Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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, um
Seasick crocodile
[Verse 2]
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
You're a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich
With arsenic sauce
[Verse 3]
Then he slunk to the icebox, he took the Who's feast
He took the Who pudding, he took the roast beast
He cleaned out the icebox as quick as a flash
Why, that Grinch even took the last can of Who Hash
Then he stuffed all the food up the chimney with glee
"Now," grinned the Grinch, "I will stuff up the tree"
[Verse 4]
As the Grinch took the tree, as he started to shove, he
He heard a small sound like the coo of a dove
He turned around fast and he saw a small Who
Little Cindy Lou Who, who was no more than two
She stared at the Grinch and said, "Santy Claus, why?
Why are you taking our Christmas tree? Why"
But you know, that old Grinch was so smart and so slick
He thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick
"Why, my sweet little tot," the fake Santy Claus lied
"There's a light on this tree that won't light on one side
So I'm taking it home to my workshop, my dear
I'll fix it up there, then I'll bring it back here"
And his fib fooled the child
Then he patted her head, and he got her a drink and he sent her to bed
[Verse 5]
And when Cindy Lou Who was in bed with her cup
He crept to the chimney and stuffed the tree up
Then he went up the chimney himself, the old liar
And the last thing he took was the log for their fire
On their walls he left nothing but hooks and some wire
And the one speck of food that he left in the house
Was a crumb that was even too small for a mouse
Then he did the same thing to the other Who's houses
Leaving crumbs much too small for the other Who's mouses
[Verse 6]
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a nauseous super naus
You're a crooked, jerky jockey and you drive a crooked horse, Mr. Grinch
Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable
Mangled up in tangled up knots
[Verse 7]
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"
