Paul Williams - Scrooge lyrics

George the Janitor: When a cold wind blows it chills you Chills you to the bone Female Whatnot: But there's nothing in nature that freezes your heart Like years of bein' alone Pig: It paints you with indifference Like a lady paints with rouge Blue Frackle: And the worst of the worst Aretha: The most hated and cursed Blue Frackle: Is the one that we call Scrooge (yeah) Inkspot: Unkind as any Porcupine: And the wrath of many Inkspot: This is Ebenezer Scrooge All: Oh! There goes Mr. Humbug There goes Mr. Grim If they gave a prize for bein' mean The winner would be him Farm Animals: Old Scrooge he loves his money Cause he thinks it gives him power Singing Food: If he became a flavor, you can bet he would be sour (yuck!) Pigeons: There goes Mr. Skinflint There goes Mr. Greed Cats: The undisputed master of the underhanded deed Murray the Minstrel, Begoony, Mudwell, Others: He charges folks a fortune for his dark and drafty houses Murray the Minstrel, Begoony, Mudwell: Us poor folk live in misery Mouse: It's even worse for mouses (Please sir, I want some cheese) Female Carolers: He must be so lonely 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... (Spoken) Nah! Rat: (Spoken) Uh-Uh! All: There goes Mr. Outrage There goes Mr. Sneer Puppeteer: He has no time for friends or fun Crocodile Puppet: His anger makes that clear Horses: Don't ask him for a favor cause his nastiness increases Mr. Bittes: No crust of bread for those in need Mice: No cheeses for us meeces All: There goes Mr. Heartless There goes Mr. Cruel Muppets: He never gives He only takes He lets his hunger rule Other Muppets: If being mean's a way of life You practice and rehearse Pig: Then all that work is payin' off Pig and Pink Frackle: Cause Scrooge is getting worse All: Every day, in every way Scrooge is getting worse!
