[00:00.00]And finally, everything worked out just fine
[00:04.29]Christmas was saved, though there wasn't much time
[00:08.36]But after that night, things were never the same
[00:12.11]Each holiday now knew the other one's name
[00:15.66]And though that one Christmas, things got out of hand
[00:19.98]I'm still rather fond of that skeleton man
[00:24.14]So, many years later, I thought I'd drop in
[00:28.60]And there was old Jack, still looking quite thin
[00:32.80]With four or five skeleton children at hand
[00:35.25]Playing strange little tunes in their xylophone band
[00:38.69]And I asked old Jack, "Do you remember the night
[00:43.67]When the sky was so dark and the moon shone so bright
[00:48.23]When a million small children pretending to sleep
[00:52.40]Nearly didn't have Christmas at all, so to speak
[00:55.69]And would, if you could, turn that mighty clock back
[00:59.86]To that long, fateful night
[01:01.67]Now, think carefully, Jack
[01:04.02]Would you do the whole thing all over again
[01:07.68]Knowing what you know now, knowing what you knew then?"
[01:13.71]And he smiled, like the old Pumpkin King that I knew
[01:18.33]Then turned and asked softly to me, "Wouldn't you?"
