Scrooge lays out his world view

LEAVE ME ALONE

What must I do to be left here in peace
Why won’t they leave me alone
How much good cheer can one man endure
Leave me alone

I want no part of their miserable lives
I just want to be left alone

Leave me alone
To tend to my self
To care for what matters to me
To mind my own business
And forget all the rest
Leave me alone

Incessant chatter fouling the air
Why won’t they leave me alone
Constant distractions leading nowhere
Leave me alone

Leave me alone you children who run, you wretched old hags and insolent young
You gentry and paupers you strumpets and whores
You clutter the streets as you pass by my door
You steal my goods, you squander my time
Just see to yours, and I’ll see to mine

It’s always worse at this time of the year
Why won’t they leave me alone
Moving in closer they’re crowding so near
I just want to be left alone

Grant me some peace you blackguards and knaves
I beseech you ‘til I’m dead in my grave
Leave me alone
