Poor Jack

"Poor Jack" is a song Jack sings after he survives the explosion about his guilt of the mess he made and chooses to stay as "The Pumpkin King." It is a song from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Lyrics
Jack: ''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—''

[spoken] Well, 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''

[spoken] 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 ''

[spoken] That's right! I am the Pumpkin King! Ha, 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!''

[spoken] Uh oh.

I hope there's still time to set things right

[spoken] Sandy Claws, hmm...
