A Christmas Story

(アルバム： A Christmas Carol - 2020)

[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 passed 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
