Marley and Marley

Paul Williams

[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!
