Scrooge Edit

A few of us are endeavoring to raise a fund

A glass of Bob Cratchit's hot punch and a song from Tiny Tim

A Merry Christmas to us all.

A Merry Christmas to you, sir, from Father Christmas himself.

A Merry Christmas, everybody.

A Merry Christmas, Tiny Tim.

A never ending symphony Of villainy and infamy

A penny for the baby, sir.

A perpetual spree

A plague on Father Christmas.

A poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every 25th of December.

A singular honor.

A small token of Christmas esteem with the compliments of Tom Jenkins.

A solitary boy neglected by his family is left there still.

A thing you can't touch, I disagree

A year older and not a day richer?

About that 6 pounds you owe me.

After the Christmas morning show.

Ah! I almost forgot.

ALL [SINGING]: For he's a jolly good fellow

All right, Mr. Scrooge. Two pounds 10.

All right, my friends, all right. I understand your excitement.

All right?

All the joy and beauty That a Merry Christmas...

All these people owe me money.

All your nobler dreams that I loved I've seen die off one by one

ALL: December the 25th Correct

ALL: December the 25th Correct

ALL: December the 25th Correct

ALL: December the 25th Correct

ALL: December the 25th Correct

ALL: Hear.

ALL: Merry Christmas, Mr. Scrooge.

ALL: Yeah!

ALL: You may.

Always a delicate creature whom a breath might have withered.

Am I in the presence of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come?

And 1846 is the best vintage in 20 years.

And a horse and a spinning top.

And a living legend throughout the length and breadth of Camden Town.

And a piano.

And about time too, Bob Cratchit.

And as for you, nephew, if you were in my will, I'd disinherit you.

And as I hope to be another man from what I was,

And at only tuppence a pint, you can't really grumble.

And be good enough to leave me alone during business hours.

And besides, I like old Scrooge.

And decrease the surplus population.

And decrease the surplus population.

And each boy shall receive a half a crown.

And enjoy the beauty

And flatterers and fools

And for the sake of your father,

And God knows they cost more than they are worth.

And he goes for a sleigh ride

And he sends his best to you too, guv'nor.

And he'll steal it

And here they are, the one and only carol singing Cratchits.

And I am the cause.

And I cannot afford to make idle people merry.

And I don't care if they hate me

And I don't know whether or not I imagined the things I saw.

And I have many more calls to make.

And I release you with a full heart for the love of him you once were.

And I shall require the services of several small boys

And I will give it all that I have left to give.

And I will give you a hundred guineas for your most worthy cause.

And I'll have that and some of those.

And I'll live in praise Of that moment when

And I'll make quite certain That the story ends

And I'll thank the world And remember when

And I'm here to say We should all send Father Christmas

And I'm sure that I do mean that.

And I've got 15 shillings in my pocket.

And if I had a bugle I would blow it

And if I had a cannon I would fire it

And if I had a cannon I would fire it

And if I had a flag I'd hang me flag out

And if I had a flag I'd hang me flag out

And if life were a woman She would be my wife

And if life were a woman She would be my wife

And is given by other ministers than I to other kinds of men than you.

And it is not fair.

And it is only once a year, sir.

And it shines in the sky for me

And long life of my celebrated Uncle Ebenezer.

And make some room here before Mrs. Fezziwig

And may this be the merriest Christmas of all our lives.

And Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge.

And Mr. Marley has been dead these seven years.

And my daughters arrive with the punchbowl.

And no one's worse Than Ebenezer Scrooge

And not a penny rise in eight years.

And now

And now

And now I can see

And now I'll never be rid of it

And now is as good a time as any.

And on Monday when your salary will be doubled...

And only tuppence a pint.

And parsimonious of all living creatures...

And sell it

And since I left my cannon at home

And so I am not enough for you.

And so I can release you.

And so say all of us

And so say all of us

And some of these.

And some trumpets.

And strong too. I used to carry sacks around all day.

And suddenly, you're not there anymore.

And that doll.

And that goes for anyone else who owes me money, you can keep it.

And that other fellow.

And the future I build will be something that will last.

And the hobby horse, and then some flutes and...

