You’re a mean one,

You’re as cud dly as a cac tus, you’re as charm ing as an eel, Mis ter Grinch!

You’re a bad ba nan a with a

You’re a mon ster,

Mis ter Grinch!

Your heart’s an emp ty hole.

Your brain is full of spi ders, you’ve got gar lic in your soul, Mis ter Grinch!

I would n’t touch you with a thir ty nine and a half foot pole!
