Catch Us If You Can
The Dave Clark Five

[Written by Dave Clark and Lenny Davidson]

Here they come again, mmmm-mm-mm
Catch us if you can, mmmm-mm-mm
Time to get a move on, mmmm-mm-mm
We will yell with all of our might

Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can

Now we gotta run, mmmm-mm-mm
No more time for fun, mmmm-mm-mm
When we're gettin' angry, mmmm-mm-mm
We will yell with all of our might

Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can

---- Harmonica ----

Here they come again, mmmm-mm-mm
Catch us if you can, mmmm-mm-mm
Time to get a move on, mmmm-mm-mm
We will yell with all of our might

Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can

Hey, Texas. That "catch us if you can," reminds me of the gingerbread man. Thanks, edgar.

Love this carol, folks:

While Shepherds watch their flocks by night

While Shepherds watch their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around

"Fear not," said he for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all man-kind"

"To you in David's town this day
Is born of David's line
A Savior who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign

Those spoke the seraph and forth-with
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God who thus
Addressed their joyful song

"All glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace
Goodwill hence-forth from heav'n to men
Begin and never cease"

Kiefer Sutherland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Birth name Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland

Born December 21, 1966
London, England

Kiefer William Sutherland (born December 21, 1966 in London, England) is an Emmy Award-winning and Golden Globe-winning Canadian television and film actor, best known for his role of Jack Bauer on the series 24. Sutherland owns a recording studio and record label, called Ironworks.



Biography

Kiefer Sutherland is the son of Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas, both successful Canadian actors. He is of Scottish descent on both sides and is the grandson of Canadian statesman and founder of Canadian medicare Tommy Douglas, who was in 2004 voted by CBC viewers as The Greatest Canadian.

He and his twin sister, Rachel, were born in London while his parents were working there. As a result, he holds both Canadian and British passports. His family moved to Los Angeles, California shortly afterwards, but his parents eventually divorced in 1970. In 1975, Sutherland moved with his mother to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he attended high school at St. Andrew's College, Martingrove Collegiate Institute and Malvern Collegiate Institute. Kiefer has stated he wasn't aware his father was an actor until he was 18-years old.

Sutherland was engaged to Julia Roberts, although in 1991 their relationship ended just five days before their planned marriage.

Several episodes of 24 have allegedly been rewritten to work around minor injuries Sutherland sustained when partying. In an interview with the London Daily Telegraph, Sutherland said, "I can't deny half the stuff that's been written about me has been true. I've done some stupid things. You have to take responsibility, go, 'That was embarrassing,' and move forward as best you can."

He has a daughter, Sarah Jude Sutherland, and one stepdaughter, Michelle, from his previous marriage (September 12, 1987 - 1990) to Camelia Kath, a widow, who was previously married to Terry Kath of the rock band Chicago.

On June 29, 1996, he married Kelly Winn. The couple are currently divorcing.

During the fall of 2001, Sutherland unintentionally interrupted the filming of the premiere episode of an online series titled The Lonely Island. In the episode "White Power", the main characters develop an addiction to teeth whitener, and eventually mug an old woman to facilitate their addiction. Sutherland, driving by at the time, believed the mugging was real and jumped out of his car to intervene. A portion of Sutherland's appearance is displayed after the credits. This anecdote was recounted by Andy Samberg.

Sutherland was featured on the cover of the April edition of Rolling Stone, in an article entitled "Alone in the Dark with Kiefer Sutherland." The article opened up with Sutherland revealing his interest to be killed off in 24. However, he had also stated,"Don't get me wrong. I love what I do." It also revealed that he devotes 10 out of 12 months a year working on 24 [1].

Kiefer provides voiceovers for the current ad campaign of Ford of Canada. In mid 2006, he voiced the Apple Computer advertisement announcing the inclusion of Intel chips in their Macintosh computer line. [2] He has also starred in Japanese commercials for Calorie Mate, performing a parody of his Jack Bauer character.

Kiefer made an appearance in the opening skit of the 2006 Primetime Emmy Awards as his 24 character Jack Bauer.

A husband was trying to prove to his wife that women talk more than
men. He showed her a study that reported that men use an average
of 15,000 words a day, but women use 30,000 words a day.


The wife promply told him that women use
twice as many words because they have to
repeat everything they say to men.


Looking stunned, the husband said,
"What?"


"Women use twice as many words because they have to repeat everything they say to men!"

Well, we know our Bob has finished when he makes another joke about the eternal words of men and women.

Thanks, hawkman, for the very informative background on the celebs.

Hope our Raggedy is all right. Perhaps later we will see her appear here with photo's.

