Santa
[singing]
Release me now, or you must face the dire consequences! / The children are expecting me, so please come to your senses...
[singing]
You're jokin'! You're jokin'! I can't believe my ears! / Would someone shut this fella up?! I'm drownin' in my tears! / He's funny! I'm laughing! You really are too much! / And now, with your permission, I'm going to do my stuff.
Santa
[fearfully]
What are you going to do?
I'm gonna do the best I can!

[Lock, Shock and Barrel try to shove Santa Claus into Oogie Boogie's lair]
