{2952}{3001}Every Who|Down in Who-ville
{3005}{3104}Liked Christmas a lot...|But the Grinch,
{3108}{3171}Who lived just North of Who-ville,
{3175}{3234}Did NOT!
{3257}{3375}The Grinch hated Christmas!|The whole Christmas season!
{3379}{3477}Now, please don't ask why.|No one quite knows the reason.
{3481}{3578}It could be, perhaps,|that his shoes were too tight.
{3582}{3674}It could be that his head|wasn't screwed on quite right.
{3678}{3768}But I think that|the most likely reason of all
{3772}{3896}May have been that his heart|was two sizes too small.
{3920}{3955}But,|whatever the reason,
{3959}{3990}His heart or his shoes,
{3994}{4112}He stood there on Christmas Eve,|hating the Whos,
{4128}{4252}Staring down from his cave|with a sour, Grinchy frown
{4259}{4358}At the warm lighted windows|below in their town.
{4362}{4448}For he knew every Who|down in Who-ville beneath
{4452}{4545}Was busy now,|hanging a holly-who wreath.
{4549}{4676}"And they're hanging their stockings!"|he snarled with a sneer.
{4680}{4789}"Tomorrow is Christmas!|It's practically here!"
{4793}{4917}Then he growled,|with his grinch fingers nervously drumming,
{4921}{5045}"I MUST find some way|to keep Christmas from coming!"
{5055}{5096}For, tomorrow, I know...
{5100}{5148}...All the Who girls and boys
{5152}{5208}Would wake up bright and early.
{5212}{5240}They'd rush for their toys!
{5244}{5289}And then! Oh, the noise!
{5293}{5391}Oh, the noise! Noise! Noise! Noise!
{5408}{5455}That's one thing I hate!
{5459}{5552}The NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! NOISE!
{5621}{5771}And they shrieks, squeaks and squeals|racing around on their wheels.
{5783}{5879}They dance with jang-jinglers|tide up to their hells
{5883}{6027}They blow their floo-flounders,|they bang their tong-tinklers.
{6069}{6213}They blow their who-hoovers|they bang their jang-tinglers.
{6281}{6418}They beat their tram-tookers|they slide their sloo-slunckers.
{6445}{6587}They beat their flam-fluckers|they whack their who-wonkers.
{6591}{6679}They play noisy games like Zuziv Ka Zev
{6683}{6776}a Roller skates tapler "La Crosse"
{6908}{6990}And then they make|year's pretty noises the lux
{6994}{7104}on their great big electro-who-cardio-flux.
{7310}{7439}Then the Whos, young and old,|would sit down to a feast.
{7443}{7513}And they'd feast!|And they'd feast!
{7517}{7604}And they'd FEAST!|FEAST! FEAST! FEAST!
{7608}{7738}They would start on Who-pudding,|and rare Who-roast-beast
{7761}{7881}Roast-beast is a feast|I can't stand in the least!
{8407}{8440}And THEN
{8444}{8522}They'd do something|I hate most of all!
{8526}{8638}Every Who down in Who-ville,|the tall and the small,
{8642}{8772}Would stand close together,|with Christmas bells ringing.
{8786}{8920}They'd stand hand-in-hand.|And the Whos would start singing!
{9064}{9157}/Fah who foraze, dah who doraze
{9162}{9248}/Welcome, Christmas, come this way
{9252}{9345}/Fah who foraze, dah who doraze
{9350}{9443}/Welcome, Christmas, Christmas Day
{9447}{9538}/Welcome, welcome, fah who rahmus
{9542}{9634}/Welcome, welcome, dah who dahmus
{9638}{9728}/Christmas Day is in our grasp
{9732}{9826}/So long as we have hands to clasp
{9830}{9919}/Fah who foraze, dah who doraze
{9923}{9972}They'd sing!|And they'd sing!
{9976}{10073}AND they'd SING!|SING! SING! SING!
{10092}{10166}And the more the Grinch thought|of the Who-Christmas-Sing
{10170}{10296}The more the Grinch thought,|"I must stop this whole thing!
{10300}{10390}"Why for fifty-three years|I've put up with it now!
{10394}{10491}I MUST stop Christmas from coming!
{10519}{10584}...But HOW? "
{10610}{10668}Then he got an idea!
{10672}{10740}An awful idea!
{10754}{10858}THE GRINCH|GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA!
{11015}{11135}"I know just what to do!"|The Grinch laughed in his throat.
{11139}{11244}I make a quick|Santy Claus hat and a coat.
{11248}{11373}He chuckled, and clucked,|"What a great Grinchy trick!
{11377}{11514}"With this coat and this hat,|I'll look just like Saint Nick!"
{11650}{11740}/You're mean one, Mr. Grinch.
{11764}{11845}/You really are a heel.
{11868}{11921}/You're as cuddly as a cactus.
{11925}{12033}/You're as charming as a eel.|/Mr. Grinch.
{12046}{12085}/You're bad banana
{12089}{12173}/With a greasy black peel
{12363}{12454}/You're a monster, Mr. Grinch.
