Lyrics[]

Grumpy Mr. Grumpy. He's so very grumpy.
Throwing things around and stamping on the ground.
He's got such a temper, this you must remember.
Scowling and thumping and grunting and snapping at everyone.

Pushing, shoving, snapping, grunting,
Stamping, banging all day long!
Scaring, frightening, temper flying!
Causing trouble with everyone!

He's got such a temper, nature doesn't enter.
Moaning all the way, and grumpy all the day.
Shouting out and grunting, scaring snapping thumping.
He's such a horrible person just snapping at everyone!

Pushing, shoving, snapping, grunting,
Stamping, banging all day long!
Scaring, frightening, temper flying!
Causing trouble with everyone!

Grumpy Mr. Grumpy. He's so very grumpy.
Throwing things around and stamping on the ground.
He's got such a temper, this you must remember.
Scowling and thumping and grunting and snapping at everyone.

Pushing, shoving, snapping, grunting,
Stamping, banging all day long!
Scaring, frightening, temper flying!
Causing trouble with everyone!

(Spoken) Grumpy by name and grumpy by nature!
Bad tempered and grouchy all day long!
Snapping, grunting, pushing, shoving!
Everything is always wrong!

Pushing, shoving, snapping, grunting,
Stamping, banging all day long!
Scaring, frightening, temper flying!
Causing trouble with everyone!

He's such a horrible person just snapping at everyone!
