Dr. Seuss You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch

“You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” is a song developed for the animated special of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” airing in 1966. Performed by Thurl Ravenscroft, the song is used as a musical interlude to add emphasis to the Grinch’s nastiness and sick nature.

Despite his performance, Thurl was not credited for the song on the special, leading many to believe that the narrator and voice of the Grinch for the special, Boris Karloff, performed the song as well. Rumors also floated around that Tennessee Ernie Ford was responsible for the song.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch
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!

[Verse 2]
You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch
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!

[Verse 3]
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 a choice between the two of you I’d take the seasick crocodile!

[Verse 4]
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!”

[Verse 5]
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 appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable, mangled up in tangled up knots!

[Verse 6]
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a nauseous super “naus”!
You’re a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch
You’re a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!
