I LIKE LIFE
Leslie Bricusse

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Ebenezer Scrooge,
The sins of man are huge;
A never-ending symphony
Of villainy and infamy,
Duplicity, deceit, and subterfuge,
And no one's worse than Ebenezer Scrooge.
Though man's a handy candidate for Hell,
I must admit life sometimes has its brighter side as well.

I like life. Life likes me.
Life and I fairly fully agree.
Life is fine. Life is good,
'Specially mine, which is just as it should be.
I like pouring the wine, and why not?
Life's a pleasure; that I deny not.

I like life, here and now.
Life and I made a mutual vow:
Till I die, life and I,
We'll both try to be better somehow;
And if life were a woman, she would be my wife.

Scrooge:
Why?

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Why?
Because I like life!

Scrooge:
That's all very well for you,
But I hate life.

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Nonsense, man!
Why?

Scrooge:
Because life hates me, that's why!

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Oh, Scrooge, you're an even bigger fool than I took you for!
You've had over sixty years on this planet,
And during your long, miserable, miserly, selfish existence,
You haven't even learned how to live.
Now, listen to me:

I like life.
Well, go on.

Scrooge:
I like life.

Ghost of Christmas Present:
That's better!
Life likes me.

Scrooge:
Life likes me.

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Good, good!
I make life a perpetual spree.

Scrooge:
A perpetual spree!

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Eating food,

Scrooge:
Drinking wine,

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Thinking who'd like the privilege to dine me.

Scrooge:
I like drinking the drink I'm drinking.

Ghost of Christmas Present:
That's better, Scrooge!
And I like thinking the thoughts I'm thinking.

I like songs.
I like dance.
I hear music and I'm in a trance.

Scrooge:
Tra-la-la!

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Oompah-pah!

Ghost of Christmas Present and Scrooge:
Chances are we shall get up and prance.

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Where there's music and laughter,
Happiness is rife.

Scrooge:
Why?

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Why?
Because I like life!

Ghost of Christmas Present and Scrooge:
Where there's music and laughter,
Happiness is rife.
Why?
Because I like life!

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Come on, Scrooge, we're going visiting.
You're in for a few surprises.

Drinking life,
That's the thing
Makes a man want to suddenly sing.
Sing and dance,
And perchance,
Seeing life from a different stance:
When you learn how to live it,
Life is free of strife.
That is why I like life!

That's the secret of living.

Scrooge:
Any man can fly!

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Why?
Because I like life!
