Opening Lyrics by Danny Elfman

Nightmare Revisited

2008

'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
Began with 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
For holidays are the result of much fuss
And hard work for the worlds that create them for us

Well, you see now, quite simply, that's all that they do
Making one unique holiday, especially for you
But once, a calamity ever so great occurred
When two holidays met by mistake
