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? 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 on 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?
Well 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? Christmas Town, hmm...
