay young and never grow old
So come on, the water's fine
Have a drink, snort a line

And finally, everything worked out just fine.
Christmas was saved, though there wasn’t much time.
But after that night, things were never the same--
Each holiday now knew the other one’s name.
And though that one Christmas things got out of hand,
I’m still rather fond of that skeleton man.
So, many years later I thought I’d drop in,
And there was old Jack still looking quite thin,
With four or five skeleton children at hand
Playing strange little tunes in their xylophone band.
And I asked old Jack, “Do you remember the night
When the sky was so dark and the moon shone so bright?
When a million small children pretending to sleep
Nearly didn’t have Christmas at all, so to speak?
And would, if you could, turn that mighty clock back,
To that long, fateful night. Now, think carefully, Jack.
Would you do the whole thing all over again,
Knowing what you know now, knowing what you knew then?”
And he smiled, like the old pumpkin king that I knew,

Augustus Gloop! Augustus Gloop!
The great big greedy nincompoop!
Augustus Gloop!
So big and vile
So greedy, foul, and infantile
'Come on!' we cried, 'The time is ripe
To send him shooting up the pipe!
But don't, dear children, be alarmed;
Augustus Gloop will not be harmed,
Augustus Gloop will not be harmed.
Although, of course, we must admit
He will be altered quite a bit.
Slowly, the wheels go round and round,
The cogs begin to grind and pound;
We'll boil him for a minute more,
Until we're absolutely sure
Then out he comes! By God! By grace!
A miracle has taken place!
A miracle has taken place!
This greedy brute, this louse's ear,
Is loved by people everywhere!
For who could hate or bear a grudge

Oh, Alice, dear where have you been?
So near, so far or in between?
What have you heard what have you seen?
Alice, Alice, please, Alice!
Oh, tell us are you big or small
To try this one or try them all
It's such a long, long way to fall
Alice, Alice, oh, Alice
How can you know this way not that?
You choose the door you choose the path
Perhaps you should be coming back
Another day, another day
And nothing is quite what is seems
You're dreaming are you dreaming, oh, Alice?
(Oh, how will you find your way? Oh, how will you find your way?)
(There's not time for tears today. There's no time for tears today.)
So many doors – how did you choose
So much to gain so much to lose
So many things got in your way
No time today, no time today
Be careful not to lose your head
Just think of what the doormouse said…Alice!
Did someone pull you by the hand?
How many miles to Wonderland?
Please tell us so we'll understand
Alice…Alice…Oh, Alice

It's a beautiful day
It's a rather nice day
A day for a glorious wedding
A rehearsal my dear, to be perfectly clear
A rehearsal for a glorious wedding
Assuming nothing happens that we don't really know
That nothing unexpected interferes with the show
And that's why every thing
Every last little thing
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go
According to plan
Our son will be married
According to plan
Our family carried
Elevated to the heights of society
To the costume balls
In the hallowed halls
Rubbing elbows with the finest
And having crumpets with her highness
We'll be there, we'll be seen
Having tea with the queen
Forget everything
That we've ever, ever been
It's a terrible day
Now don't be that way
It's a terrible day for a wedding
It's a sad, sad state of affairs we're in
That has led to this ominous wedding
How could our family have come to this?
To marry off our daughter to the nouveau riche
Their so common
So coarse
Oh it couldn't be worse
Couldn't be worse? I'm afraid I disagree
They could be land rich, bankrupt, aristocracy
Without a penny to their name
Just like you, and me
Oh dear
And that's why everything
Every last little thing
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go
According to plan
Our daughter will wed
According to plan
Our family led
From the depths of deepest poverty
To the noble realm
Of our ancestors
And who'd have guessed in a million years?
That our daughter with a face
Of an otter in disgrace
Would provide our tickets to a rightful place
Marriage is a partnership
A little tit for tat
You'd think a lifetime watching us
Might have taught her that
Might have taught her that
Everything must be perfect
Everything must be perfect
Everything must be perfect perfect
That's why everything
Every last little thing
