Santa
[Singing]

Release me fast, or you will have to answer for this heinous act!

[Singing]

The sound of rolling dice, to me, is music in the air, / 'Cause I'm a gamblin' Boogie Man, although I don't play fair! / It's much more fun, I must confess, with lives on the line! / Not mine, of course, but YOURS, old boy! Now that'd be just fine!

[Singing]

There's children throwing snowballs / instead of throwing heads / they're busy building toys / and absolutely no one's dead!

[Singing]

Well, well, well. What have we here? / Sandy Claws, huh? Ooooh, I'm really scared (!) / So YOU'RE the one everybody's talkin' about, HA HA HA HA! / You're jokin'! You're jokin'! I can't believe my eyes! / You're jokin' me! You gotta be! This CAN'T be the right guy! / He's ancient. He's UGLY. I don't know which is worse! / I might just split a seam, now, if I don't die laughin' first! / Mister Oogie Boogie says there's trouble close at hand. / You'd better pay attention, now, 'cause I'm the Boogie Man, / And if you aren't SHAKIN', there's somethin' very wrong, / 'Cause this may be the last time you hear the Boogie Song!/ You're crazy! You're joking! I can't believe my ears!/ Will SOMEONE shut this fellow up? I'm drownin' in my tears.

Mayor
[Singing]

What a splendid idea! This "Christmas" sounds fun. I fully endorse it — let's try it at once!

[Singing]

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?

[Singing]

You know, I think this Christmas thing / Is not as tricky as it seems, / And why should they have all the fun? / It should belong to anyone! / Not anyone, in fact, but me! / Why, I could make a Christmas tree, / And there's no reason I can find / I couldn't handle Christmas time! / I bet I could improve it, too, / And that's exactly what I'll do!

[To his new creation]

You will be a decided improvement over that treacherous Sally. We'll have conversations worth having.

Santa

Bumpy sleigh ride, Jack? The next time you get the urge to take over someone else's holiday, I'd listen to her. [points to Sally] She's the only one who makes any sense in this insane asylum!
