Ghost of Marley
[Marley:] Don't ask me who I am but who I was I'm not the man I used to be In life I was your partner by your side The greed we share has brought me here [Scrooge:] Spirit please, leave me be, I don't know you can be Tell me more, say your name. 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
