The Muppets - Marley and Marley Lyrics

-spoken-

Statler: It is required of every man that the sprit within him
should walk abrod his fellow men.
Waldorf: And if that spirit goes not forth in life, he is condemed

Statler: To witness what he can not share, but might have shared and
turned to happiness

-singing-

Both: We're Marley and Marley
Averious and greed
Statler: We took advantage of the poor
Just ignored the needy
Both: We specialized in causing pain
Spreading fear and doubt
Waldorf: And if you could not pay the rent, we simply threw you out

Waldorf: There was the year we evicted the entire orphanage!
Statler: I remember the little tykes all standing in the snow bank.
Waldorf: With their little frost-bitten teddy bears!
Both: (laugh) Ooooh.

-singing-

Both: We're Marley and Marley
Our hearts were painted black
Statler: We should have known our evil deeds would put us both in shackles
Both: Captive, bound, we're double-ironed
Exhausted by the wait
Statler: As freedom comes from giving love
Waldorf: So, prison comes with hate

Both: We're Marley and Marley
Ghosts: Whoooooo
Both: We're Marley and Marley
Ghosts: Whoooooo

-spoken-

Waldorf: True, there was something about mankind we loved
Statler: I think it was there money!
Both: (laugh)

-singing-

Both: Doomed, Scrooge! You're doomed for all time
Waldorf: Your future is a horror story, written by your crime
Both: Your chains are forged, by what you say and do
Ghosts: So, have your fun when life is don
