A Christmas Carol
This track is instrumental.
[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

Is it...? Jacob Marley No! I know you have been dead for seven years [Marley:] Tell me why you doubt your senses [Scrooge:] None of this is real, it can not be [Marley:] Now you're running out of chances [Scrooge:] Spirit tell me more, or leave me be [Marley:] These chains were forged in life by our Act of greed, can't you see, yours will come Now's your last chance for redemption [Scrooge:] Marley, my dear friend let me go in peace [Scrooge:] I have been your friend for all your time I beg of you, speak comfort to me I see your chain and realized that I May not await a kinder fate [Marley:] Your future's a horror story written by your crime That you will have to pay for the rest of your time [Scrooge:] Leave me alone, this can not happen now [Marley:] Tell me why you doubt your senses [Scrooge:] None of this is real, it can not be [Marley:] Now you're running out of chances [Scrooge:] Spirit tell me more, or leave me be [Marley:] These chains were forged in life by our Act of greed, can't you see, yours will come Now's your last chance for redemption [Scrooge:] Marley, my dear friend let me go in peace [Marley:] You will be haunted by 3 spirits Expect the 1st to arrive at Midnight The 2nd on the night after that And the last spirit will arrive On the 3rd night [Marley:] Tell me why you doubt your senses [Scrooge:] My mind can play me tricks, so could anyones [Marley:] Now tonight you have 3 chances [Scrooge:] Why can't all the spirits come at once?

[Scrooge:] Let’s go back to where it started Where my life was filled with peace Though alone, my dad cold hearted My sister Fan, made my darkness cease Was left at school every Christmas evening Then one day I found new meaning When they would invite me home Joyful, at ease – with family With the news that Fanny died I knew from this moment that I’m all alone (He thinks his alone when there’s all around him others) (That his lonely heart can’t see, it’s filled with greed) [Spirit:] Come and take my robe We will fly away [Scrooge:] Come with your robe, we fly away To a time of jolly and gay With the Ghost of Christmas Past Here to help me find my way On towards my glory days Of working for a jolly man Fezziwig, that kook, how he made us laugh and Took us in with open arms Dance ’til morning, singing, cheering Christmas time was always steering To a hope of better times I still can recall that joyful night When I met my love, my Belle Wish for the rest of my time That we could have made a life together [Spirit:] Come and take my robe We will fly away [Scrooge:] Come with your robe, we fly away To a time of jolly and gay With the Ghost of Christmas Past Here to help me find my way The hour strikes, it’s getting darker Then I see a lonely man Waiting for his true love Belle Knowing that she won’t show up She was my true love, I knew But she had found herself someone new [Spirit:] Consumed by greed, his lust for wealth Lost in his world, a tragic spell [Scrooge:] Now I know what could have been Should I regret that painful sin? How I chose my own success Before the only woman I have ever loved liked this [Spirit:] Come and take my robe We will fly away [Scrooge:] Come with your robe, we fly away To a time of jolly and gay With the help of the Ghost of the Christmas Past To show me on my way

[Bob Cratchit:] Another night of working late for this cold, heartless man They say his heart is filled with loneliness and filled with hate All this time I wondered how he could have been if Someone knew just what he need, and took away his act of greed Of all these years I've spent of working for this stubborn man I realized that wealth and fortune can't bring you all I can imagine how his life now could have been if Someone took his hand and said "I'll be your friend" If he only Knew the feeling Of coming home to those That you are holding close This day is so much more Than being all alone I wish the joy of Christmas I wish the joy would come to you Here I am with my loving family They make me feel like I'm the richest man so constantly I can't imagine how my life now would have been If no one had ever taken my hand and said "forever I'm your friend" If he only Knew the feeling Of coming home to those That you are holding close This day is so much more Than being all alone I wish the joy of Christmas Would find its way to you See now that man, I know he can change to a different person Where you'll find love, that's where you'll find Christmas - inside your heart It's time to now make amends, to tear down the fence and go out into the world And see all the joy that Christmas can bring I wish he'd only Had known the feeling Of having someone close Not being all alone If he only Knew the feeling Of coming home to those That you are holding close This day is so much more Than being all alone I wish the joy of Christmas I wish the joy would come to you If he only Knew the feeling Of coming home to those That you are holding close This day is so much more Than being all alone I wish the joy of Christmas I wish the joy would come to you This day is so much more Than being all alone I wish the joy of Christmas Would find its way back to you

