You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch
The Robertsons Lyrics

You're a mean one Mr. Grinch
You are extremely unkind, Mr. Grinch

You really are a heel.
You truly are unpleasant and spiteful

You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You are not at all affectionate or warm

You're charming as an eel,
You are deceptive and manipulative

Mr. Grinch!
Addressing the intended recipient of the song

Hey! You're a bad banana,
You are a terrible and rotten person

With a greasy black peel!
Your exterior appearance matches your unpleasant personality

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch!
You have monstrous tendencies and behavior

Your heart's an empty hole.
You lack empathy and have no capacity for love

Your brain is full of spiders.
Your thoughts and ideas are twisted and unpleasant

You've got garlic in your soul,
Your spirit is tainted and corrupted

Mr. Grinch!
Addressing the intended recipient of the song

I wouldn't touch you Jack with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!
I refuse to have any association or contact with you

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

You have termites in your smile.
Your positive expressions and actions are insincere

You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile,
You lack any desirable qualities and are unpleasant to be around

Mr. Grinch!
Addressing the intended recipient of the song

Given the choice between the two of you, hey
Compared to another unpleasant entity

I'll take the seasick crocodile!
Choosing the lesser of two evils

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch!
You are repugnant and unpleasant

You're a nasty, wasty skunk!
You are abhorrent and unclean

Your heart is full of unwashed socks.
You lack any positive emotions or feelings

Your soul is full of gunk,
Your inner self is corrupt and tainted

Mr. Grinch!
Addressing the intended recipient of the song

The three words that best describe you
Summarizing the essence of the intended recipient's character

Are as follows, and I quote,
Indicating a direct quotation of the words that follow

"Stink, stank, stunk!"
Emphasizing the unpleasantness of the intended recipient

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch!
You are a corrupt and immoral individual

You're the king of sinful sots!
You are the epitome of wickedness and depravity

Your heart's a dead tomato,
You lack any positive emotions or feelings

Splotched with moldy, purple spots,
Your character is riddled with imperfections and blemishes

Mr. Grinch!
Addressing the intended recipient of the song

Your soul is an appalling dump-heap,
Your inner self is a disgusting and overwhelming mess

Overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable,
Your inner being is filled with the worst parts of humanity

Mangled-up in tangled-up knots!
Your character is twisted and convoluted

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch!
You make me feel physically ill and disgusted

With a nauseous super naus!
Strongly emphasizing the feeling of disgust towards the intended recipient

You're a crooked jerky jockey,
You are dishonest and untrustworthy

And you drive a crooked hoss,
Your actions are twisted and deceitful

Mr. Grinch!
Addressing the intended recipient of the song

You're a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich,
Your character is revolting and unappetizing

With arsenic sauce!
Highlighting the danger and toxicity of the intended recipient's character
