Mr. Scrooge Advent Calendar


Bah, humbug! was the catchphrase on my door
Now the windows are open on a new Christmas day.
Spreading cheer like a laughing parson, not a kill-joy
like that horrid person unfortunately I used to be before.

Take you to the Barras where I got the complete works
of Charles Dickens as a lad illustrated by Cruikshank.
Christmas hamper, food and wine from Harrods
Merry Christmas, love, and I don't ask for thanks.

The ghost of Christmas Past was riding me
The night brought terrors to my soul
Now, I find it's better to give than to receive,
Lady, you've got the keys to my old heart, for sure.

I won't wipe the smile from your face
I'm a laughing parson too with God's grace.
God bless us one and all, especially you
Merry Christmas, dearest lady!
