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!
