This Is a Really Great Song

Have you ever actually listened to all of the words in “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”?

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!



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 thirty-nine-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!