Is this weird or what?

Misfits - Vampira Lyrics
hey black dress moves in a blue movie graverobbers from outer

tremble so wicked two inch nails micro waist with a pale white
feline face inclination eyebrows to there mistress to the horror
kid cemetary of the white love ghoul, well take off your shabby
dress come and lay beside me come a little bit closer come a
little bit closer come a little bit closer come a little bit

Phish
Wolfman's Brother

Well it was many years ago now
But I really can't be sure
That's when it all began then
I heard that knock upon my door

And the wolfman's brother
The wolfman's brother
Came down on me

The telephone was ringing
That's when I handed it to Liz
She said, "This isn't who it would be,
If it wasn't who it is"

It's the wolfman's brother,
The wolfman's brother
Came down on me

So I might be on a side street
Or a stairway to the stars
I hear the high pitched cavitation
Of propellers from afar

It's the wolfman's brother...
Come down on me

So with meaningless excitement
And smooth atonal sound
It's like a cross between a hurricane
And a ship that's run aground

It's the wolfman's brother
Coming down on - coming down on me

er, edgar. I'm beginning to feel that the holly, jolly Christmas has just been attacked by a vampire and a wolfman. Do you suppose that this is satan's work.

Well, Keifer Sutherland starred in The Lost Boys, a movie about those blood suckers, so we might as well go with the flow.

I had no idea that the Doors did this one from that movie:

Doors - People Are Strange Lyrics


People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

A very belated GROAN for Tipperary.

A thank you to Letty for posting that Vampira lady ( I don't like that scary stuff )
and
A good evening to all
and
Birthday greetings to Jane and Kiefer:

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.

Wow! Our Raggedy was a little late, but we are just glad that she is back with us in living color. Thanks, PA for the photo's.

Barbara Billingsley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Barbara Billingsley (born Barbara Lillian Combes on December 22, 1915 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actress. Her professional name comes from the surname of her first husband, Glenn Billingsley. She was sometimes credited as Barbara Billinsley.

She started her career in New York City, appearing in the Broadway play, Straw Hat, and then worked as a fashion model. As an actress on the silver screen, she had usually uncredited roles in major motion picture productions in the 1940s. These roles continued into the first half of the 1950s and led to lead roles on the sitcoms Professional Father and The Brothers.

She is best known for her role as matriarch June Cleaver on the sitcom Leave It to Beaver. The show ran from 1957 to 1963 and proved to be very lucrative for Billingsley. However, when the show ended, she was typecast as saccharine sweet, and had trouble obtaining acting jobs for years. After a long absence from the public eye, she appeared in the movie Airplane! in 1980. She also did the voice of Nanny on Muppet Babies from 1984 to 1991.

Billingsley appeared in a Leave It to Beaver reunion movie and in a subsequent revival television series, Still the Beaver. In the 1997 film version of Leave It to Beaver, Billingsley played the character "Aunt Martha".

She and her first husband, Glenn Billingsley, a successful restaurateur, had two sons, Drew and Glenn, Jr. Since 1974, Drew and Glenn have owned and operated Billingsley's Restaurant in West Los Angeles, in the tradition of their father, and their great uncle, Sherman Billingsley, founder of New York City's very fashionable 1940s-era nightclub, The Stork Club.

Billingsley divorced Glenn Billingsley and later married Roy Kellino. After Kellino's death, she married Dr. William Mortenson.

Billingsley is related to actor/producer Peter Billingsley, best known for his starring role as Ralphie in the seasonal classic A Christmas Story, by marriage. First husband Glenn's cousin is Peter's mom, Gail Billingsley.

Today, Billingsley resides in Santa Monica, California. She is a proud grandmother of four.

Ruth Roman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ruth Roman (December 22, 1922 - September 9, 1999) was an American actress.


She was born Norma Roman in the Boston suburb of Lynn, Massachusetts and as a young girl pursued her desire to become an actress by enrolling in the prestigious Bishop Lee Dramatic School in Boston. Following completion of her studies Roman headed to Hollywood where she obtained bit parts in several films before being cast in the title role in the 1945 thirteen episode serial Jungle Queen.

In the early 1950s, The Jungle Queen became one of the television serials that brought Roman a whole new audience of baby boomers. In 1949 she had a secondary but important role in the acclaimed 1949 film, Champion. In one of her most memorable roles, Roman costarred with Farley Granger and Robert Walker in the Alfred Hitchcock thriller Strangers on a Train (1951).

