What are the words toThe Nightmare Before Christmas poem?

The Nightmare Before Christmas

'Twas a cold and dreary Christmas Eve,

And the citizens of Halloween town were a-feared,

For they knew that Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King,

Was planning something wicked and sinister.

Jack was tired of Halloween,

He wanted something more,

So he decided to take over Christmas town,

And become the new king of all.

With the help of his faithful dog Zero,

Jack set out on his quest,

To kidnap Santa Claus and steal his sleigh,

And deliver presents to all the children on Earth.

But things didn't quite go according to plan,

For Jack soon realized that Christmas was not like Halloween,

And that he was not meant to be Santa Claus.

In the end, Jack returned to Halloween town,

And vowed to never try to take over Christmas again.

And so, the citizens of Halloween town were safe,

And Santa Claus continued to deliver presents to all the children on Earth,

And Jack Skellington was content to be the Pumpkin King,

For he knew that Halloween was the best holiday of all.
