Here it is this incredible Christmas song:

Grinch:

If you’re not going to help me, then you might as well…

Narrator:

Then he got an idea, an awful idea, the Grinch got a wonderful, awful idea


Grinch:

I know just what to do

Narrator:
The Grinch laughed in his throat

And he made a quick Santa Claus hat and a coat

And he chuckled and clacked at this great Grinchy trick

Grinch:

With this coat and this hat

I’ll look just like Saint Nick

Verses:

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch,
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!

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch, yes you are
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 even with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

Grinch:

I asked for three quarters not five eight, stay focus!

Narrator:

You know if you ask the who's who of who-ville

No one deny it!

Grinch:

Airbags a little slow…but that’s what is tested so far!

Last verse:
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 you 
I take the seasick crocodile!

And now some quotes of Dr. Seuss, the original writer of the tale-book, of How the Grinch stole Christmas:

·      A person's a person, no matter how small.

·      And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.

·      And when they played they really played. And when they worked they really worked.

·      And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed.

·      Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

·      Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

·      From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.

·      I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

·      I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.

·      I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful, one hundred percent.

·      If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good.

·      So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads.

·      Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.

·      The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

·      The storm starts when the drops start dropping. When the drops stop dropping, the storm starts stopping.

·      Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!

·      Today is gone. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one. 

·      Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way.

·      Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.

·      You are you. Now, isn't that pleasant?

·      You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go. 

·      You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

·      Young cat, if you keep your eyes open enough, oh, the stuff you would learn! The most wonderful stuff!

Would you be able to write any other of your own creation?
