Ebenezer Scrooge - Teresa Brewer

Ebenezer Scrooge, the sins of man are huge!

A never-ending symphony of villainy and infamy,

duplicity, deceit and subterfuge.

And no one’s worse than Ebenezer Scrooge!

Though man’s a handy candidate for Hell,

I must admit life sometimes has

its brighter side as well!

I like life!

Life likes me!

Life and I fairly fully agree

Life is fine!

Life is good!

'Specially mine which is just as it should be!

I like pouring the wine and why not?

Life’s a pleasure that I deny not

I like life here and now

Life and I made a mutual vow

Till I die, life and I,

We’ll both try to be better somehow

And if life were a woman she would be my wife

Why?

Why?

Because I like life!

That’s all very well for you but not for me.

I hate life.

Scrooge, you’re an even bigger fool than I took you for!

Now you listen to me.

I like life.

Well, go on!

I like life

That’s better!

Life likes me

Life likes me

Good!

Good!

I make life a perpetual spree

Perpetual spree

Eating food

Drinking wine

Thinking who’d like the privilege to dine me

I like drinking the drink I’m drinking

That’s better, Scrooge!

I like thinking the thoughts I’m thinking

I like songs, I like dance

I hear music and I’m in a trance

Tra la la!

Oompapah!

Chances are we shall get up and prance

Where there’s music and laughter happiness is rife

Why?

Why?

Because I like life!

Where there’s music and laughter happiness is rife

Why?

Because I like life

See how much we like life!
