[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 each other

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 Christmas '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 welfare and of Christmas cheering

He fell to his knees

And past away that dark, black Christmas

Jacob Marley

Oh my friend and so you'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
