Be kind to your neighborhood monsters
for they are not as scary as they seem

if you see one scaddeling
down the lane or paddeling
up the stream
don't screem

for a monster could be somebody's mommy
and their feelings aren't exactly made of wood
so offer one a piece of your salami
be kind to the monsters in your neighborhood

(hmmmmm hum hmm hmm hum)
daring and brave
(la la la and something) monsters
never misbehave
or hardly ever

loving and loyal
true to the end
hairy, but Not scarry monsters
want to be your friend

for a monster could be somebody's mommy
and their feelings aren't exactly made of wood
so offer one a piece of your salami
be kind to the monsters in you neighborhood

be kind
to the monsters
in your
neigh-
bor-
hood
