Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When a cold wind blows, it chills you
Chills you to the bone
But there's nothing in nature that freezes your heart
Like years of being alone
[Verse 2]
It paints you with indifference
Like a lady paints with rouge
And worst of the worst, the most hated and cursed
Is the one that we call Scrooge (Yeah)
[Verse 3]
Unkind as any, and the wrath of many
This is Ebenezer Scrooge
[Verse 4]
Oh, there goes Mr. Humbug, there goes Mr. Grim
If they gave you a prize for bein' mean, the winner would be him
Old Scrooge-y loves his money 'cause he thinks it gives him power
If he became a flavor, you can bet he would be sour
[Verse 5]
There goes Mr. Skinflint, there goes Mr. Greed
The undisputed master of the underhanded deed
He charges folks a fortune for his dark and drafty houses
Us poor folks live in misery, it's even worse for mouses
[Verse 6]
Please sir, I want some cheese
[Verse 7]
He must be so lonely, he must be so sad
He goes to extremes to convince us he's bad
He's real a victim of fear and of pride
Look close and there must be a sweet man inside
[Verse 8]
Nah, uh-uh
[Verse 9]
There goes Mr. Outrage, there goes Mr. Sneer
He has no time for friends or fun, his anger makes that clear
Don't ask him for a favor 'cause his nastiness increases
No crust of bread for those in need, no cheeses for us meeses
[Verse 10]
There goes Mr. Heartless, there goes Mr. Cruel
He never gives, he only takes, he lets his hunger rule
If bein' means a way of life, you practice and rehearse
Then all that work is payin' off 'cause Scrooge is gettin' worse (Yeah)
[Verse 11]
Everyday in every way
Scrooge is getting worse
