Well, today a friend told me this sorry tale 
As he stood there trembling and turning pale 
He said each day's harder to get on the scale 
Sort of like Jacob Marley's chain.

But it's not like life's such a veil of tears 
It's just full of thoughts that act as souvenirs 
For those tiny blunders made in yester-years 
That comprise Jacob Marley's chain.

Well, I had a little metaphor to state my case 
It encompassed the condition of the human race but to my dismay, 
It left without a trace except for the sound of Jacob Marley's chain.

Now there is no story left to tell so I think 
I'd rather just go on to hell where there's a snowball's chance 
That the personnel might help to carry Jacob Marley's chain.
