"Fah who for-aze dah who dor-aze" is basically pseudo Latin that just sounds good, it brings out that we are in Suess's world, for my heart grew 3 sizes larger that day.
From Suess.com, hope this isn't tantamonting to copyright crime.
Welcome Christmas (both versions)
Author: Dr. Seuss
This is the song sung by the Whos of Whoville on Christmas. The first version is probably more suited for simple caroling, and the second for more choir oriented activities. The first is sung while the Grinch watches from on high, and the second is at the end (maybe during the closing credits - I don't recall off-hand).
