*************************************************************************LYRICS********************************************************************
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.
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.
You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch
You have termites in your smile;
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a sea-sick crocodile,
Mr Grinch:
Given the choice between the two of you,
I'd take the sea-sick 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 appalling 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!!!!!!!!!!!!

******** THURL RAVENSCROFT: "Born in 1914, raised in Norfolk, Nebraska, Thurl Ravenscroft served as a navigator in the US Army Air Transport Command in World War II before settling in Hollywood. An accomplished singer, he performed with The Sportsmen Quartet, The Mellowmen Quartet, The Johnny Mann Singers, and many major stars, including Jim Nabors and Elvis Presley. He was best known, however, for his mellifluous voice-overs, and he voiced Tony the Tiger in countless advertisements for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes in both English and Spanish. In 1996 he and his wife June retired to southern California, although he still did occasional work as Tony. He died in 2005 . . ." --IMDb
