You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch
Setzer Brian Orchestra Lyrics

You're a mean one, Mr Grinch
You are a cold-hearted person, Mr. Grinch

You really are a heel
You are truly unpleasant

You're as cuddly as a cactus
You are as friendly as a prickly cactus

You're as charming as an eel
You have the appeal of a slippery, slimy eel

Mr. Grinch!
Addressing Mr. Grinch, the subject of the song

You're a bad banana
You are a person with rotten characteristics, like a bad banana

With a greasy black peel!
Your exterior appearance is as unpleasant as a greasy, black banana peel

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch!
You are a frightening and deplorable creature, Mr. Grinch

Your heart's an empty hole
You have no compassion or empathy for others

Your brain is full of spiders
Your thoughts and ideas are unpleasant and creepy, like spiders

You've got garlic in your soul
Your character and essence is unpleasant to others, like garlic to vampires

I wouldn't touch you
You are so unpleasant that I would avoid touching you

With a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!
I would go to great lengths to avoid coming in contact with you

You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch!
You are a repulsive and wicked individual, Mr. Grinch

You have termites in your smile
Your smile is just as fake and unpleasant as having termites in one's teeth

You have all the tender sweetness
You lack any genuine tenderness or sweetness towards others

Of a seasick crocodile
Your demeanor is sickening and unpleasant, like a seasick crocodile

Given the choice between the two of you
If I had to choose between you and another unpleasant choice

I'd take the seasick crocodile!
I would rather choose the less unpleasant option

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch!
You are a morally repugnant and digitally challenged individual, Mr. Grinch

You're a nasty, wasty skunk!
You are as unpleasant as a stinky, repulsive skunk

Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your heart is teeming with unpleasant and unsavory ideas, like the smell of unwashed socks

Your soul is full of gunk
Your essence is unclean and contaminated, like a pile of gunk

The three words that best describe you
A succinct way to explain the essence of your unpleasantness

Are as follows, and I quote
Introducing a direct quote to summarize your unpleasantness

"Stink, stank, stunk!"
The three words which fully describe your moral decay and unpleasantness

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch!
You are a dissolute and repugnant individual, Mr. Grinch

You're the king of sinful sots!
You are the supreme ruler of sin and debauchery

Your heart's a dead tomato
Your heart is withered and devoid of vitality, like a rotten tomato

Splotched with moldy, purple spots
Your heart is diseased and riddled with toxic spots

Your soul is an apalling dump-heap
Your essence is like a disgusting and loathsome heap of garbage

Overflowing with the most disgraceful
Filled to the brim with the most shameful

Assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable
A wide variety of unsavory and spiteful debris

Mangled-up in tangled-up knots!
So twisted and gnarled up that it's impossible to straighten out

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch!
You are so revolting and dismaying that you make me sick, Mr. Grinch

With a nauseous super naus!
The extent of your disgusting and unpleasant nature is overwhelming

You're a crooked jerky jockey
You are dishonest and unreliable, like a crooked jockey

And you drive a crooked hoss
Your actions are just as crooked and corrupt as the horse you ride

You're a three-decker sauerkraut
You are a conglomeration of unpleasant and disagreeable elements, like a sandwich with too many layers

And toadstool sandwich
Your essence is just as repulsive as a sandwich with poisonous mushrooms

With arsenic sauce!
So poisonous and toxic that it's a danger to anyone who comes near
