Sleep with the door wide open
Clutching the blanket tight
Monsters are always creeping the hallways
Safe from the curse of light
Please monsters please
I beg you to leave, oh why would you stay
Some monsters are good
Well they really should keep bad ones away
Versed in the art of hiding
Keeping your foes in sight
Down in the basement, time goes a wastin'
Easy to say you're right
Please children please
Get up off your knees, get into the way
Some folks yell and scream
But that doesn't mean that you must obey
Deep in the distance
They're putting up resistance
Oh well, better take it when it comes along
Please honey please
Oh why would you leave, I beg you to stay
Some monsters are bad
But it makes me sad you see me that way