And the magnificence of his Christmas celebrations

And the most generous spirit.

And the same every Christmas.

And the third when the bell tolls 3.

And the workhouses, are they still in operation?

And there'll be a free can of broth, sir, every night for the coming year

And therefore I would simply like to say

And these, and these.

And these, Bob Cratchit, are for you and your good lady.

And this pretty little dolly is for you.

And those of us what has been in debt to Mr. S over all these years

And to this day I can never understand this extraordinary ritual

And to Tiny Tim for the health we wish him.

And to your enchanting wife.

And we will get him well, you know, Bob.

And we'll have her back on her regal feet in no time.

And what is that great chain you wear?

And yet you don't think me ill used when I pay a day's wages for no work.

And yet, there is nothing it condemns with such severity

And you are to show me shadows of the things

And you will celebrate Christmas by losing your position.

And you will dismiss the recollection of it gladly as an unprofitable dream

And, uh, what will become of Tiny Tim?

And... And all those dolls.

Another fantastic coup by young Timothy Cratchit.

Another word from you, Cratchit,

Any more than you will ever be rid of yours.

Anyway, that's the reason I ask him to come here every Christmas.

Are we happy? Yes, we are

As I said to the Lord Mayor,

As my brothers said you'd be.

As of this day, all my debts are ended.

As the lord mayor of London himself.

As the pursuit of wealth.

As though you hadn't got enough problems,

As you can imagine, it's a very busy day for me.

Ask anyone called Robinson Or Brown or Jones or Smith

At only 7 years of age,

At that price it should be.

At this time of the year people can't afford to pay.

At times our friends may seem To be devoid of wit and pith

At times we're glad to see the back Of all our kin and kith

Bah, humbug.

Be careful, he may be worse than the one you know.

Be gone from here and take your infernal Merry Christmas with you.

Be happy in the life you have chosen.

Be holding that turkey and I'll give you a half a crown.

Because he loves us all And he knows it

Because I couldn't do it.

Because I fell in love with the lady.

Because I like life

Because I like life

Because I like life

Because I like life

Because I like life

Because I'm here to say We should all send Father Christmas

Because I've had a slight stomach disorder.

Because it is a time when want is keenly felt and abundance rejoices.

Because life hates me, that's why.

Because you earned it, my love.

Beg me on their knees befriend them

Beg your pardon, lady.

Begin again

Begin.

Believe me, you earned it.

Beware

Beware Beware

Beware, Cratchit.

Beyond a doubt, one day stands out

Blimey. Who's he?

Boo. Kathy, my dear.

BOTH [SINGING]: Where there's music and laughter

BOTH: Fifteen shillings?

BOTH: Oh, thank you, Mr. Scrooge.

BOY 1: Come on, this house here.

BOY 1: Come on.

BOY 2: All right, come on, hurry up. BOY 3: All right, all right.

BOY 4: Regards, Father Christmas. Humbug.

Boy. Boy, boy, what day is it?

BOYS [SINGING]: Father Christmas, Father Christmas

BOYS [SINGING]: Hark the herald angels sing

BOYS: Merry Christmas. Get away from me, you scavengers.

But 'til Christmas morning No one knows

But all of us are humorous

But as I know your purpose is to do me good,

But be here all the earlier the next morning.

But between the pair of us we...

But he paid me the money.

But he was light to carry for it was no trouble, no trouble.

But his money paid for the goose, my dear.

But I think he's walked a little slower these last few evenings.

But I'm alive.

But in a changed nature, yes.

But Mr. Scrooge and I had a lot of last minute business to attend to.

But my delight is such

But not for himself.

But now that I look at you, I can see they were understating the truth.

But she had a large heart.

But since I left me cannon at home I'll simply have to say

But since I left me drummer at home I'll simply have to say...

But since I left me flag at home

But since I left me flag at home I'll simply have to say

But since I left my bugle at home I'll simply have to say

But since I left my bugle at home I'll simply have to say

But since I left my drummer at home I'll simply have to say

But since the ultimate intention is to put them both inside ourselves,

But that's all right

But there's a date we celebrate

But things the way they are

But things the way they are I feel as if another life's begun for me

But we scarcely make that much in a week.

