How the Grinch Stole Christmas Soundtrack Lyrics






Taylor Momsen - Kids Today

[ Featuring Jim Carrey ]

Gaze into the face of fear!
I'm not scared
Denial is to be expected in the face of pure evil
I'm a psycho!
Umm, maybe you need a time-out
Kids today... so desensitized by movies and television

Busta Rhymes - Grinch 2000

[ Featuring Jim Carrey ]

[Jim Carrey]
This is a Flipmode Squad
Jim Carrey collabo
Now what?

[Busta]
Ugh, hallelujah
Kids hear this come on
While I'm lacing and tryna prepare this
For y'all, oh well I got a story to tell
About a dude I met once, miserable as hell
How grouchy he was
And how slouchy he was
And when he talked, you'd smell his breath
And how lousy it was
And if you daydreamed, he'd give you pinch
Now let me tell you about Mr. Grinch
Every holiday season while we was young, growing up
Everything be cool when Mr. Grinch show up
Always plottin' and schemin' to ruin everybody's holiday season
And never had a justifiable reason

[Jim Carrey]
Yo B I had my reason
They call me The Grinch
I tried to live the given
But it was making me winch
I see happy kids whitless
"Merry Christmas" they shouted
I stole the gifts
And there was nothing anyone could do about it

[Chorus]
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You really are a heel
You're as cuddly as a cactus, (uh) you're as charming as an eel
Mister Grinch
(Busta Rhymes, Jim Carrey, Mr. Grinch)
Mister Grinch

[Busta]
He was an angry little dude with a horrible attitude
And he'll show you some gratitude
If you let him ruin your mood
Everybody knew about him from here to Baton Rouge
He remind me of the crazy lost cousin of Mr. Scrooge
Word to mother

[Jim Carrey]
Yes, it's my favorite day
You let me take all your gifts
And just yell my name!!
(MR. GRINCH)
After that I'll be on my way
Just to return and successfully ruin your day

[Busta]
Okay for the record
What the hell made you like that?
So grouchy and grimy
How everything about you is whack
Ay yo I know you all can tell
From all the talk from his mouth
You better set some big traps
Around the gifts in your house
State of the art surveillance
Just to give it a boost
You sleep with one eye open
With a couple wild dogs running loose, now
He's definitely not the dude you can trust
He be bouncing with all your goods
And leave you biting the dust

[Chorus]
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
Mister Grinch, Mister Grinch

[Busta]
Grinch come around safe guard your things
You better safe guard your money
Safe guard your bling
You gotta safe guard your crib
Safe guard your g's
You gotta safe guard the stash and the car keys
You gotta listen up to what we talking about
Yeah it was better when the Grinch was never coming around her
Time after time again
Never mind he already took the liqour out your Heineken
He already quick to try again
To steal the gifts another way
And give you all a different style again
Why you stackin' and you trying to swell
You best believe Mr. Grinch schemin, dude stay coneiving ass
Ay yo he stay schemin' when you thinkin' he not
Looking over your shoulder
Peepin' everything you got
(He, he, he Busta Rhymes I will get you too)
Relax duke you need to chill
Something seriously wrong with you

[Chorus]
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
Mister Grinch, Mister 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
Mister Grinch, Mister Grinch

[Jim Carrey]
I wanna give a shout out to the West Side of Who-ville

Barenaked Ladies - Green Christmas

The streets are filled with Christmas cheer
At least it's only once a year
Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows
And carols ringing in my ear
Bundled up against the cold
Lines wherever gifts are sold
Each shop window displays a Christmas scene
For everybody young and old
Icicles on eavesdrops and tinsel on the trees
But it's a green Christmas for me

Couples skating on the pond (couples skating on the pond)
Making angels on the lawn (making angels on the lawn)
Five red mittens drying on the rad
And needle-shedding Tannenbaum
Red bows on the railing
Snowflakes on the ground
But it's a green Christmas in this town

Green
'Cause of everything I miss
All this mistletoe, no kiss
And with every Christmas wish
There would be no greater gift
Than to have this envy lift

Carolers are at my door (lala la-la)
Don't wanna hear them anymore
Stockings on the mantle
It snows here everyday
But it's a green Christmas anyway

Red nose on the reindeer
Tinsel on the tree
But it's a green Christmas for me

Little Isidor - Christmas Of Love

[ Featuring The Inquisitors ]

Baby picture you and me
Hanging round a christmas tree
Coloured light and an angel up above
Christmas of love

Baby everywhere we go
Bring a little mistletoe
We'll be hugging we'll be kissing like two turtledoves
Christmas of love

Telling everyone
Santa gonna come
Have a lot of fun at christmas time
Now he's on his way
Everybody say
Have a merry christmas of love

Baby let it snow tonight
That'll be just right
Just imagine making out by the fire light
Christmas of love
Christmas of love (hehe)

Telling everyone
Santa gonna come
Have a lot of fun at christmas time
How he's on his way
Everybody say
Have a merry christmas of love

Baby make a little wish
And you put it on your list
Santa sends you everything you've been dreaming of
Christmas of love

Christmas of love
Christmas of love
(christmas of love 12x)
Merry christmas baby
Woo hoo!

