Marley and Marley

Lyrics

[STATLER, spoken] It is required of every man that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow men [WALDORF, spoken] And if that spirit goes not forth in life, he is condemned to do so after death [STATLER, spoken] To witness what he can not share, but might have shared and turned to happiness [STATLER & WALDORF] We're Marley and Marley Avarice and greed [STATLER] We took advantage of the poor Just ignored the needy [STATLER & WALDORF] We specialized in causing pain Spreading fear and doubt [WALDORF] And if you could not pay the rent We simply threw you out [WALDORF, spoken] There was the year we evicted the entire orphanage [STATLER, spoken] I remember the little tykes all standing in the snow bank [WALDORF, spoken] With their little frostbitten teddy bears [STATLER & WALDORF] *laughes* Oooo We're Marley and Marley Our hearts were painted black [STATLER] We should have known our evil deeds would put us both in shackles [STATLER & WALDORF] Captive, bound, we're double-ironed, exhausted by the weight [STATLER] As freedom comes from giving love [WALDORF] So, prison comes with hate [STATLER & WALDORF] We're Marley and Marley [GHOSTS] Whoooooo [STATLER & WALDORF] We're Marley and Marley [GHOSTS] Whoooooo [WALDORF, spoken] True, there was something about mankind we loved [STATLER, spoken] I think it was their money! [STATLER & WALDORF] *laughes* Doomed, Scrooge! You're doomed for all time [WALDORF] Your future is a horror story, written by your crime [STATLER & WALDORF] Your chains are forged by what you say and do [GHOSTS] So, have your fun; when life is done, a nightmare waits for you [WALDORF] Funny? [STATLER] Money? [STATLER & WALDORF] We're Marley and Marley [GHOSTS] Whoooooo [STATLER & WALDORF] We're Marley and Marley [GHOSTS] Whoooooo [STATLER & WALDORF] We're Marley and Marley and now it's time to part [WALDORF] To go back where they keep our kind [STATLER] The wretched and the heartless [WALDORF] The news we shared has got you scared [STATLER] We're glad that we got through [WALDORF] So make amends [STATLER] And make some friends [STATLER & WALDORF] The future's up to you We're Marley and Marley [GHOSTS] Whoooooo [STATLER & WALDORF] We're Marley and Marley [GHOSTS] Whoooooo [STATLER & WALDORF] We're Marley and Marley [GHOSTS] Whoooooo [ALL] Change!