But we seldom attend to it, as you shall see.

But we still have so much to talk about, haven't we?

But what is to become of me?

But why do you walk the earth?

But you don't keep it.

But you see, Mr. Scrooge, sir,

But you were always a good man of business.

But you were gonna marry me.

But you're about to find out.

But, uh, would it be too much trouble for me to have my, uh, wages, sir?

Calculating swindlers Prevaricating frauds

Can I climb it?

Can you sit down?

Chain wasn't ready for your arrival.

Chances are I shall get up and prance

Chances are I shall get up and prance

Chances are we shall get up And prance

Children, we shall drink to your father,

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Christmas a humbug? Come now, I'm sure you don't mean that.

Christmas boxes Tied with pretty bows

Christmas day's a wonder to behold

Christmas hopes and joys

Christmas is for children Young and old

Christmas lunch is sharp at 3. May we expect you?

Christmas presents shine In the Christmas windows

Christmas puddings Rich with Christmas cream

Christmas punch, it's a Cratchit specialty.

Christmas trees and toys

CHUCKLES]

Clean living, thrifty And kind as can be

Come and see what we've been up to.

Come here, Scrooge. I'm waiting for you.

Come now.

Come on, dear boy. Let's go and open the toy shop.

Come on.

Come over here, you weird little man.

Come to my office on Monday morning

Comfort comes from other sources, Ebenezer Scrooge.

Coming here with their Christmas nonsense.

Contaminating everything they see

Correct, Cratchit.

Corrupting honest men

Couldn't be with us tonight.

Couldn't I take them all at once, and get it over with, Jacob?

CRATCHIT: Ethel, my dear, the children. It's Christmas.

CRATCHIT: God bless us.

CRATCHIT: Good boy.

Dear, oh, dear.

Dine with me wife and me tomorrow.

Do you happen to know if they've sold the prize turkey

Do you know the butcher's in the next street but one?

Do you like it?

Do you not agree?

Do you remember these children?

Don't be angry.

Don't be so dismal, Uncle Ebenezer.

Don't leave me, Marley.

Don't leave me.

Don't let them do this to me, Marley. I beg you.

Don't mock me, spirit.

Don't they know that I'm trying to run a business here?

Don't worry about your goose, Mrs. Cratchit.

Doubled? He has gone mad.

Dream where my past has gone

Drinking wine

Duplicity, deceit and subterfuge

Each year at this time, one of us visits this puny little planet

Earning what Their sweatiness fetches

Eating food

Eating food, drinking wine

Ebby. Dear, dear brother.

Empty minds Whose pettiness stretches

Enjoy the beauty All the joy and beauty

Especially mine Which is just as it should be

Especially mine Which is just as it should be

Every Christmas treat

Every Christmas, Father Christmas

Every idiot who goes about with Merry Christmas on his lips

Excellent. Then I suggest you do so.

Excuse me, sir. But, well, it's 7:00, sir.

Fantastic they were.

Farewell, Scrooge.

Father Christmas

Father Christmas Father Christmas

Father Christmas Father Christmas

Father is so much kinder than he used to be.

Feeding on their fellow men Reaping rich rewards

FEZZIWIG: Hey.

FEZZIWIG: Hi de ho.

FEZZIWIG: Mrs. Fezziwig.

FEZZIWIG: Mrs. Fezziwig.

Fezziwig's daughter.

Fifteen shillings a week at three pence an hour.

Fifteen shillings a week. A wife and five children.

Fifteen shillings.

For a moment I was afraid that something had occurred

For all the love and happiness he gives us.

For happiness

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

For pity's sake, Marley. Leave me in peace.

For the poor and the destitute.

For the time being, I think it better you see things as they really are.

For the time of Christmas is here

For the time of Christmas is here

For what our friend Has done for us today

Four pence for a Christmas pudding.

Fran!

From an old fool who deeply regrets the Christmases gone by

From Father Christmas

From which it happened well that you awoke.

Full of fools babbling Merry Christmas at one another?

Further than I can see

Generous spirit? You?

Gentlemen, Merry Christmas.

