Abundance And Charity lyrics

Abundance And Charity


(The jolly Ghost of Christmas Present appears in Scrooge?s room.)

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT
You call this Christmas dinner?
This measly pot of gruel?!
You aren?t just a sinner,
You?re an outright fool!
Why, the present?s full of pleasures!
Things to see, enjoy, and taste!
And at Christmas no one measures
His wallet or his waist!
So I?ve done you just a teeny tiny favor!
Oh, don?t thank me.
It?s perfectly free.
Just a new experience to savor ?
Some laughter, some magic ? on me!

(Scrooge finds himself in the Gaiety Music Hall, sitting in the audience, surrounded by children.
The Ghost makes a sweeping entrance through the velvet curtain onstage.)

Abundance! Charity!
Good will toward men!
Enjoyment! Hilarity!
Good will toward men!
Come share some,
Spare some,
No matter when, Ben!
Get with the spirit
?Cause you?re gonna hear it again!

Abundance! Charity!
And sheer delight!
Enjoyment! Hilarity!
They?re yours tonight!
I?m here, sir, dear sir,
To set you quite right!
Never a doubt
That your heart is about
To take flight!

There?s a joyful spirit
In your heart!
My friend, that spirit?s mine!
Dine on the
Bread of human kindness,
My fabulous fruit of the fine!
A treat, sir!
A sweet, sir!
A little indulgence and then,
Abundance! Charity!
Good will toward men!

Abundance! Charity!

PANTO GIRLS
So much in store!

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Old friends and familiarity!

PANTO GIRLS
Good times galore!

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT
A twirl, sir, some girls, sir!
To make ?em roar for!

GIRLS
Aahh? aahh?

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT, GIRLS
Get with the spirit
?Cause you?re gonna hear it
Some
More!

GIRLS
?aahh???

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Fill your plate,
Come on and celebrate
A very, merry time.
All the joys you never dared
To make the most of?

GIRLS
He?s the Ghost of!

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Listen, brother, Mother Goose
Is playing at the Pantomime!
Any little pleasure,
Brother, you can pick it!
Life?s a ball,
And I?m your ticket!

(Scrooge is forced to dance with the pretty Panto Girls.)

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT, GIRLS
Abundance! Charity!
Good will towards men ?
From pauper to ?millionarity?!
Good will toward men!
Come spend some,
Lend some,
You?ll get the yen, Ben!

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Get with the spirit
?Cause you?re gonna hear it again!

GIRLS
Aahh? Aahh?
SOME GIRLS
Aahh? Aahh?
OTHER GIRLS
Aahh?

ALL GIRLS
Get with the spirit?

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT, GIRLS
Get with the spirit
?Cause you?re gonna hear it?

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Again?

SOME GIRLS
?And a-gain

OTHER GIRLS
?And again!

GIRLS

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT
??Abundance!?

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT, GIRLS
Good will toward men!
