Muppet Christmas Carol - Scrooge
George the Janitor:
When a cold wind blows it chills you
Chills you to the bone
Female Whatnot
But there's nothing in nature that freezes your heart
Like years of bein' alone
Pig:
It paints you with indifference
Like a lady paints with rouge
Blue Frackle:
And the worst of the worst
Aretha:
The most hated and cursed
Blue Frackle:
Is the one that we call Scrooge
(yeah)
Inkspot:
Unkind as any
Porcupine:
And the wrath of many
Inkspot:
This is Ebenezer Scrooge
All:
Oh! There goes Mr. Humbug
There goes Mr. Grim
If they gave a prize for bein' mean
The winner would be him
Farm Animals:
Old Scrooge he loves his money
'Cause he thinks it gives him power
Singing Food
If he became a flavor, you can bet he would be sour
(yuck!)
Pigeons:
There goes Mr. Skinflint
There goes Mr. Greed
Cats:
The undisputed master of the underhanded deed
Murray the Minstrel, Begoony, Mudwell, Others:
He charges folks a fortune for his dark and drafty houses
Murray the Minstrel, Begoony, Mudwell
Us poor folk live in misery
Mouse:
It's even worse for mouses
(Please sir, I want some cheese)
Female Carolers:
He must be so lonely
He must be so sad
He goes to extremes to convince us he's bad
He's really a victim of fear and of pride
Look close and there must be a sweet man inside...
(Spoken)
Nah!
Rat:
(Spoken)
Uh-Uh!
All:
There goes Mr. Outrage
There goes Mr. Sneer
Puppeteer:
He has no time for friends or fun
Crocodile Puppet:
His anger makes that clear
Horses:
Don't ask him for a favor cause his nastiness increases
Mr. Bittes:
No crust of bread for those in need
Mice:
No cheeses for us meeces
All:
There goes Mr. Heartless
There goes Mr. Cruel
Muppets:
He never gives
He only takes
He lets his hunger rule
Other Muppets:
If being mean's a way of life
You practice and rehearse
Pig:
Then all that work is payin' off
Pig and Pink Frackle:
Cause Scrooge is getting worse
All:
Every day, in every way
Scrooge is getting worse!

Muppet Christmas Carol - Room In Your Heart
Anybody can change, Scrooge
And so can you
When you're ready to start
There's room in your heart for love
Love, love, love
Anybody can grow, Scrooge
And you can, too
When you're doin' your part
There's room in your heart for love
If you want to live, give freely
And you will find
That what you get in trade, my friend
Is peace of mind
If you're ready to walk in the sunshine
Than open up your heart
Well, open up your pocketbook
It's the perfect place to start
(Beaker!)
Me me me me me me mee
(Yes)
What you're missing is fun, Scrooge
It's sad but true
Walk away from this gloom
There's room in your heart for love
Love, love, love
Me me me me me mee me me me me me
(Exactly, Beaker!)
When you're doing your best
You're suddenly blessed with love
If you want to live, give freely
And you will find
That what you get in trade, my friend
Is peace of mind
If you're ready to walk in the sunshine
Than open up your heart
Well, open up your pocketbook
It's the perfect place to start
Me me me me me me mee
(Start dancing, Beaker!)
Anybody can change, Scrooge
And so can you
When you're ready to start
There's room in your heart for love
Love, love
When you're ready to start
There's room in your heart for
Me me me
When you're ready to start
There's room in your heart for love

Muppet Christmas Carol - Marley And Marley
Paul Williams
We're Marley and Marley
Avarice and greed
We took advantage of the poor
Just ignored the needy
We specialized in causing pain
Spreading fear and doubt
And if you could not pay the rent
We simply threw you out
We're Marley and Marley
Our hearts were painted black
We should have known our evil deeds
Would put us both in shackles
Captive
Bound
We're double-ironed
Exhausted by the weight
As freedom comes from giving love
So, prison comes with hate
We're Marley and Marley
Whoooooo
We're Marley and Marley
Whoooooo
Doomed, Scrooge!
You're doomed for all time
Your future is a horror story
Written by your crime
Your chains are forged
By what you say and do
So, have your fun
When life is done
A nightmare waits for you
We're Marley and Marley
Whoooooo
We're Marley and Marley
Whoooooo
We're Marley and Marley
Whoooooo
We're Marley and Marley
Whoooooo
We're Marley and Marley
Whoooooo
CHANGE!