Ben Folds - Lonely Christmas Eve

I'm not so bad
I just hate to see a good time had
By everyone but me
On this lonely Christmas Eve
I hear them up and down
And up and down the street

They're making noise
Noise, noise, noise
How I hate their happy noise
There's only one thing I hate more, come to think of it
And that's the people who keep
Makin' it

Feast, feast, feast, feast
They'll have more than anyone could ever eat
Me, I'm stuck here with my Cream of Wheat
There's no one here to feast with me
On this lonely Christmas Eve

Don't they know I'm up here all alone
In my cave up in the hills?
How I wish that this would go away
This dreadful holiday
That they call Christmas Day
Oh...

When they're done with all their Christmas noise
And they've had their Christmas feast
Just when I think that I might finally
Get a moment's peace
They start to

Oh, sing, sing, sing, sing
Now I'll never get no sleep
I'm screamin' out the window, but it don't do no good
They sing and sing and sing all through the neighborhood

Sing, sing, sing
They take their little break, then they do it all again

It's a lonely Christmas Eve

Jim Carrey - Grinch Schedule

The nerve of those Whos
Inviting me down there - on such short notice!
Even if I wanted to go, my schedule wouldn't allow it!
[opens up schedule book]
Four o'clock, wallow in self pity;
Four-thirty, stare into the abyss;
Five o'clock, solve world hunger, tell no one;
Five-thirty, jazzercize;
Six-thirty, dinner with me - I can't cancel that again;
Seven o'clock, wrestle with my self-loathing...
I'm booked
Of course, if I bump the loathing to nine, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness
But what would I wear?!

Smash Mouth - Better Do It Right

Momma tole me, "Boy, you best behave,
'Cause Santa keeps a list of all his favs.
And if you don't shape up, you ain't gettin' squat."
But the devil on my shoulder's gettin' hot.

Hotter than Heaven, Cool outta sight.
If I'm gonna do wrong, I'm gonna do it right.

So he took me for a ride in 'is Cadillac,
Stolen from a cleptomaniac, at a horse-race track.
I said, "Sir, it's Christmas Eve'eople should be home in bed."
Instead, he said,
"You merry gentle men always bet on red."

The Duke of Deception, Malice, and Spite.
If I'm gonna do wrong, I'm gonna do it right.

When you're done, you're really done.
We look back and say, Hey, that was fun.
When all you wanted was a BB gun,
Santa Claus never did come.

{Interlude}

When you're done, you're really done.
We look back and say, Hey, that was fun.

So he took me for a ride in 'is big ol' sleigh.
We flew around the world in just one day.
Johnny Mathis sang.

I said, "Sir, what you got for me in that sled?"
Instead, he said,
"Boy, you been bettin' on a darker shade of red."

Hotter than Heaven, Cool outta sight.
Duke of Deception, Malice, and Spite.
Johnny is singin',
(Johnny is singin',)
"Remember tonight:
If you gotta do wrong,
You better do it RIGHT."

Jim Carrey - Reindeer

Alright!
You're a reindeer, here's your motivation!
Your name is Rudolph
You're a freak with a red nose, and nobody likes you
Then one day Santa picks you, and you save Christmas

No forget that part, we'll improvise!
Just keep it kind of loosey-goosey
You hate Christmas! You're gonna steal it!
Saving Christmas was a lousy ending
Way too commercial!

Action!

[Scuffle noise]

Brilliant!

You reject your own nose
Because it represents the glitter of commercialism!
Why didn't I think of that!
Cut, print, check the gate moving on!

