"Bah Humbug" lyrics
I met a man named Ebenezer
South of Camden High
With calloused hands, stood at a slant
And no one dared walk by
His heart was hard and sharp as flint
His door was lined with locks
As lonesome as an oyster
And he was greedy as a fox
He was a penny-pinching
Fist-clenching
Sick and stingy grouch
Don't ask him about Christmas
He'll growl no way, no how
His crooked frown
Appalled the town
So I too stayed away
But one night I got turned around
And heard a man behind me say
Bah humbug, bah humbug, bah humbug
That was all he said
Bah humbug, bah humbug, bah humbug
Well a ghostly figure touched his sleeve
And time flipped upside down
He saw a boy, so innocent
Unlike the man he is now
Then a second ghost showed him a home
A family full of love
All he heard was friendly laughter
Not a one of 'em was singing
Bah humbug, bah humbug, bah humbug
That was all he said
Then a third ghost with a black cloak
He showed him what can happen when we reap what we sow
All he heard was crickets chirpin'
As he laid to rest
While the town was busy smirkin'
Saying it's for the best
They were singing
Bah humbug, bah humbug, bah humbug
And that was all they said
Humbug, bah humbug
Bah humbug, bah humbug
Bah humbug
Yeah! (Bah humbug)
He said, "Oh, no! Look what I've done!
Is it too late
To change my ways?"
Then he snapped back to present day
Bah hum, bah hum, bah hum, bah humbug
That Ebenezer Scrooge
Bah humbug!
Bah humbug!
Bah humbug!
Well, it's Christmas morning! (Christmas morning!)
It's a brand-new day! (Brand new day!)
He's thinkin' I'm done (I'm done!)
I'm done
Singing that a bah humbug!
From here on out
I'm spreading love!
I'm singin' I'm done (I'm done!)
I'm done! (I'm done!)
Singin' that a bah hum bug!
Merry Christmas! (Merry Christmas!)
Merry Christmas, everyone!
No more mumblin' grumblin' grumblin'
No more bah humbug
Merry Christmas! (Merry Christmas!)
Merry Christmas!
No more mumblin'
No more grumblin'
No more grumpy fissy fussin'
No more! (No more!)
Bah! Hum! Bug!
Bah humbug!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
