 * Kermit's Green Keen Apple as Oscar the Grouch

Lyrics
Kermit's Green Keen Apple: I can't think of anything that's dumber To a grouch, Christmas is a bummer! Beaming faces everywhere, happiness is in the air I'm telling you, it isn't fair! I hate Christmas! People loaded with good will, giving presents, what a thrill That slushy nonsense makes me ill I hate Christmas! I'd rather have a holiday like normal grouches do Instead of getting presents, they take presents back from you Heh heh

Here comes Santa, girls and boys So, who needs that big red noise! I'll tell him where to put his toys I hate Christmas! (spoken): And if you want the truth, I ain't so crazy about Thanksgiving or Labor Day either! Christmas carols to be sung, decorations to be hung Oh, yeah? Well, I stick out my tongue! I hate Christmas! Christmas bells play loud and strong Hurts my ears, all that ding dong Besides it goes on much too long I hate Christmas! I'd rather have a holiday with a lot less joy and flash With a lot less cheerful smiling, and a lot more dirty trash, yeah!

Christmas Day is almost here When it's over, then I cheer I'm glad it's only once a year I hate Christmas!
