Bah Humbug Baby

Verse 1

Gather round, ye Whos and ghosts from stories old

There's a scandal in the snow that even Dickens never told

It starts with sleigh bells and the Grinch's mama's smile

But in the shadows creeps a miser plotting all the while

He wasn't just counting coins by candlelight alone

He made his way to Whoville, hearts colder than a stone

One fateful meeting, a twisted yuletide fate

Scrooge and Mrs. Grinch at the pearly garden gate

Chorus

Oh Scrooge you fool what did you do

Snuck down to Whoville for a fiendish rendezvous

Grinch got your genes and a wicked Christmas grudge

Now we're sufferin a holiday judge

Post-Chorus

Bah humbug, la la la

Stink stank, la la la

Green and mean, la la la

Christmas fiend, la la la

Verse 2

Mrs. Grinch didn't see it coming that fateful snow-white night

Scrooge left his top hat, ran away right outta sight

Nine months later a grumpy fuzzball made his debut

With a scowl and a sneer and a heart that barely grew

Pre-Chorus

Now every stocking shivers from the chill in his song

A jaded sneaky Grinch, dad's shadow looms so long

Chorus

Oh Scrooge you fool what did you do

Snuck down to Whoville for a fiendish rendezvous

Grinch got your genes and a wicked Christmas grudge

Now we're sufferin a holiday judge

Post-Chorus

Bah humbug, la la la

Stink stank, la la la

Green and mean, la la la

Christmas fiend, la la la

Bridge

Every ghost of Christmas past just shakes its weary head

Even Marley tried to warn him 'fore he landed in that bed

Now Whoville's got a legend that they never want to tell

A lovechild of two villains bringing yuletide hell

Verse 3

So next time you hear carols, and you cringe at every song

Remember, it's genetics that made the Grinch so wrong

It's not just thievin' presents that keeps his heart on freeze

It's Scrooge in his nightmares, daddy issues on the breeze

Chorus

Oh, Scrooge, you fiend what did you do

Gave Grinch the blues and Whoville too

Stockings empty, candy crushed

Yeah, Christmas dreams are getting hushed

Post-Chorus]

Bah humbug, la la la

Holiday fiend, la la la