Eels - Christmas Is Going To The Dogs

Get off your sled and go to bed, don't you ever tire?
Throw a bone, I'm finally home curled up by the fire
Snow is falling from the sky like ashes from an urn
Sweet dreams, my little one now it's my turn

Well, Christmas is going to the dogs
We'd rather have chew toys than yule logs
And things aren't looking very good, it's true
So, I'll just lay here and chew

Now, when I sleep I like to dream of rabbits in the snow
Jumping right into my jaws from their rabbit hole
Take one home and set him down right next to your shoes
Wake up to a big surprise my gift to you

And Christmas is going to the dogs
We'd rather have chew toys than yule logs
And things aren't looking very good, it's true
So, I'll just lay here and chew

And Christmas is going to the dogs
We're scarfing down the turkey and egg-nog
And things aren't looking very good, it's true
So, I'll just lay here and chew
So, I'll just stay here and chew

Jim Carrey - Youre 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 thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

You're a foul 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 rotter, Mr. Grinch,
You're the king of sinful sots,
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched
With moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch.
You're a three decker sauerkraut
and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch,
With a nauseous super "naus",
You're a crooked dirty jockey
And you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch.
Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable
Mangled up in tangled up knots!

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!"

Jim Carrey - Christmas Means More

[ Featuring Anthony Hopkins ]

And the Grinch
With his Grinch feet
Ice cold in the snow
He stood puzzling and puzzling

[Grinch]:
How could it be so
It came without ribbons
It came without tags
It came without packages, boxes and bags!

And he puzzled and puzzled
Until his puzzler was sore
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before

[Grinch]:
Maybe Christmas
He thought

[Grinch]:
Doesn't come from a star
Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more

'N Sync - You Dont Have To Be Alone (On Christmas)

I don't know when we fell apart
Love that we had was like a work of art
I used to see heaven in your eyes
The angels are falling from your sky
Things we said
We're so wrong
And I haven't held you for so long
My foolish pride
Turns me inside
Why did we tell all those lies?
You can reach for the phone
You don't have to be alone

Outside the wind seems so cold
Your heart is frozen like the snow
And there's no one home
To keep you safe and warm
Your eyes are red because you've cried
You fell asleep by the fireside
But there's one thing you should know
Oh its Christmas baby
You don't have to be alone

And I have only one wish on my list
For me you would be the pefect gift, oh yeah
There's nothing colder than an empty heart
And how the days we're meant to be alone
The smiles we gave
When our hearts we saved
By eachothers loving home
That subsided now
Happiness around
If only I could find a way to your heart

You don't, have to be alone
You don't have to be, all alone at all
You don't, have to be alone
You don't have to be alone

Faith Hill - Where Are You Christmas?

Oh, oh, hmm
Where are you Christmas
Why can't I find you
Why have you gone away
Where is the laughter
You used to bring me
Why can't I hear music play

My world is changing
I'm rearranging
Does that mean Christmas changes too

Where are you Christmas
Do you remember
The one you used to know
I'm not the same one
See what the time's done
Is that why you have let me go, oh

Christmas is here
Everywhere, oh
Christmas is here
If you care, oh

If there is love in your heart and your mind
You will feel like Christmas all the time

Oh, I feel you Christmas
I know I've found you
You never fade away, oh
The joy of Christmas
Stays here inside us
Fills each and every heart with love

Where are you Christmas
Fill your heart with love, mmhm

Back to: The Grinch


Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (also known as How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Dr. Seuss' The Grinch or simply The Grinch) is a 2000 American Christmas fantasy comedy film directed by Ron Howard, who also produced with Brian Grazer, from a screenplay written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman. Based on Dr. Seuss's 1957 children's book of the same name, this marked the first Dr. Seuss book to be adapted into a full-length feature film and one of only two live-action adaptations, the other being The Cat in the Hat (2003). It is the second adaptation of the book, following the 1966 animated TV special.

Narrated by Anthony Hopkins, the film stars Jim Carrey as the eponymous character, with Taylor Momsen, Jeffrey Tambor, Christine Baranski, Bill Irwin and Molly Shannon in supporting roles. The story revolves around the Grinch, a grumpy, green recluse living on Mount Crumpit, who despises Christmas and the joyful residents of Whoville and sets out to sabotage their holiday celebration.

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas was released on November 17, 2000, by Universal Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics upon release, with praise for Carrey's portrayal and the film's visual effects, while its dark humor and tone were criticized. It emerged as a major commercial success at the box-office, grossing $346 million worldwide and spending four weeks as the top film in the U.S. It became the highest-grossing film of 2000 domestically and the sixth-highest grossing film of 2000, in addition to becoming the second-highest-grossing holiday film of all time, behind Home Alone (1990), until it was surpassed by the 2018 animated version of The Grinch produced by Universal's Illumination animation division.

At the 73rd Academy Awards, How the Grinch Stole Christmas won Best Makeup and Hairstyling, in addition to earning nominations for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design. Carrey's performance earned him a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.

The soundtrack for the album was released on November 7, 2000. It features a collection of music performed by several artists, including Busta Rhymes, Faith Hill, Eels, Smash Mouth, and NSYNC.