Married three times, she had one son with her first husband, Mortimer Hall. In the 1950 film Three Secrets, she played a distraught mother waiting to learn whether or not her child survived a plane crash. Ironically, in July of 1956, Roman and her four-year-old son were passengers on board the SS Andrea Doria ocean liner who were separated from each other when the ship collided with another and sank. Rescued, Roman had to wait to learn her son's fate which resulted in a media frenzy for photos as she waited at the pier in New York City for her son's safe arrival aboard one of the rescue ships.


A stage actress, in 1959 she won the Sarah Siddons Award for her work in Chicago theatre. Although she never achieved the level of stardom in film that many had originally predicted for her, Ruth Roman nevertheless worked regularly in film well into the 1960s after which she began making appearances on television shows and movies including a recurring role in 1965-66 in The Long Hot Summer (TV series 1965-1966), and for the 1986 season of Knots Landing and on Murder She Wrote.

It was for her many quality performances on television for which she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6672 Hollywood Blvd.

She died in her sleep at her Laguna Beach, California home in 1999, aged 76.

Maurice Gibb
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia




Birth name Maurice Ernest Gibb
Born December 22, 1949, Douglas, Isle of Man
Died January 12, 2003, Miami Beach, Florida

Maurice Ernest Gibb, CBE (22 December 1949-12 January 2003), was a musician and singer-songwriter. He was born in Douglas, Isle of Man to English parents. The twin of Robin Gibb, Maurice was the younger by 35 minutes. He is best known as a member of the singing-songwriting trio the Bee Gees, formed with his brothers Robin and Barry. The trio had their start in Australia; their major success came when they returned to England where they had lived for several years as children.




Early years

Gibb grew up with his family in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, England. In 1958 he and his family moved to Brisbane, Australia, settling in one of the city's poorest suburbs, Cribb Island, which was subsequently demolished to make way for Brisbane Airport.


Career


While in Brisbane, he and brothers Robin and Barry formed the Bee Gees. They moved back to England and signed with Robert Stigwood, which led to their becoming one of the most successful musical groups of the 1960s, 70s and 80s. In a career spanning five decades, the group sold over 180 million records.[1]

Maurice Gibb primarily sang harmony and played bass guitar, guitar, and keyboard, and was known as the musician of the group. He contributed to their writing team, especially their music. Occasionally he sang lead as well. Maurice was generally known as "the quiet one" (generally due to his actually being somewhat shy privately, and to his deference to his other brothers being spokesmen for the group). His reputation as a mild-mannered stabilising influence continued into later life. When the Bee Gees walked out of their interview with British chat show host Clive Anderson, Maurice was last to leave, with the words "Well I'd love to, but I don't do impressions." [citation needed]

In the late 1960s, Maurice made a brief attempt to break into acting, playing a role in a short-lived West End musical, Sing a Rude Song. While the musical did not earn rave reviews, Maurice's performance was said to be one of its bright spots.

He released two solo singles, one in 1970 and one in 1984, but he did not aggressively pursue a solo career as a singer away from the Bee Gees as his brothers did.


Personal life

He was married to the Scottish pop star Lulu from 1969 to 1973; they had no children, and the pressure of their respective commitments led to their divorce.

Together with his second wife Yvonne, Gibb had two children: Adam and Samantha.

Gibb loved the sport of paintball, and had a team which he called the Royal Rat Rangers, a reference to his being named a Commander of the British Empire, and to his time at the Little River AA group, where the members referred to each other as "river rats." He promoted the sport at every opportunity, and opened a paintball equipment shop, "Commander Mo's Paintball Shop," in North Miami Beach, Florida, which closed in 2005.

Maurice Gibb died unexpectedly at a Miami Beach, Florida, hospital on 12 January 2003, of complications of a twisted intestine, leading to cardiac arrest.


Awards

In 1994, Maurice Gibb was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and in 1997 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His catalogue is published by BMG Music Publishing.

In 2002 Maurice was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE), along with his brothers, but the awards were not presented until 2004, after Maurice's death; his son Adam accompanied Barry and Robin to Buckingham Palace for the ceremony.

Robin Gibb
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia




Birth name Robin Hugh Gibb
Born December 22, 1949, Douglas, Isle of Man

Robin Hugh Gibb, CBE (born December 22, 1949) is a singer and songwriter. He was born in Douglas, Isle of Man, to English parents, the twin brother of Maurice Gibb (1949-2003), younger brother to Barry. He is best known as a member of the singing/songwriting trio the Bee Gees. The trio got their start in Australia, and found their major success when they returned to England. The Bee Gees became one of the most successful pop groups of all time.






Origins

Son of Hugh and Barbara Gibb, he grew up with his two brothers in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, England until the Gibbs moved to Redcliffe, Australia in 1958. They settled in as they went to school at the local public school Humpybong State School. Their music careers began in Australia, and flourished when they returned to England in 1968 to work with Robert Stigwood.


