ANGRY GRINCH
Lyrics by Arthur Levesque -- http://boog.org/text
(To the tune of "Angry Inch" by Steven Trask
from the musical/movie "Hedwig and the Angry Inch")


Woken up on the mountain again
That Christmas spirit must be some kind of sin
Now all I want is sleep but I can't win
I am an angry Grinch

Twelve days of Christmas and twelve days of noise
I am a, I am an angry Grinch
Elves making presents for good girls and boys
I am a, I am an angry Grinch

I'm from the land where you still hear the Whos
I had to get out, was sick of their abuse
Moved to a cave and I got hooked on booze
I am an angry Grinch

Twelve days of Christmas and twelve days of noise
I am a, I am an angry Grinch
Elves making presents for good girls and boys
I am a, I am an angry Grinch
Twelve days of Christmas and twelve days of cheer
Santa is coming and I don't want him here
I've got to get out teach these Whos some fear
I am an angry Grinch, angry Grinch

Narrator said I'm a mean one
The Whos all call me nasty heel and no fun
Well now I'm coming, they'd better run
I am an angry Grinch

Twelve days of Christmas and twelve days of noise
I am a, I am an angry Grinch
Elves making presents for good girls and boys
I am a, I am an angry Grinch

Long story short
When they prepare for the celebration
They'll hang stockings down there
They'll hang stockings near the ash above the fire
It's days before Christmas
And already they've all put up a wreath
A few days later
The kids get up
Then the noise
As each and every one goes for their toys
Like the tangler-toober-tee
Or the tip-tingler-tango-tuzz
They'll gather to tables with roast beast sitting on them
And they'll feast on roast beast
And their Who pudding
And then, worst of all
Is when they start to sing!

Twelve days of Christmas and twelve days of cheer
Santa is coming and I don't want him here
I've got to get out teach these Whos some fear
I am an angry Grinch, angry Grinch

Twelve days of Christmas and gifts by the sack
Up in my mountain won't they cut me some slack
I am a Grinch and I'm gonna fight back
I am an angry Grinch, angry Grinch
