You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch - Burl Ives
All the windows were dark No one knew he was here All the who's Were all dreaming Sweet dreams without care 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 thirty-nine And-a-half foot pole All I need is a reindeer So he took his dog, Max And he took some red thread And he tied a big horn On the top of his head Then the Grinch said "Giddap" And the sleigh started down To the homes Where the who's lay A-snooze in their town "This is stop number one "The old Grinchy Claus hissed And he climbed to the roof Empty bags in his fist Then he slid down the chimney A rather tight pinch But, if Santa could do it Then so could the Grinch Then he slithered and slunk With a smile most unpleasant Around the whole room And he took every present Pop guns, and bicycles Roller skates, drums Checkerboards, tricycles Popcorn, and plums And he stuffed them In bags Then the Grinch Very nimbly Stuffed all the bags One by one Up the chimney 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 nauseate me, Mr. Grinch With a nauseaus super-naus You're a crooked jerky jockey And you drive a crooked horse Mr. Grinch You're A three decker saurkraut And toadstool sandwich With arsenic sauce
