[Lyrics]

(Intro)
(Verse 1)
START:4.550s
END:2m50s = 230s
You're a mean one,
Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel
(music)
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
(jazz music)
(Verse 2)
You're a monster,
Mr. Grinch
Your heart's an empty hole
(music)
Your brain is full of spiders
You've got garlic in your soul,
Mr. Grinch
I wouldn't touch you
With a
thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole
(jazz)
(Verse 3)
You're a vile one,
Mr. Grinch
You have termites
in your
smile
(music)
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
(jazz)
(Verse 4)
You're a foul one,
Mr. Grinch
You're a nasty,
wasty
skunk
(music)
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.
(jazz music)
(Verse 5)
You're a rotter,
Mr. Grinch
You're the king of sinful sots
(music)
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
(jazz)
(Verse 6)
You nauseate me,
Mr. Grinch
With a nauseous super-naus
(music)
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
(outtro)
