The Pumpkin King

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|going to give it all my might

Uh-oh. I hope there's still time...

to set things right.

Sandy Claws! Hmm.

You wait 'til Jack|hears about this!

By the time he's through with|you, you'll be lucky if you--

The King of Halloween...

has been blown to smithereens.

Skeleton Jack|is now a pile of dust.

Come on, Zero.|Christmas isn't over yet.

What's that you said|about luck, rag doll?

Help! Help! Help!

Shh.

Looks like it's Oogie's turn|to boogie now.

- Help!|- One, two, three...

four, five, six, seven.

Help!

Ashes to ashes,|and dust to dust.

Oh, I'm feeling weak with hunger!

One more roll of the dice|oughta do it.

What? Snake eyes?

Eleven!

Looks like I won the jackpot!

Bye-bye, doll face and sandman.

What the--

- Hello, Oogie.|- J-J-J-Jack!

But they said you were dead.|You must be double dead!

Oh!

Well, come on, bone man!

Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo! Ha!

Fire!

Hmm. Ooh-ooh-ooh!

Jack, look out!

So long, Jack.

How dare you treat my friends|so shamefully!

Now look what you've done!

My bugs! My bugs!

My bugs! My bugs! My bugs!

My bugs! My bugs! My bugs!

My bugs! My bugs!

Forgive me, Mr. Claws.

I'm afraid I've made|a terrible mess of your holiday.

Bumpy sleigh ride, Jack?

The next time you get the urge|to take over someone else's|holiday, I'd listen to her.

She's the only one who makes any|sense around this insane asylum.

- Skeletons! Boogie men! Ooh.|- I hope there's still time.

To fix Christmas?|Of course there is!

I'm Santa Claus.

He'll fix things, Jack.|He knows what to do.

How did you|get down here, Sally?

Oh, l-l was trying to--|Well, I wanted to, to--

- To help me.|- I couldn't let you just--

Sally, I can't believe|I never realized that you--

- Jack! Jack!|- Here he is!|- Alive!

- Just like we said!|- Grab ahold, my boy!

Whoa!

Good news, folks. Santa Claus, the one|and only, has finally been spotted.

Old Saint Nick appears to be|traveling at supersonic speed.

He's setting things right, bringing|joy and cheer wherever he goes.

Yes, folks, Kris Kringle|has pulled it out of the bag...

and delivered Christmas|to excited children all over the world.

La, la, la, la|La-la-la-la

La, la, la, la|La-la-la-la

- Jack!|- Jack's back!

- Jack?|- Jack's okay!|- He's all right!|- It's Jack!

Jack's okay|And he's back

Oh, yea|He's all right

Let's shout, make a fuss|Scream it out, whee

Jack is back now|Everyone sing

Happy Halloween!

Merry Christmas!

What's this|Must be a Christmas thing

- What's this|- It's really very strange

This is Halloween|Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

What's this|What's this

Careful, my precious jewel.

My dearest friend|if you don't mind

I'd like to join you by your side

Where we can gaze|into the stars

And sit together

Now and forever

For it is plain

As anyone can see

We're simply meant to be
