EGJH Harmonic Choir – Song Lyrics
Three Little Birds
Chorus:
Don’t worry about a thing, ‘cause every little thing gonna be alright.
Singin’, don’t worry about a thing, ‘cause every little thing gonna be alright.
Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sun.
Three little birds, pitch by my doorstep,
Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true,
Saying, “This is my message to you-oo-oo.”
(Repeat)
Mean
Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard, calling me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin' on the weaker man
Well, you can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know
Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides and your wild - fire lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again as if I don't already see them
I'll walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I'll bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now 'cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know
Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Sad and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean
All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
But someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Nightmare Before Christmas
“This is Halloween”
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween
Chorus:
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright (spoken)
It's our town, everybody scream (spoken)
In this town of Halloween
(Solo 1) I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
(Solo 2) I am the one hiding under yours stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
La-la-la-la Halloween! (Repeated until end)
“What’s this?”
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? There’s something very wrong
What's this? There are 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
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
The sights, the sounds
They're everywhere 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? (spoken)
“Kidnap the Sandy Claws”
(Solo 1) Kidnap Mr. Sandy Slaws?
(Solo 2) I wanna do it let’s draw straws!
(Solo 3) Jack said we should work together!
(All 3 soloists) Three of a kind, birds of a feather! Now and forever!
Choir: La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, etc.
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, lock him up real tight
Throw away the key and then
Turn off all the lights
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, tie him in a bag
Throw him in the ocean
Then see if he is sad
Because Mr. Oogie Boogie is the meanest guy around
If I were on his Boogie list, I'd get out of town
“Mr. Oogie Boogie”
When Mr. Oogie Boogie says
There's trouble close at hand
You'd better pay attention now
'Cause I'm the Boogie Man
And if you aren't shakin'
Then something's very wrong
'Cause this may be the last time now
That you hear the boogie song, ohhh
Ohhh – Ohhh, etc.
Well if I'm feelin' antsy
And there's nothin' much to do
I might just cook a special batch
Of snake and spider stew
And don't ya know one thing
That would make it work so nice?
A roly-poly Sandy Claws to add a little spice
Ohhh – Ohhh,
I’m the Oogie-Boogie Man!
Halloween! Halloween!
In this town, we call home
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin Song!
La-la-la-la Halloween! (Repeated until end)
