Lyrics

Billy: Don't go changing just to please me 'Cause being friendly's not your style Mmm-hmm-hmm... Don't want to hear you Saying, "Thank you" (Oscar: I won't!) 'Cause I would hate to see you smile (Oscar: I never smile!) Just be grouchy, really grouchy You've done it pretty well so far (Oscar: Oh, a compliment! This is getting pretty sticky!) Mmm-hmm-hmm... I took the bad times; I'll take the worst times I'll take you just the way you are (Oscar: The way I am, huh? Hah! I'll change that!) (Oscar disappears into trash can, and Marlee looks surprised.) Don't go trying some new fashion (Oscar comes up wearing an orange wig.) (Oscar: How's this?) (Marlee runs her fingers through thе wig.) I wouldn't like you debonair Mmm-hmm-hmm... Just keep that can you stash your trash in Don't evеn try to comb your hair (Oscar takes off the wig.) (Oscar: Just get lost, huh?!) Don't try friendly conversation (Oscar: It wasn't friendly!) Don't change the oil in your car Mmm-hmm-hmm... We just want someone that we can't talk to We want you just the way you are (Oscar: Well, you can't have me! Ahhh!) (Oscar goes back down into his trash can for the second time, and Marlee looks surprised again.) I want to know that you will always be The same old Oscar that I knew (Oscar comes up wearing a disguise with the fake glasses and nose. Marlee jumps back.) (Oscar: Is this him?! Heh-heh!) Oh, please just keep on talking mean to me It makes me happy when you do (Oscar goes back down for a third time and comes up wearing an Indian-type mask.) I said I love you, and that's forever And this I promise from the heart (Oscar smacks his hand to his forehead exasperatingly.) Mmm-hmm-hmm... We couldn't love you any better (Oscar: This is the mushiest thing I ever heard!) We love you just the way you are (An instrumental solo where Marlee hugs Oscar.) (Oscar: What are you doing?! What's this?! HEY! Never hug a grouch! You're kissing me! Ahhh! Never do that to a grouch! Ugh!) (Music stops.) Oscar: You really know how to hurt a grouch!
