Poor Jack Lyrics

[00:00.28] What have I done?
[00:03.67] What have I done?
[00:07.02] How could I be so blind?
[00:13.83] All is lost, where was I?
[00:20.42] Spoiled all, spoiled all
[00:27.31] Everything's gone all wrong
[00:34.19] What have I done?
[00:37.51] What have I done?
[00:40.74] Find a deep cave to hide in
[00:45.47] In a million years they'll find me
[00:49.95] Only dust and a plaque
[00:56.72] That reads, "Here Lies Poor Old Jack"
[01:04.32] But I never intended all this madness, never
[01:11.09] And nobody really understood, how could they?
[01:17.59] That all I ever wanted was to bring them something great
[01:21.80] Why does nothing ever turn out like it should?
[01:25.93] Well, what the heck! I went and did my best!
[01:31.16] And, by God, I really tasted something swell!
[01:35.96] And for a moment, why, I even touched the sky!
[01:40.39] And at least I left some stories they can tell, I did!
[01:44.92] And for the first time since I don't remember when
[01:49.58] I felt just like my old bony self again...
[01:53.68] And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King...
[01:58.66] That's right, I am the Pumpkin King! Aha, ha, ha!
[02:03.53] And I just can't wait until next Halloween,
[02:07.43] 'Cause I've got some new ideas
[02:09.64] That will really make them scream!
[02:11.67] And, by God, I'm really gonna give it all my might!
[02:16.25] Uh oh, I hope there's still time to set things right!
[02:24.50] Sandy Claws, hmm...
[02:25.78]
