Muppets The Scrooge Lyrics

Scrooge 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 (yeah)

 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

 ("Yucka", "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 inside

 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

 

 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

 He'll practice and rehearse

 And all that work is paying off

 'Cause Scrooge is getting worse

 Every day, in every way, Scrooge is getting worse
