One of the Christmas classics of American TV is The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. This animated movie is based on the book of the same name by the popular children’s author Dr. Seuss, another American classic. The main character is a creature, inspired by the Scrooge of Charle’s Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, who despises Christmas.
One of the highlights of this film is the song You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch. The lyrics are below.
You’re a mean[1] one Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel[2].
You're as cuddly[3] as a cactus,
And as charming[4] as an eel[5], Mr. Grinch!
You're a bad banana,
With a greasy black peel[6]!
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[7] one, Mr. Grinch!
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick[8] 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[9]!
Your heart is full of unwashed socks.
Your soul is full of gunk[10], Mr. Grinch!
The three words that best describe you
Are as follows, and I quote, "Stink[11], stank, stunk!"
You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch!
You're the king of sinful sots[12]!
Your heart's a dead tomato,
Splotched with moldy, purple spots, Mr. Grinch!
Your soul is an appalling dump-heap[13],
Overflowing with the most disgraceful
assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable,
Mangled-up in tangled-up knots![14]
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch!
With a nauseous super naus!
You're a crooked[15] jerky jockey,
And you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch!
You're a three-decker sauerkraut
and toadstool[16] sandwich, with arsenic sauce!
