[Verse 1] You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch You really are a heel You're as cuddly as a cactus You are charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Oh, you're a foul one and a wild one You've got termites in your smile You have all the tender sweetness Of a seasick crocodile And given the choice between both of you (I doubt that I'll ever be close to you)
I would take the seasick crocodile Mr. Grinch, Mr. Grinch, Grinch, Grinch [Verse 3] 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, and I quote Stink, stank, stunk Stunk [Chorus] Oh, you're a foul one and a wild one You've got termites in your smile You have all the tender sweetness Of a seasick crocodile And given the choice between both of you (I doubt that I'll ever be close to you) I would take the seasick crocodile Mr. Grinch