Get in debt then try to end it

Get on with your work, Cratchit.

Get out of here.

Getting yourself all upset over nothing.

Ghost of the Future, I fear you more than any apparition I have seen.

GHOST: Ebenezer Scrooge.

GHOST: Welcome, Scrooge.

GHOST: What an unpleasant child.

Give me wings and let me fly

Glory to the newborn king

Glory to the newborn king

Glory to the newborn king

Go and fetch your things.

Go and wake up the butcher and tell him to open his shop.

Go on, run. Run, run.

Go on.

God and sinners reconciled

God and sinners reconciled

God bless us, everyone.

God bless you this Christmas day, Mr. Scrooge.

God save me from Christmas. It's a lot of humbug.

God save you.

Good afternoon, sir.

Good afternoon.

Good for nothing, kickable creatures

Good fortune comes my way

Good night, gentlemen.

Good night, good night. Thank you.

Good, good.

GORDON: The minister's cat is a lordly cat

GRAHAM: The minister's cat is a languid cat

Gulping ale from indolent glasses

GUY: The minister's cat is a ludicrous cat

Ha, ha. Good boy. And why not one in particular?

Ha, ha. No, I didn't steal it.

Ha, ha. What a wonderful boy.

Half a crown, yes, Mr. Scrooge.

Half past 10?

Happiness is a bright star

Happiness is a clear sky

Happiness is a high hill

Happiness is a tall tree

Happiness is rife

Happiness is smiling upon me

Happiness is standing beside me

Happiness is whatever

Happiness is whatever You want it to be

Happiness is whatever You want it to be

Hard working me

Hark the herald angels sing

Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the...

Hark the herald angels sing Glory to...

Harry, I've visited you every Christmas for the past five years,

HARRY: God knows it's high time he did.

HARRY: Oh, God forbid, Tom.

HARRY: Then I know in my heart that I am truly a man of goodwill.

HARRY: You see, I look at it this way:

HARRY'S WIFE: All right, Harry, that's enough.

HARRY'S WIFE: The minister's cat is a lascivious cat

Have I ever asked to be released?

Have provided our sumptuous Christmas repast.

Have we the pleasure of addressing Mr. Scrooge or Mr. Marley?

Have you taken leave of your senses?

He had this daughter.

He has just done for us all.

He has the power to make us happy or unhappy,

He is indeed the most despicable old miser,

He sent me in a coach to bring you home, Ebby.

He'd have indigestion for a month.

He's a crafty one

He's a stingy lout

He's merely spent a few pounds of your mortal money,

He's out, he's out.

He's out, next M. Come on, M, M, M.

He's out.

He's playing with other people's money.

He's right. For you they are.

He's the greatest man In the whole wide world

He's the meanest man In the whole wide world

He's the rottenest man In the universe

Hell fire and damnation.

Hello.

Help me. Help me.

Help, help, help!

Help, help!

Help, help!

Help!

Help!

Help! Help!

Her name was Isabel.

Here are some sovereigns and you can keep the change.

Here it is now.

Here we are, my dear Ebenezer.

Here we are, my loves. Look what we've brought for you.

Here we go round the mulberry bush On a cold and frosty morning

Here. I want to look in the window.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey!

Hi de hi, it's Christmas Eve, Dick. It's Christmas, Ebenezer.

Hi de ho and chirrup. No more work today, me boys.

Hmph. Raise my clerk's wages.

Ho ho ho. And so is his wife. Couldn't you tell?

Hot broth, Mr. Scrooge,

How did you do, Tiny Tim?

How now.

How shall I ever understand this world?

However, I will allow you an extra week's credit.

Huh.

Humbug.

Humbug.

Hypnotizes children young and old

I abhor them

I almost forgot.

I am going away, Ebenezer. You will not see me again.

I am prepared to bear you company.

I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.

I am the Spirit of Christmas Present.

I am the spirit whose coming was foretold to you.

I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Scrooge.

I beg your pardon, sir.

I believe in you absolutely.

I believe that story we've been told

I can bear it no more.

I can honestly say that I haven't enjoyed a Christmas as much as this

I can see him, he can see me

I can't help feeling that hidden somewhere deep inside

I can't see, I can't see.

