Nightmare Before Christmas - What's This? lyrics

What's this? What's this?

There's color everywhere

What's this?

There's white things in the air

What's this?

I can't believe my eyes

I must be dreaming

Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair

What's this?

What's this? What's this?

There's something very wrong

What's this?

There's people singing songs


What's this?

The streets are lined with

Little creatures laughing

Everybody seems so happy

Have I possibly gone daffy?

What is this?

What's this?


There are children throwing snowballs here

Instead of throwing heads

They're busy building toys

And absolutely no one's dead


There's frost on every window

Oh, I can't believe my eyes

And in my bones I feel the warmth

That's coming from inside


Oh, look

What's this?

They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss

Why that looks so unique, inspired

They're gathering around to hear a story

Roasting chestnuts on a fire

What's this?

What's this?


In here they've got a little tree, how queer

And who would ever think

And why?


They're covering it with tiny little things

They've got electric lights on strings

And there's a smile on everyone

So, now, correct me if I'm wrong

This looks like fun

This looks like fun

Oh, could it be I got my wish?

What's this?


Oh my, what now?

The children are asleep

But look, there's nothing underneath

No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them

Or ensnare them, only little cozy things

Secure inside their dreamland

What's this?


The monsters are all missing

And the nightmares can't be found

And in their place there seems to be

Good feeling all around


Instead of screams, I swear

I can hear music in the air

The smell of cakes and pies

Are absolutely everywhere


The sights, the sounds

They're eveywhere and all around

I've never felt so good before

This empty place inside of me is filling up

I simply cannot get enough


I want it, oh, I want it

Oh, I want it for my own

I've got to know

I've got to know

What is this place that I have found?

What is this?


(BANG)


Christmas Town? Hmm...
