Christmas Song II (grinch)

**Christmas Song II (grinch)** is a song by Grimes and rapper Jay Worthy.

## Background

For Christmas 2014, Grimes and her step-brother - rapper Jay Worthy got together along with their families not only to celebrate Christmas, but to also hastily create a 'Christmas song' that acts as a sequel of the Christmas song that is a bonus track for the *Visions* album.

Grimes said this about the whole thing:

>
> ❝ first off this song contains swearing so it might not be all ages
>
>
> Anyway – i like to periodically release songs since my album is taking so long and i make a lot of songs that i wouldn’t put on an album but i nonetheless enjoy so thats what this is. me and my step bro jay worthy make an annual christmas song with our siblings in order to avoid obligatory dinner. this is NOT a single from the upcoming album, not a serious piece of art in any capacity and not an official grimes release
>
>
>  also —made this song in prob less than 2 hours so please excuse my terrible production, + it is not mixed or mastered. ❞

## Trivia

* Most of the beat and instruments are sampled from Vince Guaraldi Trio's song *Christmas Is Coming.*
* The bridge in the song is one of Amy Pascal’s leaked emails/freeform poetry from the Sony leak.
* Chorus' lyric *all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse* was taken from the poem *Twas the Night Before Christmas* by Clement Clarke Moore.
* There might be more Christmas songs made by Grimes and her brothers along with Christmas Song, as this song was described by Grimes as an annual Christmas song, implying that there were more songs made over the years.*[speculated]*

## Lyrics

[Intro][Grimes]

Jay Worthy on the mic!

Jay Worthy on the mic!

[Verse 1][Jay Worthy]

Ain't not with the henny

And my red house shoes

In my hotel robe

Like it's Home Alone two

Catch me running round the lobby

Me and Grimes acting fool

Getting low watch me pour

The whole four in the two

With the homies uptown

Posting [?] the two fifth

Claim the fat belly

Looking like I'm Saint Nick

way across from Saint Nick's

Know I'm good everywhere

I on some real shit

But let's keep it litty

You don't want no politics

Turned up with the homies

Like we all gone trip

LA in the morning

Can't miss that flight

I'm a turn around bitch

I'll be back that night

Past still sagging like butt

(?)

cause I got my monеy up

[Chorus 1][Grimes]

It's motherfucking Christmas

And all through the house

Not a creature was stirring

Not even a mouse

I'm the Grinch!

I'm the Grinch, motherfucker!

I'm the Grinch!

I'm the Grinch, motherfucker!

[verse 2][James Brooks]

No lemons in the field

Mangos in the sun

Ice on the hose

Christmas is no fun

Presents under the tree

Chest killing sprees

Kings, queens, pawns on the board

Bishops unite, rooks on the horde

Autumn, winter

Can't wait till spring

Where gardens are growing

Give me the greens

Kale, spinach, ginger and cloves

All we get is fucking mistletoe

Fucking mistletoe

Fucking mistletoe

Fucking mistletoe

Fucking...

[Chorus 2][Grimes]

It's mother fucking Christmas

And all thought the house

Not a creature was stirring

Not even a mouse

I'm the Grinch!

I'm the Grinch, motherfucker!

I'm the Grinch!

I'm the Grinch, motherfucker!

[Bridge][James Brooks]

Scores same as last time and way, way worse in NY

It's a wrap - there is no more to do

Cameron never really changed anything

People don't like people in movies who flirt with married people

The satellite makes no sense

The gate makes no sense

I'm never starting a movie again when the script is ridiculous, and we all know it

I don't care how much I love the director and the actors, it never, not even once, ever (works)

[Outro][Grimes]

I'm the Grinch

I'm the Grinch

I'm the Grinch

I'm the Grinch
