The Muppets Marley and Marley

Tekst piosenki

(Spoken)
Statler: It is required of every man that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow men

Waldorf: And if that spirit goes not forth in life, he is condemned to do so after death

Statler: To witness what he can not share, but might have shared and turned to happiness

(Singing)

Both: We’re Marley and Marley. Avarice and greed

Statler: We took advantage of the poor. Just ignored the needy

Both: We specialized in causing pain, spreading fear and doubt

Waldorf: And if you could not pay the rent, we simply threw you out

(Spoken)

Waldorf: There was the year we evicted the entire orphanage!

Statler: I remember the little tykes all standing in the snow bank

Waldorf: With their little frostbitten teddy bears!
Both: (laugh) Ooooh

(Singing)

Both: We’re Marley and Marley. Our hearts were painted black

Statler: We should have known our evil deeds would put us both in shackles

Both: Captive, bound, we’re double-ironed, exhausted by the weight

Statler: As freedom comes from giving love

Waldorf: So, prison comes with hate

Both: We’re Marley and Marley

Ghosts: Whoooooo

Both: We’re Marley and Marley

Ghosts: Whoooooo

(Spoken)

Waldorf: True, there was something about mankind we loved

Statler: I think it was their money!

Both: (laugh)

(Singing)

Both: Doomed, Scrooge! You’re doomed for all time!

Waldorf: Your future is a horror story, written by your crime

Both: 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?

Both: We’re Marley and Marley

Ghosts: Whoooooo

Both: We’re Marley and Marley

Ghosts: Whoooooo

Both: 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

Both: The future’s up to you!

Both: We’re Marley and Marley

Ghosts: Whoooooo

Both: We’re Marley and Marley
Ghosts: Whoooooo
Both: We’re Marley and Marley
Ghosts: Whoooooo

All:Change!
