Lyrics

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch

You really are a heel

You're as cuddly as a cactus

You're as charming as an eel

Mr. Grinch

You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch

Your heart's an empty hole

Your brain is full of spiders

You've got garlic in your soul

Mr. Grinch

I wouldn't touch you with a 39-and-a-half foot pole

You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch

You have termites in your smile

You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile

Mr. Grinch

Given the choice between the two of you

I'd take the seasick crocodile

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch

You're a nasty, wasty skunk

Your heart is full of unwashed socks

Your soul is full of gunk

Mr. Grinch

The three words that best describe you

Are as follows, and I quote

"Stink, stank, stunk"

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch

You're the king of sinful sots

Your heart's a dead tomato

Splotched with moldy, purple spots

Mr. Grinch

Your soul is an appalling dump-heap

Overflowing with the most disgraceful

Assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable

Mangled-up in tangled-up knots

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch

With a nauseous super naus

You're a crooked jerky jockey

And you drive a crooked hoss

Mr. Grinch

You're a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich

With arsenic sauce
