It was Christmas eve, I was all alone And my old heart was just like a stone And I didn't want no one to bother me My eyes were red, my lips were blue My cheeks were cold and shriveled too I's as mean as mean could ever be But look at all I'd come to own Those velvet walls, that golden throne I'd sit inside and hide my misery And the only friend that I could claim Is a pale old ghost who came in change To warn me of my ill-begottеn fate He said he livеd his life regretfully So full of fear and full of greed And for him the chance to change was much too late But he said that I was Ebenezer Scrooge That I still had some life to lose And that maybe I should open up the gate For spirits come from yesterday And spirits come from yet to come He said follow them, and do not hesitate Then he hung his head and he drifted away And he left me there that winter day So I opened up my heart to have a look And I saw all the way back to the day My true love no longer stay For I was just a miser and a crook And with her parting but a year behind I saw the life she went on to find It was a picture-perfect storybook And it made me cry as my buckles shook Oh my, oh I had found the hook I got out of there, that was all I could take Then I looked out through the frosted glass To see the world that's yet to pass And returned to my ignorance at once But on the snowy streets below I saw children with no place to go Forgotten in the cold winter morn' And it made me cry as my buckles shook And once again I found the hook I saw the world outside that I denied And life was turning into dream My heart was bursting the seams Bah, Humbug, I tried it, but I lied Christmas Eve will soon be Christmas morning Not before it's final warning The spirit of what's yet to come It showed me the funeral of a rich old man Who never shared or lent a hand And no one cared to say goodbye It showed me the funeral of a poor young boy Who lived a life of love and joy And the whole town cried and cried Oh why, oh why, oh me oh my I'm on my knees I'm horrified To think of all the lies that I believe For all my wealth and all my clout There's so much I have gone without Forgive me, oh mercy me As sure as I am here to say As sure as this is Christmas day Redemption is my guarantee So I made my plate, I took my place Among the ones that live in grace With love and generosity For I am Ebenezer Scrooge Though I am old, my day is new It's Christmas time and I'm free It's Christmas time and I'm free It's Christmas time and I'm free Yeah, It's Christmas time and I'm free Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhhh
