You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch
Grinch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
And 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!
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
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 apalling 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 nauseous super naus!
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!
The famous holiday tune "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" is a song written by Dr. Seuss in 1966 for the television show How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, which aired on December 18 of that year. Boris Karloff did the singing on the show, and Thurl Ravenscroft provided the voice-over for song's lyrics. The song characterizes the titular Grinch as vile, evil, and notorious. Each verse descriptively compares the Grinch to various unpleasant objects and animals, like "cuddly as a cactus" and "charming as an eel." The lyrics then proceed to insult his person's heart and brain, and even his smile has "termites." The entire song is essentially an assault on the character's senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.
The song is so widely recognized and enjoyed that several cover versions and remixes have been made by numerous artists over the years. It is truly one of the most iconic and memorable songs in the history of animated holiday specials. Some of the possible reasons why the song is so beloved is its oddness, the bright contrast between its music and monstrous lyrics, the memorable voice-over in Ravenscroft's baritone voice, and the fact that it hails from one of the most celebrated Christmas programming specials ever.
