dots as well goodness takes the cake for goodness sake I provide them with an income and this is how bitching me you're too good for Scrooge Bob but I'll drink his health for your sake a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year though with all his money he's merry enough Oh [ __ ] very good now clear away let me tell you go warm up [Music] look familiar Jacque dust and wood smoke he told me coming home that he hoped the people saw him in the church because he was sick and it might be nice for them to be thankful for their health and good fortune I am [Music] Robinson Crusoe Oh see here this is just before the pirates attacked oh dear forget I said that and don't want to ruin it feel oh so exciting yes we don't read a remarkable boy but so frail spirit tell me if Tiny Tim will live I see an empty seat to the chimney corner and a crutch without an owner if these shadows remain unaltered by the future the child will die no oh no spirit say he'll be spared well if he's going to die he should do it and decrease the surplus population right hey I didn't mean next time find out who the surplus is remember Scrooge no one is worthless or unfit to live a merry Christmas to his home ideas [Music] yes god bless us everyone yeah yeah I'm so thankful to be in the bosom of my wonderful family Christmas time I wish I what place is this house of your friend and then the old fellow said what's Christmas what a time for finding yourself a year older and not an hour richer Uncle Scrooge really say that yes and that Christmas was a humbug he's the humbug Fred he's a comical old fellow but I have nothing bad to say about him what not even his skin Gillis no his wealth does him no good so I am sorry for him really and so I'll invite him to celebrate Christmas every year for my sweet mother's sake I know it's hard to believe but she loved him dearly I never realized how yes how much he looks like and with such a big heart now in honor of my mother I want to teach you all a song that she and her brother ever knees are used to perform when their father wasn't around and you all join in Santa City suit was last Christmas Eve I had a cause to hide beneath the stairs I stayed awake for Santa Claus and caught him unawares he was the fireplace from the chimney smoky shoes never quite saw such a sight a Santa suit a suit the jackets you could tell was once a beaut over torn

this unhappy man might happen to me right this is too harsh too bad let me see some tenderness connected with the death and disease [Music] [Music] laughs oh great it hurts my eyes I mustn't show weak eyes to father when he comes here it must be near his time with Tiny Tim upon his shoulder very fast indeed but he was very light to carry and no trouble yes dear I wish you all could have gone it
