The Grinch's Redemption

A lonesome Grinch in cowboy boots, whose heart was two times small Had no love for holiday cheer, no festive mirth at all Hey y'all Hey [Verse 2] Hey there, Whoville folks, spreading yuletide joy Grinch is creeping close and all your gifts he aims to spoil [Verse 3] With his old dog Max, through the snow they tread Intent on taking Christmas, turning joy to dread Over hills of Whoville, neath the sparkling stars Planning to steal trees, and every lighted jar [Chorus] The Grinch in boots, with a scowl across his face Aimed to leave the town without a single trace Down to the village, with a sack on his back Tip-toeing silent not a single click-clack Hey now Hey [Verse 4] He slithered 'round homes, with the greatest of care Filling his sack up with the town's love and flair [Verse 5] But Whoville was warm, their hearts full of light And their songs of pure joy reached the cold, bitter night [Chorus] Oh the Grinch heard their tunes, felt a twitch in his soul The spirit of Christmas began to take hold [Verse 6] With each stolen gift, felt heavier his load Could he find redemption on this treacherous road? [Verse 7] Down in ol' Whoville, the feast was prepared Grinch watched from his mountain, how they laughed and they shared [Verse 8] He saw the small Whos, with their bright, beaming eyes And he felt a warm flutter, to his own surprise [Chorus] The Grinch with his boots, on that snowy peaks' crest Began to feel love thump loud in his chest [Verse 9] The Grinch's heart swelled, couldn't contain the love's burst From two times too small, to where it thought it would burst Hey now Hey [Verse 10] He rode down to Whoville, with Max by his side Returning their treasures, no more did he hide [Verse 11] The people, astonished, they couldn't believe The Grinch stood 'mongst them, on that Christmas Eve [Verse 12] He brought back the joy, he brought back the cheer In a town he once loathed, now held dear [Chorus] From Grinch to a friend, in the light of the tree A change in his heart, as big as can be