{12479}{12567}/Your heart's an empty hole.
{12577}{12637}/Your brain is full of spiders,
{12641}{12754}/You've got garlic in your soul.|/Mr. Grinch.
{12777}{12838}/I wouldn't touch you, with a
{12842}{12939}/thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.
{12946}{12999}"All I need is a reindeer..."
{13003}{13034}The Grinch looked around.
{13038}{13114}But since reindeer are scarce,|there was none to be found.
{13118}{13162}Did that stop the Grinch?
{13166}{13204}The Grinch simply said,
{13208}{13331}"If I can't find a reindeer,|I'll make one instead!"
{13368}{13451}So he took his dog Max.|Then he took some black thread
{13455}{13563}And he tied a big horn|on top of his head.
{14014}{14048}Then he loaded some bags
{14052}{14149}And some old empty sacks|On a ramshakle sleigh.
{14153}{14234}And he whistle for Max.
{14820}{14914}Then the Grinch said, "Giddyap!"
{14922}{14963}And the sleigh started down
{14967}{15002}Toward the homes where the Whos
{15006}{15093}Lay a-snooze in their town.
{17127}{17210}All their windows were dark.|No one knew he was there
{17214}{17343}All the Whos were all dreaming|sweet dreams without care
{17352}{17476}When he came to the first little house|on the square.
{17529}{17619}"This is stop number one,"|The old Grinchy Claus hissed
{17623}{17744}And he climbed to the roof,|empty bags in his fist.
{17843}{17903}Then he slid down the chimney.|A rather tight pinch.
{17907}{17988}But if Santa could do it,|then so could the Grinch.
{17992}{18072}He got stuck only once,|for a minute or two.
{18076}{18148}Then he stuck his head out|of the fireplace flue
{18152}{18265}Where the little Who stockings|all hung in a row.
{18269}{18403}"These stockings," he grinned,|"are the first things to go!"
{18461}{18585}Then he slithered and slunk,|with a smile most unpleasant,
{18589}{18687}Around the whole room,|and he took every present!
{18691}{18776}Pop guns! Pompooner|pantookers and drums!
{18780}{18843}Checkerboards! Tricycles!|Popcorn! And plums!
{18847}{18920}And he stuffed them in bags.|Then the Grinch, very nimbly,
{18924}{19042}Stuffed all the bags,|one by one, up the chimney!
{19171}{19264}/You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
{19274}{19369}/You have termites in your smile.
{19387}{19441}/You have all the tender sweetness
{19445}{19546}/Of a seasick crocodile.|/Mr. Grinch.
{19590}{19646}/Given the choice between the two of you
{19650}{19744}/I'd take the seasick crocodile.
{20127}{20217}/You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
{20237}{20331}/You're the king of sinful sots.
{20341}{20400}/Your heart's a dead tomato splotched
{20404}{20507}/with moldy purple spots,|/Mr. Grinch.
{20537}{20610}/You're three decker sauerkraut and|/toadstool sandwich
{20614}{20691}/With arsenic sauce!
{21468}{21571}Then he slunk to the icebox.|He took the Whos' feast!
{21575}{21660}He took the Who-pudding!|He took the roast beast!
{21664}{21737}He cleaned out that icebox|as quick as a flash.
{21741}{21850}Why, that Grinch even took|their last can of Who-hash!
{21854}{21926}Then he stuffed all the food up|the chimney with glee.
{21930}{22061}"And NOW!" grinned the Grinch,|"I will stuff up the tree!"
{22265}{22353}As the Grinch took the tree,|he started to shove it.
{22357}{22440}He heard a small sound|like the coo of a dove.
{22444}{22535}He turned around fast,|and he saw a small Who!
{22539}{22637}Little Cindy-Lou Who,|who was not more than two.
{22641}{22765}She stared at the Grinch and said,|"Santy Claus, why,
{22786}{22899}"Why are you taking|our Christmas tree? WHY?"
{22909}{23038}But, you know, that old Grinch|was so smart and so slick
{23054}{23145}He thought up a lie,|and he thought it up quick!
{23149}{23272}"I, my sweet little tot,"|the fake Santy Claus lied,
{23278}{23402}"There's a light on this tree|that won't light on one side.
{23406}{23494}"So I'm taking it home|to my workshop, my dear.
{23498}{23622}"I'll fix it up there.|Then I'll bring it back here."
{23628}{23728}And his fib fooled the child.|Then he patted her head
{23732}{23820}And he got her a drink|and he sent he to bed.
{23824}{23919}And when Cindy-Lou Who|was in bed with her cup,
{23923}{24033}He crept to the chimney|and stuffed the tree up!
{24037}{24109}Then he went up the chimney himself,|the old liar.
{24113}{24236}And the last thing he took|was a log for their fire.
{24241}{24370}On their walls he left nothing but hooks,|and some wire.
{24378}{24432}And the one speck of food
{24436}{24466}The he left in the house
{24470}{24587}Was a crumb|that was even too small for a mouse.
{24651}{24720}Then he did the same thing|to the other Whos' houses
{24724}{24775}Leaving crumbs|Much too small
{24779}{24866}For the other Whos' mouses!
