Announcer

[First lines]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, would you please rise for the Grouch Anthem.

Oscar the Grouch

No, no, no! With the Grouch Anthem, you stay sitting down! Down in front there! Now brace yourself, I'm gonna sing: Grouches of the world unite! Stand up for your grouchly rights! Don't let the sunshine spoil the rain just stand up and complain. Let this be the grouches' cause: Point out everybody's flaws! Something is wrong with everything Except the way I sing!

Oscar the Grouch

[Cue Grouch Choir humming in the background]

You know what's right with this world? Nutting! You know what gets me hot under the collar? You name it! And the next time some goody-two-shoes smiles and tells you to have a nice day, just remember:

Oscar the Grouch and the Grouch Choir

Don't let the sunshine spoil the rain, just stand up and complain! Just stand up and complain!

Oscar the Grouch

Well, anyway you've seen the best part of this movie, So sit back, relax, and have a rotten time. Heh Heh Heh.

In this scene

A Announcer Shawna Stoll