Solo career

Traditionally, Robin's role in the group has been one of singer, for which he vied constantly with his elder brother Barry Gibb during the group's first period of British success in the late 1960s. This eventually resulted in Robin leaving the group to begin a solo career. Meanwhile, there were rumours of drug problems, and his parents threatened to have him made a ward of court (the UK age of consent at that time being 21, and Robin only 19).

Although initially successful, with a number 2 hit, "Saved by the Bell", his album, Robin's Reign, was less successful and he found that being a solo artist was less than satisfying. He returned to the Bee Gees in 1970 and mended the breach with his family. The Bee Gees went on to their second period of phenomenal success in the disco-era late 1970s.

While continuing in the group, Robin also promoted his solo career and during the 1980s, he released three further solo albums (How Old Are You, Secret Agent, and Walls Have Eyes) which were more successful in Continental Europe than in the UK or USA. However, his 1984 single "Boys Do Fall in Love" did reach the Billboard top 40.

In the same month as his twin brother Maurice's sudden death, Robin's next solo album, Magnet, was released in Germany on January 27, 2003 (Label: SPV), and worldwide shortly afterwards. It features the old Bee Gees classic' "Wish You Were Here" in a new acoustic version. With Maurice's death, the Bee Gees were disbanded.


In August 2003, Robin announced that he would be releasing a new single of "My Lover's Prayer", a song first recorded by the Bee Gees in 1997, with vocals by Robin, Wanya Morris, and Lance Bass. This was played on radio, but was never actually released. In October 2003 another version was recorded as a duet with Alistair Griffin, runner-up in the UK television program Fame Academy, on which Robin had appeared as a judge. My Lover's Prayer, credited as "Alistair Griffin featuring Robin Gibb", was eventually released in the UK in January 2004 as a double A side single, together with Griffin's solo recording of "Bring It On". It reached number 5 in the UK charts. The duet was also on Griffin's debut album Bring It On which charted at number 12.

In late 2004, Robin embarked on a solo tour of Germany, Russia and Asia, with Alistair Griffin as the opening act. On his return he released a CD and DVD of live recordings from the German leg of the tour, backed by the Frankfurt Neue Philharmonic Orchestra. A further solo tour of Latin America followed in 2005.

In June 2005 he joined X Factor runners up G4 at a sell-out concert at the Royal Albert Hall, London, singing the Bee Gees song "First of May" . A recording of this performance was released in December 2005 as part of a double A side single, credited as "G4 feat Robin Gibb" together with G4's own cover of Johnny Mathis' "When a Child is Born". This track was also included on the platinum selling album G4 & Friends which reached number 6 in the UK album charts.

In February 2006, after a long period of coolness following rumoured disagreements about a planned memorial concert for Maurice Gibb, Robin joined his brother Barry live on stage at a charity concert in Hollywood, Florida This was the first time they had performed together since the death of their brother in 2003.

In March 2006 he announced plans for more solo concerts in Shanghai and Portugal. In May 2006, Robin took part in the Prince's Trust 30th Birthday Concert at the Tower of London along with his brother Barry. They sang 3 songs: "Jive Talkin", "To Love Somebody" and "You Should be Dancing". In September 2006, Robin Gibb performed "Stayin' Alive" at Miss World 2006 contest finals in Poland.

In November 2006, Robin released an album of Christmas carols called Robin Gibb - My Favourite Carols. The album also features a brand new song written by Robin called "Mother of Love" which will be released as a single. The album also has bonus DVD titled A Personal Christmas Moment with Robin Gibb.

Also in November 2006, Robin performed a solo concert, entitled Bee Gees - Greatest Hits, at the Araneta Coliseum in Manila, Philippines.


Personal life

In 1968 Robin married Molly Hullis, a secretary in Robert Stigwood's organisation. The couple had survived the Hither Green rail crash, which killed 49 people on the 5th November 1967. They had two children, Spencer and Melissa, but they eventually divorced in 1980 after years of living separate lives, with Robin almost permanently in the USA and Molly remaining in the UK. He remarried in 1985. Robin's second wife, Dwina Murphy, is an artist, and they have a son, Robin John. Robin is a member of the Vegan Society.

He is currently living in Thame, Oxfordshire, England, but announced in early November 2006 that he was in the process of buying a house on the outskirts of Peel, Isle of Man.


Awards

In 1994, Robin Gibb was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and in 1997 the Bee Gees were inducted as a group into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Robin was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2001/2002 New Year's Honours List, along with his brothers Maurice and Barry. The official presentation ceremony at Buckingham Palace was delayed until 2004 due to Maurice's death.

