[Verse 1: Tyler, The Creator & Choir]
You're a mean one
You really are a heel
You're as cuddly as a cactus
You're as charming as an eel
Mr. Grinch, you're a bad banana
(Mr. Grinch), with the greasy black peel
You're a vile one
You got termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile (Mr. Grinch)
You’re a foul one
Friends you don’t have none
I wouldn't touch you with a 39-and-a-half foot pole!
You're a monster
Your heart's an empty hole
You got garlic (You got garlic) in your soul
You got garlic in your soul

[Verse 2: Tyler, The Creator & Choir]
All them smiles homie
I turn 'em to frowns
All them decorations
I tear 'em down
You can ask Max, I don't play around
Ayo (Ew...)
Who is this mean fellow
With his skin all green and his teeth all yellow? (Ew...)
What you so mad for?
Halloween come around and we ain't knockin' at your door, mane

[Outro: Tyler, The Creator & Choir]
Mr. Grinch, you're a bad banana
You're gonna spoil everybody with your bad attitude
(Spoil everybody)
Mr. Grinch
La-la-la
Who is this mean fellow
With his skin all green and his teeth all yellow?
(La-la-la-la)
What you so mad for?
Halloween come around and we ain't knockin' at your door!
(La-la)
Bad banana

Tyler Gregory Okonma (born March 6, 1991), better known as Tyler, The Creator, is a rapper, singer, record producer, video director, stylist, TV writer and actor from California. He first received major recognition in the hip-hop community in the early 2010s as a founding member of the rap collective, Odd Future.

Known for his explosive personality and absurdist lyrical content, Tyler released his debut mixtape, Bastard in 2009. Subsequent releases were his debut studio album, Goblin, in 2011 under XL Recordings, Wolf in 2013 under Odd Future Records, Cherry Bomb in 2015, and released Flower Boy in 2017 under Columbia Records. In November 2018, he released Music Inspired by Illumination & Dr. Seuss' The Grinch, a 6-track EP inspired from his work with Illumination’s movie The Grinch. Most recently, in May 2019 he released IGOR, an album with a unique sound compared to his other work and was his first project to win a Grammy, as he took home the award for Best Rap Album. It also became his first project to top the Billboard 200.

He has also his own fashion brand called Golf Wang and has created two comedic television programs for the late-night programming block Adult the sketch series, Loiter Squad, and the animated show, The Jellies.
