The Nightmare Before Christmas Script

NARRATOR

'Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems, in a place 

that perhaps you've seen in your dreams.  For the story that you are 

about to be told, took place in the holiday worlds of old.  Now, you've 

probably wondered where holidays come from.  If you haven't, I'd say it's 

time you begun.



 This Is Halloween



SHADOW

Boys and girls of every age

Wouldn't you like to see something strange?



SIAMESE SHADOW

Come with us and you will see

This, our town of Halloween



PUMPKIN PATCH CHORUS

This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Pumpkins scream in the dead of night



GHOSTS

This is Halloween, everybody make a scene

Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright

It's our town, everybody scream

In this town of Halloween



CREATURE UNDER BED

I am the one hiding under your bed

Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red



MAN UNDER THE STAIRS

I am the one hiding under your stairs

Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair



CORPSE CHORUS

This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

Bad Romance - Lady Gaga. A1

http://www.goear.com/listen/6c4d43d/bad-romance-lady-gaga

I want you ugly
I want your disease
I want your everything
Nine miles to freedom
I want your love
Omlet
I want your love
I want your drama
The touch of your hand
I want your leather-studded kiss in the sand
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love
(Love-love-love I want your love)

You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want it bad, your bad romance

I want your love and
I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
(Oh-oh-oh-oooh!)
I want your love and
All your lovers' revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