{24905}{24993}/You nauseateme, Mr. Grinch.
{25025}{25113}/With a nauseous super-naus.
{25139}{25186}/You're a crooked jerky jockey
{25190}{25300}/And you drive a crooked hoos.|/Mr. Grinch.
{25340}{25418}/Your soul is an appalling dump heap
{25422}{25560}/overflowing with the most|/disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable,
{25564}{25658}/Mangled up in tangled up knots.
{25887}{25980}/You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch.
{26006}{26096}/You're a nasty, wasty skunk.
{26109}{26176}/Your heart is full of unwashed socks
{26180}{26285}/Your soul is full of gunk.|/Mr. Grinch.
{26310}{26366}/The three words that best describe you,
{26370}{26427}/are as follows, and I quote:
{26431}{26512}/"Stink, stank, stunk!"
{26684}{26727}It was a quarter of dawn...
{26731}{26775}All the Whos, still a-bed
{26779}{26837}All the Whos, still a-snooze
{26841}{26890}When he packed up his sled,
{26894}{26984}Packed it up with their presents!|The ribbons! The wrappings!
{26988}{27118}The snoof! The fuzzle!|The trimmings! The trappings!
{27585}{27706}Ten thousand feet up!|Up the side of Mount Crumpit,
{27728}{27844}He rode with the load|to the tiptop to dump it!
{28397}{28481}"Pooh-pooh to the Whos!"|he was grinch-ish-ly humming.
{28485}{28566}"They're finding out now|that no Christmas is coming!
{28570}{28647}"They're just waking up!|I know just what they'll do!
{28651}{28705}"Their mouths will hang open|a minute or two
{28709}{28836}"Then the Whos down in Who-ville|will all cry BOO-HOO!"
{28851}{28891}"That's a noise,"|grinned the Grinch,
{28895}{28973}"That I simply must hear!"
{28977}{29094}He paused.|And the Grinch put a hand to his ear.
{29105}{29204}And he did hear a sound rising|over the snow.
{29208}{29282}It started in low.
{29301}{29386}Then it started to grow...
{29618}{29711}/Fah who foraze, dah who doraze
{29722}{29819}/Welcome, Christmas, come this way
{29824}{29917}/Fah who foraze, dah who doraze
{29929}{30026}/Welcome, Christmas, Christmas Day
{30033}{30128}/Welcome, welcome, fah who rahmus
{30135}{30230}/Welcome, welcome, dah who dahmus
{30239}{30330}/Christmas Day is in our grasp
{30341}{30362}/So long as we...
{30366}{30463}But this...|this sound wasn't sad!
{30481}{30571}Why, this sound sounded glad!
{30631}{30754}Every Who down in Who-ville,|the tall and the small,
{30758}{30865}Was singing!|Without any presents at all!
{30878}{30954}He HADN'T stopped Christmas from coming!
{30958}{31004}IT CAME!
{31008}{31113}Somehow or other,|it came just the same!
{31167}{31289}And the Grinch,|with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,
{31293}{31411}Stood puzzling and puzzling:|"How could it be so?
{31424}{31506}It came without ribbons!
{31517}{31595}It came without tags!
{31621}{31729}"It came without packages, boxes or bags!"
{31736}{31846}He puzzled and puzzled,|`till his puzzler was sore.
{31850}{31937}Then the Grinch thought of something|he hadn't before!
{31941}{32072}"Maybe Christmas," he thought,|"doesn't come from a store.
{32077}{32204}"Maybe Christmas... perhaps...|means a little bit more!"
{33319}{33357}And what happened then?
{33361}{33413}Well... in Who-ville they say
{33417}{33479}That the Grinch's small heart
{33483}{33568}Grew three sizes that day!
{33604}{33712}And then... the true meaning|of Christmas came through
{33716}{33793}And the Grinch|found the strength of ten Grinches
{33797}{33862}...plus two.
{33874}{33951}And now that his heart|didn't feel quite so tight,
{33955}{34033}He whizzed with his load|through the bright morning light
{34037}{34210}With the smile is his soul,|preceded by trumpet, cheerly blowing hoo-hoo.
{34252}{34281}He rode the Who-ville.
{34285}{34360}He brought back their toys.|He brought back their food
{34364}{34417}to the Who girls and boys.
{34421}{34509}He brought back their snoof|and their trimmings and fuzzle.
{34513}{34604}He brought back their pantuckers|their dafflers and wuzzle.
{34608}{34711}He brought everything back.|All the food for the feast.
{34715}{34744}And he...
{34748}{34784}...HE HIMSELF...!
{34788}{34885}The Grinch carved the roast beast!
{34957}{35024}Welcome Christmas,|bring your cheer,
{35028}{35092}cheer to all the Whos far and near.
{35096}{35212}Christmas Day is in our grasp|so long as we have hands to clasp.
{35216}{35349}Christmas Day will always be,|just so long as we have we.
{35353}{35417}Welcome Christmas, while we stand.
{35421}{35514}Heart to heart and hand in hand.
{35864}{35922}THE END
