Song to smile about...
My Drama 10 class is performing a whole bunch of poems for Charlie Killam and various other schools in Camrose. We are in the process of memorization, rehearsal, analysis and all that jazz and we are all bored to tears. 4 of us, however, have a bit of an escape from the drawl repetitiveness of reciting poems. Don't get me wrong, i love poetry as much as the next gal, i just dont like repeating them over and over and over again...it gets REALLY boring. Callum, Melissa, Blue and I (the lucky four) are doing a puppet show (sock puppets mostly) to the song Ebenezer Scrooge from Muppet's Christmas Carol...and its actually alot of fun. So yay for us, here are the lyrics: purple lines are sung by liz's hand puppets / mouth, Blue does the blue lines, oddly enough, Green is for melissa, Callum sings the black lines, and we all sing them if they are bold
Ebenezer Scrooge
When a cold wind blows it chills you,
Chills you to the bone
But there's nothin' in nature that freezes your heart
Like years of bein' alone
Its paints you with indifference,
Like a lady paints with rouge
And the worst of the worst,
The most hated and cursed
Is the one that we call Scrooge
Un kind as any,
And the wrath of many,
This is that Ebenezer Scrooge
OH! There goes Mr. Humbug,
There goes mister Grim
If they gave a prize for bein' mean
The winner would be him
Oh, Scroogey loves his money
Cause he thinks it gives him power
If he became a flavor, you can bet he would be sour
(Even the vegetables don't like him!)
There goes mister Skin flint
There goes mister Greed
The undisputed master of the under-handed deed
He charges folks a fortune for his dark and drafty houses
Us small folk live in misery
Its even worse for mouses
(Please sir, I want some cheese)
He must be so lonely
He must be so sad
He goes to extremes to convince us he´sbad
He´s really a victem of fear and of pride
Look close and there must be a sweet man inside
Nah! Uh-Uh!
There goes mister outrage,
There goes mister sneer
He has no time for friends or fun
His anger makes that clear
Don't ask him for a favor cause his nastiness increases
No crust of bread for those in need
No cheeses for us mices (pronounced: meeses)
There goes mister Heartless
there goes mister Cruel
He never gives
He only takes
He lets his hunger rule
If being mean´s A way of life
He´ll practice and Rehearse
And all that work is payin' off
Cause Scrooge is getting worse
Everyday in everyway
Scrooge is getting worse!
