You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch
A.Hague Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
cnd as charming as an eel,
Mr. Grinch!
You're a bad banana,
With a greasy black peel!
You're a monster, Mr. Grinch!
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 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 three words that best describe you
cre 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!
The lyrics of A. Hague's song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" portray a character named Mr. Grinch as vile, stinky, and mean. The song seems to be addressed to him by an unnamed narrator, who begins by stating "You're a mean one" and elaborates with a series of insults. The first stanza calls Mr. Grinch a heel who is neither cuddly nor charming. The second stanza also delves into Mr. Grinch's personality and calls him a monster with an empty heart and spiders in his brain. The third stanza is arguably the most creative, using similes to compare Mr. Grinch's smile to that of a termite-infested wood and his sweetness to that of a seasick crocodile. The fourth stanza is a bit gross, with the singer calling Mr. Grinch a skunk with a heart full of unwashed socks. Finally, the last stanza uses hyperbole to describe Mr. Grinch in extreme, disgusting terms, calling his soul a dump heap full of the most disgraceful rubbish imaginable.
