I KNEW I COULDN'T STAY (RUINING HOLIDAYS)- ORIGINAL SONG

A Grinchless Anthem

[Verse 1]

I knew I couldn’t stay

When you started ruining holidays

Noël to Labor Day

Flag to damn Turkey Day

I planned my getaway

When you started ruining holidays

Solo beach, no shade

Sippin' drinks in Saint-Tropez

[Verse 2]

MLK you quoted wrong

Made it weird, then sang a song

Left my birthday in a huff

Valentine’s brought thorny stuff

[Verse 3]

St. Paddy’s, you drank too much

Flashed some kids when your kilt flew up

Told the pub my hair was fake

Blackout breakup by the lake

[Verse 4]

April Fool’s was all too real

Faked a ring, then skipped the meal

Taped a “kick me” to my back

Filmed it all — for likes and laughs

[Verse 5]

Ruined brunch on Easter morn

Tore the baskets, snapped the corn

Then you picked a fight with Mom

Claimed the ham tasted “all wrong”

[Verse 6]

Mother’s Day — forgot again

Father’s Day? Why pretend?

July 4th, you lit the fuse

Blew up fireworks — and my shoes

[Verse 7]

Dressed as me, said “Witches rule!”

Puked tequila in the pool

Trick or treat? Just tricks and booze

You lost my broom and both my shoes

[Verse 8]

Served the turkey with some tears

Spilled Rosé for five straight years

Thanksgiving grace turned into war

Dropped the pie, then blamed the floor

[Verse 9]

Yule Log lit just to ignite

Unwrapped a tantrum Christmas night

Eggnog fights and sleigh bell lies

Drama served with pumpkin pie

[Chorus]

You put the ugh in jingle bells

New Year’s toasts with warning bells

Santa, send him far from me

Down the chimney, straight to sea

I’ve unwrapped the ugly truth—

That lump is all you need as proof

So, hey, baby by the way…

you’re done ruining holidays

[Verse 10]

Argued under mistletoe

Stormed out mid-Super Bowl

Decked the halls with my last nerve

Poured the wine—he didn't deserve

Now I’ll light my tree alone

Ring in New Year on my own

New traditions, none for you

Wrapped my peace in glitter glue

[Outro]

So Scrooge, I’m taking every day

From Cupid to Election Day

So ho-ho-go pack your stuff—

One Grinch per Christmas is enough So ho-ho-go pack your stuff—

One Grinch per Christmas is enough

(Spoken, over fading music)

“And to all a good… leave me alone!”
