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
And at least I left some stories they can tell, I
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