I can't see, I can't...

I can't see.

I could do with another of them drinks.

I could never join in those Christmas parties.

I could see her

I deplore them

I despise and abominate people

I detest them

I did love her, you know.

I don't hear any arguments So may I say forthwith

I don't know what to do.

I don't know whether you can hear me, old Jacob Marley.

I don't make myself merry at Christmas

I don't pay good money for you to be forever on holiday.

I don't suppose it very much matters.

I feel as if a losing war

I feel as if a losing war Has been won for me

I feel as if another life's Begun for me

I feel as if they're polishing The sun for me

I feel as if they're polishing The sun for me

I give you one Christmas day off and you expect them all.

I hate life.

I hate people

I hate people

I hate people

I hate people

I have been forced to support

I have labored unceasingly all my life.

I have never met any of your brothers, sir.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I have to leave you now.

I haven't got any chains.

I hear music and I'm in a trance

I hear music and I'm in a trance

I hear music and I'm in a trance

I heard you were coming down today, so I thought I'd come to greet you.

I knew there was something.

I know that tune. I used to sing it when I was a lad.

I leave you with just the tiniest chance of escaping my fate.

I let you go away

I let you go away

I like all of them.

I like drinking the drink I'm drinking

I like life

I like life here and now

I like life, here and now

I like life, life likes me

I like living the life of pleasure

I like pouring the wine and why not?

I like pouring the wine and why not?

I like songs, I like dance

I like songs, I like dance

I like that dolly in the corner.

I like that one.

I like thinking the thoughts I'm thinking

I loathe people

I made it link by link and yard by yard while on Earth.

I make life a perpetual spree

I may sound double Dutch

I may sound double Dutch But my delight is such

I mean, everybody knows he's the most miserable old skinflint

I must admit, I found it hard to believe you'd be as horrible

I must admit, life sometimes Has its brighter side as well

I must be mad. There are no giants.

I must confess I find it not altogether unamusing.

I must go now, my little fellow.

I must leave you now.

I must leave you now.

I must say he looks uncommonly happy for someone so deep in debt.

I mustn't show weak eyes to your father when he gets home.

I never thought The future would be fun for me

I never thought The future would be fun for me

I promised your mother I'd help her with the Christmas dinner.

I refuse to have Christmas haunted by Uncle Ebenezer.

I remember him. Dick Wilkins.

I said good afternoon.

I see that all too clearly.

I shall remember this moment until my dying day.

I should have given them something, that's all.

I should have thought it was obvious.

I should hope so.

I suppose that children everywhere

I swear it.

I think Bob Cratchit's really rather fond of me.

I think I'm gonna like children.

I thought I was rather good at it.

I was able to

I was able to begin again

I was his apprentice.

I wear the chain I forged in life.

I who must travel on

I will build my life.

I will live to know that I've fulfilled my life.

I will make amends

I will start anew

I will take the time I have left to live

I wish I had him here.

I wish to be left alone, sir. That is what I wish.

I wish...

I wonder you don't go into politics. You're fool enough.

I would ask you to drink a toast to the sparkling good health

I... I think I'd rather not.

I'd give him a piece of my mind to feast upon.

I'd rather have the dolly in the corner.

I'd rather have the oranges.

I'll be there. Oh, you are a pretty girl.

I'll begin again.

I'll begin today.

I'll come and see you again tomorrow.

I'll even drink to that old miser, Mr. Scrooge.

I'll have that.

I'll make life a perpetual spree

I'll not believe it.

I'll simply have to say

I'll take it home.

I'm alive.

I'm as giddy as a drunken man.

I'm as happy as an angel.

I'm as light as a feather.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm doomed to wander through the world

I'm going to have Christmas dinner with my family.

I'm in my own room.

I'm not changed towards you, am I?

I'm not in hell at all.

I'm ready for you, wherever you are.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I'm sure there are. Can I have some more?

I'm very glad to hear it.

I've come to say goodbye.

I've discovered that I like life.

I've got a chance to change and I will not be the man I was.

I've never been quite sure.

I've never heard such a lot of self pitying drivel.

