Song Lyric of the Day (Dr. Seuss, on That ‘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 Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” lyrics by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel, music by Albert Hague, performed by Thurl Ravenscroft, from the animated TV special How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, original air date Dec. 18, 1966