Robin and Barry Gibb both received Honorary Degrees of Doctor of Music from The University of Manchester in May 2004.

Oh, my, Bob, those naughty Italians. Funny, hawkman, but I learned to spell Mississippi by that mnemonic device. Thanks again for the background on the celebs.

Hope our Raggedy is a bit earlier today, folks, as we always miss her when she's not around; however, we will await her photo's before acknowledging Bob of Boston's info.

I was looking for the lyrics to a song that had to do with spelling Mississippi, and I can recall some of them, but not enough to play. I do remember that "the history of steamboat Bill" was one line.

This led me to find this oldie which is seems to be a counterpart to Casey Jones.

Words by Ren. Shields, 1868-1913. Music by Leighton Bros.
[Bert Leighton, 1877-1964; other brother's info unknown]

Down the Missippi steamed the Whipperwill,
commanded by that pilot, Mister Steamboat Bill.
The owners gave him orders on the strick Q. T.,
to try and beat the record of the "Robert E. Lee."
Just feed up you fires, let the old smoke roll,
Burn up all your cargo if you run out of coal.
If we don't beat that record, Billy told the mate,
"send mail in care of Peter to the Golden gate."
CHORUS
Steamboat Bill, steaming down the Mississippi,
Steamboat Bill, a mighty man was he.
Steamboat Bill, steaming down the Mississippi,
going to beat the record of the "Robert E. Lee."

2.
Up then stepped a gambling man from Louisville,
who tried to get a bet against the Whipperwill.
Billy flashed a roll that surely was a bear,
the boiler, it exploded, blew them up in the air.
The gambler said to Billy as they left the wreck,
"I don't know where we're going, but we're neck in neck."
Says Bill to the gambler, "I'll tell you what I'll do,
I will bet another thousand I'll go higher than you."

CHORUS
Steamboat Bill, he tore up the Mississippi,
Steamboat Bill, the tide it made him swear.
Steamboat Bill, he tore up the Mississippi,
the explosion of the boiler got him up in the air.

3.
River's all in mourning now for Steamboat Bill,
no more you'll hear the puffing of the Whipperwill,
There's crape on ev'ry steamboat that plows those streams,
from Memphis right to Natchez down to New Orleans.
The wife of Mister William was at home in bed,
When she got the telegram that Steamboat's dead.
Says she to the children, "Bless each honey lamb,
the next papa that you will have will be a railroad man."

Steamboat Bill, missing on the Mississippi,
Steamboat Bill, is with an angel band,
Steamboat Bill, missing on the Mississippi,
he's a pilot on the ferry in that Promised Land.

Title: A Couple More Years lyrics
Artist: Jerry Lee Lewis / Willie Nelson
Album: Last Man Standing lyrics

I've got a couple more years on you, babe, that's all
I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
And it ain't that I'm wiser, it's only that I've spent
More time with my back to the wall
And I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby, that's all

I've walked a couple more roads than you, baby, that's all
And I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl
And you're headin somewhere, but I've been to somewhere
And found it was nowhere at all
And I've picked up a couple of years on you baby, that's all

Now saying goodbye, girl don't never come easy at all
But you've got to fly cause you're hearing those young eagles call
And someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and tall
And you'll say I've got a couple more years on you, baby, that's all

I've got a couple more years on you baby, that's all
You'll say I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall
It ain't that I'm wiser it's only that I've spent
More time with my back to the wall
And I've picked up a couple more years on you baby, that's all

Good morning WA2K.

I was here early yesterday, Letty, but A2K wasn't. I gave up on the third try.

Barbara and Ruth and Maurice and Robin.

Hey, edgar. Like that song, Texas. The last man standing rather reminds me of the next one that I will play by The Bee Gees.

Well, Raggedy. I didn't realize that you had a difficult time getting into our studio. Perhaps someone changed the locks.

Hmmm. Great photo's, PA. Thanks for naming them. Don't know Barbara I'm afraid, but thanks to our Bob, I see that Maurice is Robin's twin.

From The Bee Gees:



I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
but I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no.

I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said.

Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said.

'Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was one me.

Seeing as how this is the beginning of Christmas weekend I decided on an appropriate song:

You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch
Author: Dr. Seuss

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 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 crockodile.


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, 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 splot
With moldy purple spots,
Mr. Grinch.


Your soul is an apalling 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 nauseaus super-naus.
You're a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked horse.
Mr. Grinch.


You're a three decker saurkraut and toadstool
sandwich
With arsenic sauce.
