Lyrics
You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch
– Uyindoda embi, Mnu. Grinch
You really are a heel
– Ngempela uyisithende
You’re as cuddly as a cactus, you’re as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch
– Unobungane njengama-cactus, unobungane njengengwenya, Mnu. Grinch
You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel
– Uyibhanana elibi elinesikhumba esimnyama esinamafutha
You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch
– Uyisilo, Mnu. Grinch
Your heart’s an empty hole
– Inhliziyo yakho iyimbobo engenalutho
Your brain is full of spiders, you’ve got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch
– Ubuchopho bakho bugcwele izicabucabu, unegalikhi emphefumulweni wakho, Mnu. Grinch
I wouldn’t touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole
– Ngangingeke ngikuthinte ngesigxobo esingamamitha angamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalolunye nesigamu
You’re a vile one, Mr. Grinch
– Wena ungumuntu omubi, Mnu. Grinch
You have termites in your smile
– Une izimvemvane in smile yakho
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch
– Unakho konke ubumnandi obumnandi bengwenya egula olwandle, Mnu. Grinch
Given a choice between the two of you
– Uma unikezwa ithuba lokukhetha phakathi kwenu
I’d take the seasick crocodile
– Ngingathatha ingwenya egula olwandle
You’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch
– Wena ungumuntu omubi, Mnu. Grinch
You’re a nasty-wasty skunk
– Wena skunk ezimbi-wasty
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch
– Inhliziyo yakho igcwele amasokisi angageziwe, umphefumulo wakho ugcwele izibhamu, Mnu. Grinch
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote, “Stink, stank, stunk”
– Amagama amathathu akuchaza kangcono yilawa alandelayo, futhi ngicaphuna, ” Stink, stank, stunk”
You’re a rotter, Mr. Grinch
– Wena ungurotter, Mnu. Grinch
You’re the king of sinful sots
– Uyinkosi yama-sots anesono
Your heart’s a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch
– Inhliziyo yakho iyitamatisi elifile eligcwele amabala puromi anesikhunta, Mnu. Grinch
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable
– Umphefumulo wakho uyinqwaba yokulahla udoti esabekayo egcwele izinhlobonhlobo ezihlazisayo kakhulu zemfucumfucu edabukisayo ongayicabanga
Mangled up in tangled up knots
– Ihlanganiswe ngamafindo ahlanganisiwe
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
– Uyangicasula, Mnu. Grinch
With a nauseous super “naus”
– With a super nesicanucanu ” naus”
You’re a crooked jerky jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch
– Ungumshayeli we-jockey okhohlakele futhi ushayela umshayeli okhohlakele, Mnu. Grinch
You’re a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich
– Uneminyaka ezintathu-decker sauerkraut futhi toadstool sandwich
With arsenic sauce
– Nge-arsenic sauce
