Lyrics[]
Ghost of Christmas Past:
I'm the ghost, I'm the ghost
Of Christmas Past
I'm the ghost who will guide you through
As we go, as we go
Back through your past
To see what makes you, you
Scrooge:
Oh my God, impossible. I went to school here
I'd know it anywhere, I know each desk and chair
I was popular, so cool here
Ghost of Christmas Past:
And who is that over there?
I see a boy sitting all alone
Scrooge:
Dad made me stay at school...
Ghost of Christmas Past:
His classmates have all gone home
Scrooge:
He was pretty cruel...
Ghost of Christmas Past:
Spending Christmas all alone
Scrooge:
Nothing to do...
Nowhere else to go
Ghost of Christmas Past:
I'm the ghost, I'm the ghost
Of Christmas Past
What was old again is new
Time to go, time to go
Forward in the past
Here's another scene for you
Scrooge's Sister:
Daddy said yes, big brother
You can come home
Young Scrooge:
Really? My God I could kiss ya
You're the best little sister
Scrooge's Sister:
We'll have Christmas with each other
You won't be alone
Scrooge:
I forgot how much I missed her
Ghost of Christmas Past:
She died far too young
Scrooge:
She was the best
Ghost of Christmas Past:
But didn't she have a son?
Scrooge:
That's correct
Ghost of Christmas Past:
And he lives in London?
Scrooge:
Yes
His name is Fred
Ghost of Christmas Past:
Let's jump ahead
I'm the ghost, I'm the ghost
Of Christmas Past
And the past is still in front of you
Even though, even though
You're not with the past
The past isn't done with you
Scrooge:
Oh my God! It's Fezziwig's! I used to work here
Fezziwig:
I'm the boss, Mr. Fezziwig
Tonight no one works here
'Cause I got a round of shots
And it's business tradition
To get twisted on Christmas
Drink up, they're delicious
Ghost of Christmas Past:
Everyone's so happy, but why?
Scrooge:
The boss did a lot for us
Ghost of Christmas Past:
This wasn't very much to buy
Scrooge:
Not just what he bought for us
He gave us much more than that
He made us have a blast
You don't understand it
Ghost of Christmas Past:
Something on your mind?
Scrooge:
Bob Cratchit...
Narrator:
Scrooge watches guests arrive
As they dance and they laugh
He feels less uptight
Scrooge:
How could I forget?
This was the night we met
Young Scrooge:
Hey, care to dance?
Belle:
I don't dance that well
Young Scrooge:
Neither do I
I'm Scrooge
Belle:
I'm Belle
Ghost of Christmas Past:
And I'm the ghost, I'm the ghost
Of Christmas Past
I have only one more stop for you
You may know, you may know
If you think back
You may know where we're going to
If you can't handle it, that's on you
