Link By Link
Jacob Marley
It is required of every man
That his spirit travel far
Lending help to those he can
No matter who they are
But if you don't go forth in life
Spreading joy and easing pain
Your spirit will go forth in death
And you shall wear a chain
These were coins I hoarded for a rainy day
Now with every jingle Im distressed
Locks and keys that helped me keep the poor away
That's what put these locks and keys around my waist
Link by link, my chain was getting longer
Link by link, I should have heard it clink
Link by link, each year a little stronger
Link by link by horrifying link
Stacking up my silver and my bits of gold
Filling up my vault when day was done
Well vaults are made of lead and cash is very cold
And around your neck they weigh a bloody ton
Link by link, you're on the brink
It's written here in blood red ink
Unlock your heart, it's not too late
Or you'll be dragging something more than twice this weight.
Ebenezer Scrooge
No please

Ebenezer Scrooge
Yes?
Jacob Marley
You shall be visited by three ghosts.
Ebenezer Scrooge
No thank you
Jacob Marley
When the clock strikes one, the ghost of Christmas Past
Ebenezer Scrooge
I prefer not to think about the past
Jacob Marley
When the clock strikes two, the ghost of Christmas Present
Ebenezer Scrooge
At present I'd rather go to bed. Goodnight.
Jacob Marley
When the clock strikes three, the ghost of Christmas Yet To Be
Three ghosts who yet may stop you ending up like me
You remember our colleague, Mr. Haynes
Mean to the bone he was.
Ghost 1
I never had a heart
Ghost 2
I never lent a hand
All Ghosts & Jacob Marley
See these sorry sticklers who were once like you
Dragging chains of all that we acquire
All the good in life it's now too late to do
Headless Ghost
Not to mention this can really make you tired
All Ghosts
Link by link, your chain is in the making
Link by link, no way to make it shrink
Link by link, just listen to it shaking
Link by link by horrifying..
Link by link by link by link by link by link by
Link by link, your life must be corrected
Link by link, and sooner than you think
Link by link or you shall be connected
