my brother and sister

From: The Nightmare Before Christmas
Written by: Danny Elfman

[Shadow:]
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

[Siamese Shadow:]
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween

[Pumpkin Patch Chorus:]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night

[Ghosts:]
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick of treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween

[Creature Under Bed:]
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

[Man Under the Stairs:]
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

[Corpse Chorus:]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween

[Vampires:]
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Everybody waiting for the next surprise

[Mayor:]
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise

[Corpse Chorus:]
Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll

[Harlequin Demon, Werewolf, and Melting Man:]
Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, slimy green

[Werewolf:]
Aren't you scared?

[Witches:]
Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take the chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night

[Hanging Tree:]
Everybody scream, everybody scream

[Hanged Men:]
In our town of Halloween

[Clown:]
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace

[Second Ghoul:]
I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair

[Oogie Boogie Shadow:]
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright

[Corpse Chorus:]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!

[Child Corpse Trio:]
Tender lumpings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare

[Parent Corpses:]
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween

[Corpse Chorus:]
In this town

[Mayor:]
Don't we love it now?

[Mayor with Corpse Chorus:]
Everyone's waiting for the next surprise

[Corpse Chorus:]
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everyone scream
Won't ya please make way for a very special guy
Our man Jack is king of the Pumpkin King now

[Everyone:]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

[Child Corpse Trio:]
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

[Lock, Shock, and Barrel:]
Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws

[Lock:]
I wanna do it

[Barrel:]
Let's draw straws

[Shock:]
Jack said we should work together
Three of a kind

[All:]
Birds of a feather
Now and forever
Wheeee
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

[Shock:]
First we're going to set some bait
Inside a nasty trap we'll wait
When he comes a-sniffling we will
Snap the trap and close the gate

[Lock:]
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

[All:]
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Throw him in a box
Bury him for ninety years
Then see if he talks

[Shock:]
Then Mr. Oogie Boogie Man
Can take the whole thing over then
He'll be so pleased, I do declare
That he will cook him rare

[All:]
Wheeee

[Lock:]
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

[Shock:]
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

[All:]
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Tie him in a bag
Throw him in the ocean
Then, see if he is sad

[Lock and Shock:]
Because Mr. Oogie Boogie is the meanest guy around
If I were on his Boogie list, I'd get out of town

[Barrel:]
He'll be so pleased by our success
That he'll reward us too, I bet

[All:]
Perhaps he'll make his special brew
Of snake and spider stew
Ummm!

We're his little henchmen and
We take our job with pride
We do our best to please him
And to stay on his good side

[Shock:]
I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb

[Barrel:]
I'm not the dumb one

[Lock:]
You're no fun

[Shock:]
I've got something, listen now
This one is real good, you'll see
We'll send a present to his door
Up there'll be a note to read
Now, in the box we'll wait and hide
Until his curiosity entices him to look inside

[Barrel:]
And then we'll have him
One, two, three

[All:]
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 and then, throw away the key




La la la la, Halloween! Halloween!(etc.)
