Singles: "You Are The One"
You're The One
Dr. Martini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
"All I need is a reindeer"
The Grinch looked around
But since reindeer are scarce, there was none to be found
Did that stop the Grinch
Ha, the Grinch simply said
"If I can't find a reindeer, I'll make one instead!"
So he took his dog Max, he took some black thread
And he tied a big horn on top of his head
Then he loaded some bags and some old empty sacks
On a ramshackle sleigh
And he whistled for Max
Then the Grinch said, "Giddap!"
And the sleigh started down
Toward the homes where the Whos lay asnooze in their town
All their windows were dark
No one knew he was there
All the Whos were all dreaming sweet dreams without care
When he came to the first little house on the square
"This is stop number one," the old Grinchy Claus hissed
And he climbed to the roof, empty bags in his fist
Then he slid down the chimney, a rather tight pinch
But, if Santa could do it, then so could the Grinch
He got stuck only once, for a minute or two
Then he stuck his head out of the fireplace flue
Where the little Who stockings all hung in a row
"These stockings," he grinched, "are the first things to go!"
Then he slithered and slunk, with a smile most unpleasant
Around the whole room, and he took every present!
Pop guns! And bicycles! Roller skates! Drums!
Checkerboards! Tricycles! Popcorn! And plums!
And he stuffed them in bags, then the Grinch, very nimbly
Stuffed all the bags, one by one, up the chimney!
Dr. Martini's song "You're The One" is not related to the classic holiday song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch", but we can analyze the lyrics of the latter. The song is famous for its appearance in the Christmas classic "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" and has since become a holiday standard. The song talks directly to the Grinch, a green, furry, and mischievous creature who despises the Whos in Whoville and plots to ruin their Christmas. The first verse describes the Grinch's character as being mean, unlikable, and repulsive, using similes such as "cuddly as a cactus" and "as charming as an eel". The second verse emphasizes the Grinch's monstrous nature, alluding to his empty heart and spider-filled brain. The final verse tells the story of the Grinch's attempt to steal Christmas from the Whos.
The final verse is unique in that it is a narrative with rhyming couplets. It explains how the Grinch decides to steal Christmas after running out of patience with the Whos and their boisterous celebration. He constructs a makeshift sleigh and reindeer with his dog, Max, as the only helper, and begins to steal presents from the Whos' homes. The lyrics are full of wordplay and double entendres, making for a humorous and well-crafted song.

I wouldn't touch you
I find you so repulsive and revolting that I wouldn't even consider touching you
With a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole
I wouldn't even want to come close to you or associate with you, even at a distance
All I need is a reindeer
The Grinch wanted a means of transportation to make his mischievous plan possible
The Grinch looked around
The Grinch searched for a reindeer to aid in his evil intentions
But since reindeer are scarce, there was none to be found
The Grinch was unable to find a reindeer to use for his plan since they were not readily available
Did that stop the Grinch
Did that hinder, deter, or discourage the Grinch from carrying out his plan?
Ha, the Grinch simply said
The Grinch was unfazed by the scarcity of reindeer and had a solution for it
"If I can't find a reindeer, I'll make one instead!"

So he took his dog Max, he took some black thread

And the sleigh started down

Toward the homes where the Whos lay asnooze in their town

All their windows were dark
All the lights in the Whos' houses were off and it seemed as if they were asleep
No one knew he was there

All the Whos were all dreaming sweet dreams without care

When he came to the first little house on the square

Then he slid down the chimney, a rather tight pinch

The Grinch was able to do what Santa Claus is able to do, which is slide down a chimney to get inside a house
He got stuck only once, for a minute or two
The Grinch encountered an obstacle in the chimney, but only briefly and without any serious issues
Then he stuck his head out of the fireplace flue
The Grinch was able to free himself by pushing his head out of the fireplace's opening
Where the little Who stockings all hung in a row
The Grinch found where the Whos had hung their Christmas stockings
"These stockings," he grinched, "are the first things to go!"

Around the whole room, and he took every present!

Pop guns! And bicycles! Roller skates! Drums!
