[C] What's this?
What's this?
There's color [B] everywhere.
What's this?
There's white [C] things in the air.
What's this?
I can't [Em] believe my eyes.
I must be dreaming.
Wake up, Jack.
[B] This isn't fair!
[C] What's this?
What's this?
There's something [B] very wrong.
What's this?
There's people [C] singing songs.
What's this?
The streets are lined with little creatures, laughing.
[Db] Everybody [Eb] seems so happy.
[Em] How about lots of [G] meagre caffeine?
[Gb] What is this?
[G]
[C] What's this?
[Am] Children throwing snowballs [Em] instead of throwing heads.
[Am] They're busy building toys and [Em] absolutely no one's dead.
[Gm] There's frost on every window.
Oh, [Bbm] I can't believe my eyes.
[A] And in my bones I feel the [Dbm] warmth that's coming from [Ab] inside.
[Db] Oh, look.
What's this?
The hanging [C] mistletoe.
They kiss?
Why, that looks [Db] so unique.
Inspired!
They're gathering around.
Hear a story [D] roasting chestnuts [C] on a fire.
[Db] What's this?
What's this?
In here they've got a [C] little tree.
How queer!
And who would [Db] ever think?
And why?
They're covering it [Fm] with tiny [Db] little things.
They've got [Fm] electric lights [C] on strings and there's [Fm] a smile in [Ab] everyone.
So now [G] correct me if I'm wrong.
This looks [Db] like fun.
This looks [F] like fun.
[Bb] Oh, could it be [A] I got my [Db] wish?
What's this?
Oh, my.
What now?
The children are [C] asleep.
But look.
There's nothing [Db] underneath.
No ghouls, no witches [Fm] here to scream and scare them [Db] or [Fm] ensnare them.
Only [E] little cozy [Fm] things secure [C] inside their [Fm] dreamland.
[Db] What's this?
[Bbm] The monsters are all missing [Fm] and the nightmares can't be found.
[Bbm] And in their place there seems to be [Fm] good feeling all around.
[Abm] Instead of screams, I swear I [Bm] can hear music in the air.
[Bb] The smell of cakes and pies are [Dm] absolutely [A] everywhere.
[D] The sights, the sounds, they're everywhere [Db] and all around.
I've never [D] felt so good before.
This empty [Gbm] place inside [D] of me is filling [Eb] up.
I simply [Db] cannot get [Gbm] enough.
I want it.
Oh, I [A] want [D] it.
Oh, I want it for my own.
I've got to know.
I've got to [Bm] know.
What is this place [Bb] that I have [Dm] found?
[Bb] What [B] is this?
[A] [Ab]
Christmas Town?