[Scrooge:] You're the third... The ghost of Christmas yet to come Speak to me! Tell me what is to happen to me, to all of us Very well... Then show me, spirit. Show me what I must see... [Mr & Mrs Dilbert:] - Look at this, what I found when I went through his belongings It's like he never used this clock that's made of gold - What a waste of a man, he was cruel indeed and selfish And he died a lonely man, well so I'm told [Scrooge:] Who is this man, that they talk about? The one that for them seem so cruel Is he dead, I can't see Tell me spirit who's the man in front of me! [Townspeople:] - Have you heard? - He is dead! - What a pity - Who you said? Now he's lying there alone inside his rug - Good riddance! Always mean to the poor, and like many times before I got sick and tired, always hearing humbug [Scrooge:] Who is this man, they keep talking about? The one that for me now seem so cruel As it seems, this is strange If this future tells of me then I will change [Spirit:] Can't you see, this could be In a not so far reality Have your life been worth a single dime? All the pain, all the horror that Remains from your existence now Will leave a mark of sorrow for all time [Scrooge:] I see how the Cratchit's are mourning Wishing he still would be there A tiny crutch to the wall Tell me, Spirit, can you spare his life at all? [Spirit:] See the grave with a name that describes a pure evil [Scrooge:] I beg of you, show me no more! [Spirit:] This will be you if when the Christmas night is through you won't change [Scrooge:] I will change, spirit please let me go [Scrooge:] Spirit please, let me go, I can't handle any more Of this unpleasant, evil future what may come Saw the name of the grave and I know it's the same As the one I bare, please don't make it happen I know now, I know it too well how To prevent such a cruel lonely fate The spirits have opened my eyes now The past, the present and what future may become Saw the tears of the family mourning Of their son, that I know I could have saved Take me back, take me home, give me one more chance To change what will come Take me home Take me back, spirit...

[Scrooge:] Hey boy, can you tell me, what day is it today? [Boy:] Well of course there sir, it's Christmas day [Scrooge:] The spirits have done it all in one night Still there's time to make things right "And so Ebenezer realized that it's not too late For this old man to change his cruel fate He wandered the streets, singing songs of cheer Wishing everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year" [Scrooge:] I was greedy and cruel, felt so alone Nobody with me to call my own I thought I was happy, I thought I was right But the spirits they helped me last night By seeing the misery that I have caused The unhappiness brought me a tear So Merry Christmas to all And a Happy New Year [Spirit:] They first took him back to see when he was A happy, young child with a brighter future He had everything, but still wanted more Oh, how he have paid for that, since He treated his friends badly, every day No wonder he had no one near Now Merry Christmas to all And a Happy New Year See now that man, he's totally changed, he's a different person Where you find love, that's where you'll find Christmas - inside your heart, it's time... [Scrooge:] Time to now make amends To tear down the fence And go out into the world and see What wonderful things it can bring [Businessman:] He sure wouldn't spare just one single dime For the poor, little children that one day could die But now we can see him here all the time Spending his fortune, oh my He's walking the streets, smiling, waving so glad Singing songs of happy and cheer [Scrooge:] Merry Christmas to all and a happy new year Onto these glorious last days I have I will spend it all on cheer and joyful Time for friends, time for Fred And time for dear Tiny Tim Now I can't hardly believe I spent all these years living in fear Hiding inside my wall (Merry Christmas to all) Where I shortly would fall (The alliance forever) So Merry Christmas to all (Aahh Majepic Christmas time) And a Happy New Year Merry Christmas to you all And so it was, that since that day Ebenezer Scrooge celebrated Christmas in every kind of way And with the words of Tiny Tim, who's journey had just begun "Merry Christmas and god bless us, everyone"