I've seen the error of my ways. I will repent.

If he's going to die, then he'd better do it

If Her Most Gracious Majesty is feeling bored, I said,

If I can wish a Merry Christmas to him,

If I could work my will, nephew,

If it snows, then he may ride all night

If my wish could come true somehow

If my wish could come true somehow

If my wish could come true somehow

If there's a day in history That's more than any myth

If there's one thing in the world

If they would rather die then they had better do it

If you lift your eyes There's a big surprise

If you met me today, you would not love me.

If you weigh me by gain, I weigh very little.

If you would prefer me to confiscate your store and its contents,

In a world I would love to see

In everlasting repentance.

In everything that made my love of value to you, yes.

In fact it looks so bright

In fact it looks so bright

In gratitude for your infinite kindness in giving me another two weeks to pay.

In life, I was your partner, Jacob Marley.

In the forlorn hope that one day he might pick up enough goodwill

In the whole wide world And he knows it

In the whole wide world You can feel it

In words, no.

In your miserable lifetime?

Infernal, horrible caterwauling.

Insolent young ruffians.

Is a beautiful place Where the sun comes out

Is hardly conducive to my welfare.

Is it too bright for you?

Is one of lasting gratitude

Is one of the culinary miracles of our day.

Is that so, spirit?

Is the child very sick?

Is the folly of fools

Is this the future?

Is well represented by his surviving partner.

Is whatever you want it to be

Is whether to put the stuffing inside the goose

Isabel, I find it impossible to discuss personal affairs during business hours.

ISABEL: You see?

Isabel?

Isabel.

Isabel.

It is more than usually desirable, uh,

It is not convenient.

It is? Go and buy it.

It isn't every day

It isn't every day Good fortune comes me way

It needs to be Christmas, Bob,

It sounds a bit bizarre

It sounds a bit bizarre

It was a dream.

It was as heavy and long as this seven Christmases ago.

It was for pity's sake I came here.

It will cost you nothing, which I'm sure will be good news for you.

It's a crime

It's a lot of...

It's a present for you to keep.

It's a scandal

It's a shame he's a villain

It's a terrible ponderous chain you are making, Scrooge.

It's all in your imagination.

It's all right, my dear. There's nothing to be frightened of.

It's as well to know That we told you so

It's Christmas day. I haven't missed it.

It's even bigger than I thought it would be.

It's freezing cold in here.

It's humbug I tell you.

It's humbug still.

It's Mr. Scrooge.

It's Mr. Scrooge. He's gone mad.

It's my best day of the year.

It's no pleasure to me, sir, to be addressed by either of you.

It's not a dream, Ebenezer.

It's nothing to do with money.

It's so big,

It's the dolly in the corner.

It's the hypocrisy of a happy marriage with some idiot lovesick female.

It's undoubtedly affected my vision.

It's very funny.

It's wonderful. I've never tasted anything like it.

JAMES: The minister's cat is a...

JOHN: It's Papa. Where is he?

Join the triumph of the skies

JOY: The stuffing's ready, father.

Joyful all the nations...

Joyful all ye nations rise

Just like Christmas itself.

KEN: The minister's cat is a lonely cat

KIDS [SINGING]: Sing a song of gladness and cheer

KIDS: Christmas morning SCROOGE: Christmas morning

KIDS: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

KIDS: In the morning SCROOGE: In the morning

KIDS: Tiny Tim. Come on, Tim.

Ladies and gentlemen, if I may steal a moment of your valuable time,

Later.

Lead on, spirit. Lead on.

Leave your door undone He'll go in your house

Leave your stocking out For your Christmas gift

Lest their dreadful fate be yours

Let me assure you that I am a man of the highest principles

Let me fly

Let us look at another Christmas.

Life and I fairly fully agree

Life and I fairly fully agree

Life and I made a mutual vow

Life and I made a mutual vow

Life is fine

Life is fine, life is good

Life is full of cretinous wretches

Life is good

Life likes me

Life's a pleasure that I deny not

Little wonder

Live with a memory

Loathsome, inexplicable creatures

London bridge is falling down My fair lady

Long life to him and to us all.

Look around about you and see
