Wednesday Confessions: Christmas Songs

I thought this week I would do a Christmas Confession since it’s almost Christmas and this week it’s about a certain Christmas song!

My Confession:
I absolutely do not like the Grinch song.

You know, the one called “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”. It drives me crazy! Have you ever really listened to or read the words? They are kinda gross. I don’t even know how this passes for children!

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!
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 seasick crocodile,
Mr. Grinch!
Given the choice between the two of you,
I’d take the seasick 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 apalling 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!

Ok so here is a few lines from the song that I don’t like…
“Your brain is full of spiders….” (Pretty horrible to imagine!)
“You have termites in your smile….” (Gross!!)
“Your heart is full of unwashed socks…” (This isn’t really gross, just odd to think about!)
“You’re a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich, With arsenic sauce!”(Arsenic? That’s some pretty heavy stuff!)

I never liked the movie either. The cartoon one was not so bad, but the one with Jim Carrey (who I don’t like either by the way) is pretty scary! I mean look at this face!!
