[SH]  If you should do

[MF]  Something wrong,

[BC]  You won’t stay here very long.

[SH]  We’ll be mean.

[MF]  We’ll be blunt.

[BC]  Make you feel like a runt.

[SH, MF, BC in turn]  ‘Cause we’re Grumble, Growl, and Grunt.

[SH]  If you should make

[BC]  Just one mistake,

[MF]  Why, we won’t give you the smallest break.

[SH]  And you’ll scream,

[BC]  And you’ll howl,

[MF]  And you’ll throw in the towel.

[SH, BC, MF in turn]  It’s Grumble, Grunt, and Growl.

[MF]  If you should happen to fail,

[BC]  We’ll toss you out

[SH]  On your tail.

[MF]  And you’ll run,

[BC]  And you’ll stumble,

[SH]  And you’ll feel very humble,

[MF, BC, SH in turn]  ‘Cause we’re Growl, Grunt, and Grumble.

[SH, BC, MF in turn]  We’re Grumble, Grunt, and Growl.

[SH, MF, BC]  And we’re Grumble, Growl, and Grunt.
