Every *Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot.

But the Grinch who living/lived just North of Whoville do/did not!
The Grinch hating/hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!

Now, please don't ask why. No one quite/very knows the reason.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were/was too tight.

It could be his/he head wasn't screwed on just right.
But I think that the most likely reason of all

May have been/being that his heart was two sizes too small.
But, whatever the reason, his heart or his shoes,

Staring down from his cave with a sour, Grinchy frown

At the warm lighted/lighting windows below in their town,
For he knew every/all Who down in Whoville beneath

Will be/Was busy now hanging a hollywho wreath.
"And they're hung/hanging their stockings," he snarled with a sneer.

"Tomorrow is Christmas! It's practically here!"
Then he growled, with his Grinch fingers nervously drumming/drummed,

"I must find some way to keep Christmas from come/coming!
For, tomorrow, I know all/every the Who girls and boys

Will wake bright and early. They’ve/They'll rush for their toys!
And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the noise! Noise! Noise! Noise!
There's one thing I hated/hate! All the NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! NOISE!
They'll stand close together, with Christmas bells ringing/rang.

They'll stand hand-in-hand, and those Whos will start singing/sang!"
Fahoo forays, dahoo dorays

Welcome Christmas! Came/Come this way
Fahoo forays, dahoo dorays
Welcome Christmas, Christmas Day
Exercise 2 Welcome, welcome, fahoo ramus
Welcome, welcome, dahoo damus
Christmas Day is in our grasp
So long as we have hands to clasp
Fahoo forays, dahoo dorays...
