You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch

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 39 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 3 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 noxious super nos
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!

Rudolph analysis

I think this Christmas jingle, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, would like to remind us to make the best of the worst. Some things may be serendipitous, or a blessing in disguise. for example, the author uses Rudolph “red nose” to symbolize some unwanted grief, such as an albatross around the neck. Rudolph is looked down upon because of his red nose, and make an outcast by the reindeer community. However, when an authoritarian figure (metaphorically equivalent to “Santa”) makes use of Rudolph bright nose, Rudolph reindeer “friends” start to like him again.

This is a portrayal of the teenage community, and Rudolph silly little reindeer friends are the example of sheer self-interest and the monarchy of teenagers in school. This Christmas jingle is now sang to little children to convey the deeper meaning that in the future, as kids grow up, they become judgmental assholes.

So don’t be a bitch to the kid with the red nose. Who knows? They may be leading Santana sleigh one day. And won’t you want to be friends with them then! (which is not liking them for the right reasons but whatever!)
