A Christmas Story

Scrooge:

Fools around me, the city's going under

Going under

Stealing, begging, poverty and plunder

Poverty and plunder

All these folks they're nothing but a bother

All of town is

Loud, disturbing, singing for eachother

I can't stand this

Time of Christmas joy and celebration

Leave me be

Bob Cratchit:

Sir, I wouldn't mind some heat

Scrooge:

Your office's more than warm enough

Bob Cratchit:

I could buy more coal just down the street

Scrooge:

And spend more money, than we need? No,

thanks!

They think my intentions are joyful and

triumphant

Wealth and fortune has given me my comfort

I've paid the price of my success with pride and

dignity

Businessman:

Would you help the people at the workhouse

They have no one to cherish

Poor, young children and chrismtas 'round the

corner

They might perish

Scrooge:

You come here, thinking "I am your salvation"

'Cause they're dying

Then let them, that would decrease the population

I'm not lying

Now leave me, go in peace and have yourself a

good..

Merry christmas

…day

Bob Cratchit:

You know tomorrow's Christmas day

Scrooge:

A working day like always

Bob Cratchit:

Maybe if I came in late?

Scrooge:

Then expect no payment for that day!

They think my intentions are joyful and triumphant

Wealth and fortune has given me my comfort

I've had enough of walfare and of christmas

cheering.

He fell to his knees and past away that dark, black

Christmas.

Jacob Marley, oh my friend and so your're gone

He's gone, which means the profit's mine

Only mine since that Christmas eve

Dear Bob Cratchit needs a day

to celebrate this season

I wish this holiday would go away

For many, many reasons

Townspeople:

Christmas is faithful, joyful and triumphant

Bringing to others happiness and comfort

Scrooge:

They think Christmas is faithful, joyful and

triumphant

Bringing to others happiness and comfort.

Bah, humbug to you all now let me go in peace alone
