You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch

Lyrics

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" The Grinch looked around
 But, since reindeer are scarce, there was none to be found
 Did that stop the old Grinch? No! The Grinch simply said
 "If I can't find a reindeer, I'll make one instead!"
 So he called his dog, Max, then he took some red thread
 And he tied a big horn on the top of his head
 ♪
 Then he loaded some bags and some old empty sacks
 On a ramshackle sleigh and he whistled for Max
 ♪
 Then the Grinch said, "Giddap!"
 And the sleigh started down
 Toward the homes where the Whos Lay asnooze in their town
 ♪
 All their windows were dark, no one knew he was there
 All the Whos were all dreaming sweet dreams without care
 When he came to the first little house on the square
 "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
 He got stuck only once, for a minute or two
 Then he stuck his head out of the fireplace flue
 Where the little Who stockings hung all in a row
 "These stockings," he grinned, "are the first things to go!"
 Then he slithered and slunk, with a smile most unpleasant
 Around the whole room, and he took every present!
 Pop guns! Pampoolers, pantoockers and drums!
 Checkerboards! Bizzlebings, popcorn and plums!
 And he stuffed them in bags, then the Grinch, very nimbly
 Stuffed all the bags, one by one, up the chimney!
