## Lyrics

* Film
* Oogie's Revenge

I sense there's something in the wind

That feels like tragedy's at hand

And though I'd like to stand by him

Can't shake this feeling that I have

The worst is just around the bend

And does he notice my feelings for him?

And will he see how much he means to me?

I think it's not to be

What will become of my dear friend

Where will his actions lead us then?

Although I'd like to join the crowd

In their enthusiastic cloud

Try as I may, it doesn't last

And will we ever end up together?

And will we ever end up together?

No, I think not, it's never to become

For I am not the one

We should have known not to believe

And things would not have turned so bad

It's true his plan was to deceive

But that should not make you so sad

But danger waits at every turn

And I am ready

To set things right here

How can you say that you will be okay?

And come back another day?

What will become of our dear town?

Now that we've let our leader down

You know, dear Sally, that's not true

We can take this town back, me and you

There's so much danger yet to face

But I'm not worried, back home I hurried

Now we must stop

That evil Oogie's scheme

And save our Halloween

We should have known not to believe

And things would not have turned so bad

It's true his plan was to deceive

But that should not make you so sad

But danger waits at every turn

And I am ready

To set things right here

How can you say that you will be okay?

And come back another day?

What will become of our dear town?

Now that we've let our leader down

You know, dear Sally, that's not true

We can take this town back, me and you

There's so much danger yet to face

But I'm not worried, back home I hurried

You surely will

Now we all count on you

To see this trouble through

We should have known not to believe

And things would not have turned so bad

It's true his plan was to deceive

But that should not make you so sad

But danger waits at every turn

And I am ready

To set things right here

How can you say that you will be okay?

And come back another day?

What will become of our dear town?

Now that we've let our leader down

You know, dear Sally, that's not true

We can take this town back, me and you

There's so much danger yet to face

But I'm not worried, back home I hurried

If we work hard

We'll overcome our shame

And beat him at his game
