These are the first results from a quick Google search. I think technically these are to go with the UK stage version, but I think it matches the first version from the film. But, the song returns in the finale with some additional lyrics not included below.
Ghost of Christmas Present:
Ebenezer Scrooge
The sins of man are huge
A never ending symphony
Of villainy and infamy
Duplicity, deceit, and subtefuge
And no one's worse than Ebenezer Scrooge
Though man's a handy candidate for Hell
I must admit life sometimes has it's 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
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 privelege 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
Oom-pah-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!
