(mmm-hmm) Up on the mountain where the north wind blows cold
Lived a bitter old soul,
or so we've been told
He hated the tinsel,
the bells, and the noise
And the laughter of all of the girls and the boys
He sat in his cabin
and swore at the snow
But then something shifted in the valley below
A sweet simple song
floated up through the pine
And it thawed out his heart for the very first time
Oh, the Grinch has a smile on his face
There's a warmth in his cold,
lonely place
He's singing the carols,
he's holding the light
Even the mountain is shining tonight
He packed up his sleigh
with a mountain of toys
To bring back the magic,
the hope, and the joys
No longer a shadow,
no longer alone
He found him a family,
he found him a home
Oh, the Grinch has a smile on his face
There's a warmth in his cold,
lonely place
He's singing the carols,
he's holding the light
Even the mountain is shining tonight (woo-hoo)
He's singing the carols,
he's holding the light
(yeah) Even the mountain
is shining tonight
(merry christmas)
