"You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" (1966)


"You're a 3 Decker sour kraut and toad stool sandwich / With arsenic sauce!"


The lyrics really are quite fantastic. (Thanks, Heather Sparks!)

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
39 and a half foot pole

You're a vile one Mr. Grinch
You have termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick 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
Your heart is full of unwashed socks,
Your soul is full of gunk
Mr. Grinch

The 3 words that best describe you, are as follows, and I quote
Stink, Stank, Stunk

You're a rotter Mr. Grinch
You're the king of sinful sots
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots
Mr. Grinch

Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of deplorable rubbish, imaginable
Mangled up in tangled up knots

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a noxious super nos
You're a crooked jerky jockey and,
You drive a crooked hoss
Mr. Grinch

You're a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich
With arsenic sauce!
