Scrooge and the Raven

Just around the corner
Is Christmas in the
Darkest Night sitting
On Scrooge’s grave
Is a Raven who is
Deep in sleep when he
Is woken up by the sound
of someone saying humbug
he looked around and only saw
A crow sitting on the mortuary
asleep as the wind blows
The leaves from the eaves
From the church

The moon is full the stars
Are bright on Christmas Eve
In the church by the Scrooge
Grave is midnight mass
As the children choir sings
Silent night as the Raven sits
On Scrooge’s grave he hears
Humbug as the crow sits
By the gargoyles of the church
As the priest says, the prayers
For the night, the Raven hears
Humbug

Christmas Day has come
A cold morning as the sun rises
As the steam rises us from the graves
The raven flies to where  
The crow is and gives him 
Half a biscuit like the Raven
Is saying merry Christmas
To the crow as they hear
Humbug one last time
scrooge and the raven.
