Here are the lyrics:

When a cold wind blows it chills you,
Chills you to the bone.
But there’s nothing in nature that freezes your heart like years of being alone.
It paints you with indifference like a lady paints with rouge.
And the worst of the worst,
The most hated and cursed,
Is the one that we call Scrooge.
Unkind as any, and the wrath of many,
This is that Ebenezer Scrooge.

Oh, there goes Mr. Humbug, there goes Mr. Grim.
If they gave a prize for bein mean the winner would be him.
Oh, Scroogey loves his money cause he thinks it gives him power,
If he became a flavor you can bet he would be sour.
Yuck, Even the vegetables don’t like him.

There goes Mr. Skin flint,
There goes Mr. Greed.
The undisputed master of the underhanded deed.
He charges folks a fortune for his dark and drafty houses.
Us small folk live in misery,
It’s even worse for mouses.
Please, sir, I want some cheese.

He must be so lonley, He must be so sad.
He goes to extremes to convince us he’s bad.
He’s really a victim of fear and of pride.
Look close and there must be a sweet man insid
Naaaah! Uh Uh.

There goes Mr. Outrage, there goes Mr. Sneer.
He has no time for friends or fun,
His anger makes that clear
Don’t ask him for a favor cause his nastiness increases.
No crust of bread for those in need,
No cheeses for us meeses.

Scrooge liked the cold.
He was hard and sharp as a flint.
Secretive, self contained.
As solitary as an oyster.

There goes Mr. Heartless, there goes Mr. Cruel.
He never gives, he only takes,
He lets this hunger rule.
If bein mean’s a way of life,
You practice and rehearse.
And all that work is paying off,
Cause Scrooge is getting worse.
Every day, in every way, Scrooge is getting worse.

I figured I would put the lyrics on here.
I know how much I like to sing along.

We’re Marley and Marley,
Averious and greed.
We took advantage of the poor,
Just ignored the needy
We specialized in causing pain,
Spreading fear and doubt.
nd if you could not pay the rent,
we simply threw you out.

There was the year we evicted the entire orphanage.
I remember the little tykes all standing in the snow bank.
With their little frost-bitten teddy bears.

We’re Marley and Marley,
Our hearts were painted black.
We should have known our evil deeds would put us both in shackles.
Captive, bound, we’re double-ironed,
Exhausted by the wait.
As freedom comes from giving love,
So, prison comes with hate.

We’re Marley and Marley, Whooooooa.
We’re Marley and Marley, Whooooooa.

But my friends, you were not unfeeling towards your fellow men.
True, there was something about mankind we loved.
I think it was there money.

Doomed, Scrooge! You’re doomed for all time.
Your future is a horror story, written by your crime.
Your chains are forged, by what you say and do.
So, have your fun when life is done, a nightmare waits for you.

Why these terrible chains?
Oooooh, the chains.
We forged these chains in life by our acts of greed. You wear such a chain yourself.
Humbug, speak comfort to me friends.
Comfort, aaahhhh.

You will be haunted by three spirits,
Haunted? I’ve already had enough of that.
Without these visits you can not hope to avoid the past we tred.
Expect the first ghost tonight, when the bell tolls 1.
Can’t I meet them all at once and get it over with?
When the bell tolls one…

We’re Marley and Marley, Whoooooa.
We’re Marley and Marley, Whoooooa.
We’re Marley and Marley, Whoooooa.
Change!
