00:02:12 NARRATOR: Every Who down in Who-ville liked Christmas a lot.
00:02:46 ...may have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
00:03:21 He snarled with a sneer.
00:04:04 And they'll shriek squeaks and squeals, racing round on their wheels.
00:04:44 And they'll play noisy games like Zoo Zitta Ka Zay...
00:05:33 Oh, roast beast is a feast I can't stand in the least.
00:07:10 NARRATOR: And the more the Grinch thought of this Who-Christmas sing...
00:07:49 GRINCH: I know just what to do.

00:10:29 [YELPS]
00:12:34 Then he slid down the chimney. A rather tight pinch.
00:13:00 Then he slithered and slunk with a smile most unpleasant...
00:15:05 Then he slunk to the icebox. He took the Whos' feast.

00:24:06 He brought back their snoof and their tringlers and fuzzels.
