Marley and Marley is a song in The Muppet Christmas Carol, sung by Waldorf and Statler as Jacob and Robert Marley.

-spoken-

Statler: It is required of every man that the sprit within him should walk abrod his fellow men. Waldorf: And if that spirit goes not forth in life, he is condemed to do so after death Statler: To witness what he can not share, but might have shared and turned to happiness

-singing-

Both: We're Marley and Marley Averious and greed Statler: We took advantage of the poor Just ignored the needy Both: We specialized in causing pain Spreading fear and doubt Waldorf: And if you could not pay the rent, we simply threw you out

-spoken-

Waldorf: There was the year we evicted the entire orphanage! Statler: I remember the little tykes all standing in the snow bank. Waldorf: With their little frost-bitten teddy bears! Both: (laugh) Ooooh.

-singing-

Both: We're Marley and Marley Our hearts were painted black Statler: We should have known our evil deeds would put us both in shackles Both: Captive, bound, we're double-ironed Exhausted by the wait Statler: As freedom comes from giving love Waldorf: So, prison comes with hate

Both: We're Marley and Marley Ghosts: Whoooooo Both: We're Marley and Marley Ghosts: Whoooooo

-spoken-

Waldorf: True, there was something about mankind we loved Statler: I think it was there money! Both: (laugh)

-singing-

Both: Doomed, Scrooge! You're doomed for all time Waldorf: Your future is a horror story, written by your crime Both: Your chains are forged, by what you say and do Ghosts: So, have your fun when life is done a nightmare waits for you

Waldorf: Funny? Statler: Money?

Both: We're Marley and Marley Ghosts: Whoooooo Both: We're Marley and Marley Ghosts: Whoooooo Both: We're Marley and Marley And now its time to part Waldorf: To go back where they keep our kind Statler: The wrecthed and the heartless Waldorf: The news we shared has got you scared Statler: We're glad that we got through Waldorf: So make amends Statler: And make some friends Both: The future's up to you! We're Marley and Marley Ghosts: Whoooooo Both: We're Marley and Marley Ghosts: Whoooooo Both: We're Marley and Marley Ghosts: Whoooooo
