Scrooge:
I'm in a bed
Am I dead?
I wasn't sure if I'd wake up
Thought it was the end
Thank you, my friend
Thank you spirits, thank you Jacob
Jake, I'd kiss you if I could
The night is over, knock on wood
It feels so effin' good to be alive
I feel like a baby boy
I've never felt so drunk with joy
I've never felt such joy to still have time
Narrator:
Scrooge laughs the kind of laugh
That can wash away years of sadness
A huge laugh, an impressive laugh
For someone so out of practice
Scrooge:
Hey, boy! On the street!
Turkey Boy:
Mister, what you want with me?
Scrooge:
Please don't run away
Just tell me what's today?
Turkey Boy:
What's today?
Why, it's Christmas Day!
Christmas Day!
Scrooge & Turkey Boy:
For heaven's sake, it's Christmas Day!
Christmas Day!
Scrooge:
I'm not too late!
Hey!
Here's some cash, run to the shop
And buy the best looking turkey they got
The biggest and the fattest
And send it to Bob Cratchit!
Turkey Boy:
I can't carry that, it's fricking huge!
Scrooge:
Good point
Here's more cash, to cab it
Just don't say that it's from Scrooge
Turkey Boy & Scrooge:
Let's make Bob's day
On Christmas Day!
Turkey Boy:
Woohoo!
Scrooge:
(laughs)
Narrator:
So Scrooge is shaving
But he can't stop shaking
He cuts his face in 80 places
But he doesn't mind it
He's too excited
Running outside to see the neighbors' faces
Shouting "Merry Christmas" to everyone
And getting some funny looks from some
And just by chance, he sees the donation men
Scrooge:
My good sir, hope I'm not too late
Sorry I was an ingrate yesterday
But I wanna donate today if I still can
Narrator:
And Scrooge gives such a massive gift
It includes years and years of backpay
Narrator & Donation Man:
A huge gift
Such a generous gift
That it very nearly makes the man faint
Scrooge:
Thank you sir, please visit me
Donation Man:
Huh, will do Scrooge
Certainly
Scrooge: So happy to have met you
But I must run now to my nephew's
For Christmas Day
Christmas Day
There's a party at his place
So I can't delay
Scrooge & Donation Man:
Christmas Day
Christmas Day
Donation Man:
Okay! (laughs)
Narrator:
Scrooge gets to Fred's place and stands outside the door
Suddenly much more nervous than before
When Fred opens the door
Scrooge wants to run away
Not sure what to say
Scrooge:
It's your uncle Scrooge
I've been a fool
And don't wanna live as a stranger to you
Can you forgive
A dumb, old man?
Fred:
Listen man
Of course I can

To get to work early
Ensemble:

Christmas Electricity
Narrator:
He hides the grin from his face
When Bob comes in late
Scrooge:
So let me get this straight
You skip work, then come in late?
Why don't you just rob me, Bobby?
Or I'll give you a raise
Bob Cratchit, spoken:
Wait, what?
Scrooge, sung:
A raise, Bob
I said a raise
Bob Cratchit:
Sir are you okay?
Scrooge:
Never better
Bob Cratchit:
You're being crazy
Scrooge:
No Bob, you're priceless
Priceless
Merry Christmas

Some folks laughed and
Called it absurd
But Scrooge just laughed along with them

Bob and Emily Cratchit:
Scrooge became
A better man
Bob & Emily Cratchit, and Tiny Tim:
And like a second dad
To Tiny Tim
Ghost of Christmas Past & Ghost of Christmas Present & Ghost of Christmas Future:
So in our own past, present and future
We would do well to remember him
Scrooge:
So when you're stuck
Saying "Bah Humbug"
When you're shutting life out
Think of how this Scrooge turned things around
Ensemble:
The meanest man there ever was
Became the merriest man you ever found
The loveliest, the chummiest
Most generous, benevolent
The nicest neighbor, the smile-maker
The friendliest senior, the best demeanor
No one's sweeter than Ebenezer Scrooge!
