A Little Bit of Scrooge
There’s a little bit of Scrooge in everyone
A touch of Ebenezer underneath that grin
There’s a little bit of Scrooge in everyone
So open up the door and let him in
Christmas is a happy time, a time for reverie
A time for celebrating with friends and family
A time for giving gifts, for sharing love and joy
But it also is a time for getting grumpy and annoyed
The days are short, the lines are long,
I dont know what to get
I was gonna shop early, I havent started yet
The dinner party might be fun but I don’t want to go
A white Christmas would be great without the snow
(chorus)
Lights and decorations appearing everywhere
As songs of the season float through the air
Boxes from the attic, memories of the past
But it’s hard to enjoy it when you’re going so fast.
We buy too much, we want too much,
we eat too much too
We throw stuff away just because it isn’t new
We only want the latest, the biggest, and the best
It’s no wonder that so many are lonely and depressed.
(chorus)
The ghost of Christmas past, recalls the deeds weve done
I should’ves and I would’ves that cannot be undone
Christmas yet to come Well it’s just a crystal ball
It’s the present that’s our present it’s greatest gift of all
So when youre feeling grouchy, when you’re feeling down
Remember Ebenezer and the fortune that he found
He bought that that prize turkey, and then gave it away
He learned that life’s treasures are all within today.
(chorus)
