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 I'm 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've heard a 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!
For you'll be dragging something more than
Twice this weight!
No, please
Ebenezer Scrooge
Y-yes?
You shall be visited by three ghosts!
Umm, no thank you
When the clock strikes one -
The Ghost of Christmas Past
I prefer not to think about the past
When the clock strikes two -
The Ghost of Christmas Present
At present, I'd rather go to bed
Good night
When the clock strikes three -
The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Be!
Three ghosts who yet may stop you ending up like me!

Singing sorry spirits who were once like you!
Dragging chains are all that we acquired
All the good in life it's now too late to do
Not to mention this can really make you tired!

Your chain is in the making!
Link by link
No way to make it shrink!
Link by link
Just listen to it shaking!
