I Hate People Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse

Scrooge

0

(Verse)
Scavengers and sycophants and flatterers and fools
Pharisees and parasites and hypocrites and ghouls
Calculating swindlers! Prevaricating frauds!
Perpetrating evil as they roam the earth in hordes
Feeding on their fellow men, reaping rich rewards
Contaminating everything they see
Corrupting honest men like me
(Chorus)
I hate people, I hate people
People are despicable creatures
Loathsomе inexplicable creaturеs
Good-for-nothing kickable creatures
I hate people, I abhor them
When I see the indolent classes
Sitting on their indolent arses
Gulping ale from indolent glasses
I hate people, I detest them, I deplore them
Fools who have no money spend it
Get in debt then try to end it
Beg me on their knees befriend them
Knowing I have cash to lend them
Soft-hearted me, hard-working me
Clean-living, thrifty, and kind as can be
Situations like this are of interest to me
I hate people, I loathe people
I despise and abominate people
Life is full of cretinous wretches
Earning what their sweatiness fetches
Empty minds whose pettiness stretches
Farther than I can see
Little wonder I hate people
And I don't care if they hate me
