Closing

Closing - Danny Elfman (丹尼·葉夫曼)

And finally everything

Worked out just fine

Christmas was saved

Though there wasn't much time

But after that night

Things were never the same

Each holiday now knew

The other one's name

And though that one

Christmas things got out of hand

I'm still rather fond of

That skeleton man

So many years later

I thought I'd drop in

And there was old Jack

Still looking quite thin

With four or five skeleton

Children at hand

Playing strange little tunes

In their xylophone band

And I asked old Jack

"Do you remember the night

When the sky was so dark

And the moon shone so bright

When a million small

Children pretending to sleep

Nearly didn't have Christmas at all

So to speak "

"And would if you could

Turn that mighty clock back

To that long fateful night

Now think carefully Jack

Would you do the whole thing all over again

Knowing what you know now

Knowing what you knew then "

And he smiled like the old

Pumpkin' king that I knew

Then turned and asked softly of me

"Wouldn't you "
