There are monsters that are hairy
and monsters that are green.
There are monsters that are scary
and some that are so mean.

Some of them are very large
others are quite small.
Some have arms that are really long
and some that like to crawl.

There are monsters that hide under beds
and try to grab your legs.
There are monsters that hide in closets
that pull your hair instead.

Some like to come into our dreams
and scare us half to death.
Showing us their horrible teeth,
smelling their bad breath.

Don't let them get inside your head
when you start to dream.
Cause if you do the monsters there,
will really make you scream.

The monsters they all go away,
when the morning comes.
The monsters know that in the day
we will not surcome.

In the daytime we are safe
until the darkness falls.
Then the monsters reappear
and creep behind our walls.

So when you go to sleep at night
and go into your bed.
Make sure you leave the light on,
so they keep out of your head

The light will keep you safe from harm
all shimmering nice and bright.
With little stars around it,
glowing in the night.

They like the darkness best you see
and they will stay away.
The light will send them packing
and they won't come out to play.
