Ebenezer Scrooge
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!
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.

Well, go on!
I like life
That's better!
Life likes me
Life likes me
Good! Good!
I make life a perpetual spree

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!
