The Grouch Anthem Lyrics - Sesame Street

Announcer: Please rise for the Grouch Anthem. 

Oscar: No, no, no. For the Grouch Anthem, you stay sitting down. Down in front there! Now brace yourself, I'm gonna sing: 

Grouches of the world unite! 

Stand up for your grouchly rights! 

Don't let the sunshine spoil the rain 

Just stand up and complain (heheheh) 

Let this be the grouches' cause: 

Point out everybody's flaws! 

Something is wrong with everything 

Except the way I sing! 

(Cue Grouch Choir ooing in the background) 

Spoken: 

You know what's right with this world? Nuttin! 

You know what gets me hot under the collar? You name it! 

And the next time some goody-two-shoes smiles and tells you to have a nice day, just remember: 

Sung: 

Don't let the sunshine spoil the rain, 

Just stand up and complain! 

Just stand up and complain!
