The Grouch Anthem Lyrics
[Announcer: Spoken]
Ladies and gentlemen, would you please rise for the Grouch Anthem
[Oscar: Spoken]
No, no, no. With the Grouch Anthem, you stay sitting down. Down in front there! Now brace yourself, I'm gonna sing:
[Oscar: Sung]
Grouches of the world unite!
Stand up for your grouchly rights!
Don't let the sunshine spoil the rain
Just stand up and complain (heheheh)
Let this be the grouches' cause:
Point out everybody's flaws!
Something is wrong with everything
Except the way I sing!
[Oscar: Spoken]
You know what's right with this world? Nothin'!
You know what gets me hot under the collar? You name it!
And the next time some goody-two-shoes smiles and tells you to have a nice day, just remember:
[Oscar: Sung]
Don't let the sunshine spoil the rain
Just stand up and complain!
Just stand up and complain!
