Lyrics

[Intro]

With this coat and this hat, I'll look just like Saint Nick

Ho, ho, ho

[Verse 1]

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch

You really are a heel

You're as cuddly as a cactus and as charming as an eel

Mr. Grinch

You're a bad banana with a greasy, black peel

[Verse 2]

Just face the music, you're a monster

Mr. Grinch, yes, you are

Your heart's an empty hole

Your brain is full of spiders, you got garlic in your soul

Mr. Grinch

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

[Bridge]

You know, if you ask the who's who of Whoville

No one's denyin'

[Verse 3]

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 you

I'd take the seasick crocodile
