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's children throwing snowballs
 * Instead of throwing heads
 * They're busy building toys
 * And absolutely no one's dead
 * There's frost in 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 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?


 * Christmastown? Hmmmmm...
