Lyrics and translation
Original
What have I done?
What have I done?
How could I be so blind? All is lost.
Where was I?
Spoiled all, spoiled all.
Everything's gone all wrong. What have I done?
What have I done?
Find a deep cave to hide in.
In a million years, they'll find me, only dust and a plaque that reads, "Here lies poor old Jack.
" But I never intended all this madness, never!
And nobody really understood.
Well, how could they, that all I ever wanted was to bring them something great. Why does nothing ever turn out like it should?
Well, what the heck, I went and did my best, and by God, I really tasted something swell.
That's right, and for a moment, why, I even touched the sky! And at least I left some stories they can tell.
I did, and for the first time since I don't remember when, I felt just like my old bony self again. And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King.
That's right, I am the Pumpkin King!
And I just can't wait until next Halloween, 'cause I've got some new ideas that'll 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.
