The Grinch Rae Of Christmas
All the SWers in Swville were busy with plans and with reasons
While the Grinchrae hated the whole bloody season
We all know the reason
It must be that her head isn't feeling all right
It must be, she cries all through the night
But it's believed the most likely reason of all
Is that her large heart has shrunk 3 sizes too small
With all of these reasons, it isn't clear when grief will be through
She is sitting here at Christmas time, feeling blue
Thinking about all the changes with a smirk and a frown
Not wanting to participate in Christmas all around
For she knew the whole world, or most of it, would
Be busy with Christmas time, as most think we should
I'm not happy or jolly she thought with a sneer
And it is so close to Christmas it's practically here
Then she growled with all the thoughts she was thinking
Just let me be and feel what I am feeling
Soon, my granddaughters will no longer be small
So on Christmas Day, I must tolerate it all
How I hate the joyous noise, noise, noise
Noise! Noise! Noise!
When my shrunken heart is still bleeding inside
Noise! Noise! Noise!
And then we will sit and have our feast
Though our hearts feel as leadened as our feet
Who wants to feast feast feast?
It will stick in our throats as we try to eat the darn stuff
We cannot ignore that you are not among us
It is the worst of what the Grinchrae can't stand
The loss of looking forward to you in all of our plans
Still, all the swvillage who's go on with their plans
It is not their fault that they cannot understand
So they'll all be merry, and that is the way
The Grinchrae cannot change that in any way
People must be free to
Sing! Sing! Sing!
and Sing! Sing! Sing!
And the more Grinchrae thought of this whole irrational now
The more miserable she felt for not following the crowd
It's only been 6 months, she did howl
People want me to be happy, but how?
Then the Grinchrae got an idea, an idiotic idea
The Grinchrae got an awfully idiotic idea
I'll just retreat, and I will never come out! The Grinchrae did pout
I'll stay locked in my bedroom, and I will never come out
And she brooded and brooded until her head ached
And she looked just like a fright, and nothing was right
As she made herself scarce, her old face wore a frown
Barrricading herself, never going into the town
The Grinchrae started to sniffle and then blew her nose
This was no way to live, we must try even when we do not know how
So she left the house with her purse in her fist
And got a gift for each one on her list
And when the day came, and it was now time to eat
The Grinchrae herself took the first seat