Muppet Christmas Carol - Chairman of the Board
Spoken:
It's a golden opportunity that's knocking
And you know by now the answer's up to you
But you're ready, because you have an education
So, be confident, there's nothing you can't do
You can soar above the mediocre
Soar above the rest!
If you do your work with vigor
You'll be bigger than the best!
Be proud of your ambitions
Being lazy is a curse
We want no empty pockets and we want no empty purse
Work for a living, love for your work
Don't think about vacations, you can overcome that quirk
Insist on being heard, a squeaky wheel can't be ignored
If you do what's right, if you prove you're bright
You'll be chairman of the board
Think about it, chair of the board
Yes!
Spoken:
Oh, Ebenezer, if only I could be you!
When the world snaps to attention, you should be the first to SNAP!
And you'll wind up on a mountain top with a feather in your cap
Keep your mind a'working and your feet firm on the ground
Your dedication makes you king, today you're being crowned
Keep your mind a'working and your feet firm on the ground
Your dedication makes you king, today you're being crowned
Your dedication makes you king, today you're being crowned

Muppet Christmas Carol - It Feels Like Christmas
It's in the singing of a street corner choir
It's going home and getting warm by the fire
It's true, wherever you find love
It feels like Christmas
A cup of kindness that we share with another
A sweet reunion with a friend or a brother
In all the places you find love
It feels like Christmas
It is the season of the heart
A special time of caring
The ways of love made clear
It is the season of the spirit
The message, if we hear it
Is make it last all year
It's in the giving of a gift to another
A pair of mittens that were made by your mother
It's all the ways that we show love
That feel like Christmas
A part of childhood we'll always remember
It is the summer of the soul in December
Yes, when you do your best for love
It feels like Christmas
It is the season of the heart
A special time of caring
The ways of love made clear
It is the season of the spirit
The message, if we hear it
Is make it last all year
It's in the singing of a street corner choir
It's going home and getting warm by the fire
It's true, wherever you find love
It feels like Christmas
It's true, wherever you find love
It feels like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
It feels like Christmas

Muppet Christmas Carol - Christmas Scat
'Tis the season to be jolly and joyous
Fa la laa
With a burst of pleasure we feel it arrive
Fa la laa

Fa la laa
To spread the news about peace and to keep love alive

Muppet Christmas Carol - Bless Us All
Life is full of sweet surprises
Everyday's a gift
The sun comes up and I can feel it lift my spirit
Fills me up with laughter
Fills me up with song
I look into the eyes of love and know that I belong
Bless us all, who gather here
The loving family I hold dear
No place on earth, compares with home
And every path will bring me back from where I roam
Bless us all, that as we live
We always comfort and forgive
We have so much, that we can share
With those in need we see around us everywhere
Let us always love each other
Lead us to the light
Let us hear the voice of reason, singing in the night
Let us run from anger and catch us when we fall
Teach us in our dreams and please, yes please
Bless us one and all
Bless us all with playful years,
With noisy games and joyful tears.
We reach for You and we stand tall,
And in our prayers and dreams
We ask You bless us all
We reach for You and we stand tall,
And in our prayers and dreams we ask You,
Bless us all

Muppet Christmas Carol - Thankful Heart
With a thankful heart
With an endless joy
With a growing family
Every girl and boy
Will be nephew and niece to me
(Nephew and niece to me)
Will bring love, hope and peace to me
(Love, hope and peace to me)
Yes, and every night will end
And every day will start
With a grateful prayer
And a thankful heart
With an open smile and with open doors
I will bid you welcome
What is mine is yours
With a glass raised to toast your health
(With a glass raised to toast your health)
And a promise to share the wealth
(Promise to share the wealth)
I will sail a friendly course
File a friendly chart
On a sea of love and a thankful heart
Life is like a journey
Who knows when it ends?
Yes, and if you need to know
The measure of a man
You simply count his friends
Stop and look around you
The glory that you see
Is born again each day
Don't let it slip away
How precious life can be
With a thankful heart that is wide awake
I do make this promise
Every breath I take
Will be used now to sing your praise
(Used now to sing your praise)
And beg you to share my day
(Beg you to share my days)
With a loving guarantee
That even if we part
I will hold you close in a thankful heart
I will hold you close in a thankful heart
In a thankful heart!

Muppet Christmas Carol - When Love is Gone
There was a time when I was sure
That you and I were truly one
That our future was forever
And would never come undone
And we came so close to being close
And though you cared for me
There's distance in your eyes tonight
So we're not meant to be
The love is gone
The love is gone
The sweetest dream
That you have ever known
The love is gone
The love is gone
I wish you well
But I must leave you now alone
There comes a moment in your life
Like a window and you see
Your future there before you
And how perfect life can be
But adventure calls with unknown voices
Pulling you away
Be careful or you may regret
The choice you make someday
When love is gone
When love is gone
The sweetest dream
That we have ever known
When love is gone
When love is gone
I wish you well
But I must leave you now alone
It was almost love
It was almost always
It was like a fairytale we'd live out
You and I
And yes some dream come true
And yes some dreams fall through
And yes the time has come for us to say goodbye
Yes some dreams come true
Yes some dreams fall through
And yes the time has come for us to say goodbye
