THE MONSTER IN THE CLOSET

One night last week as I was falling asleep
My closet door was open and I took a peek inside
These wide eyes were staring at me
It was the strangest thing I'd ever seen

So I pulled the covers up way over my head
And lay as still as a statue, in my bed
I figured maybe she'd split if she didn't see me anymore
That's when I heard the screeching of the closet door

Then I lifted my head up from under the sheet
And realized that the screeching was a cat in the street
But my heart was still thumping right out of my chest
Cause you'll never believe it but the monster was dressed

Just like me, in pajamas of green!
It was the craziest sight I'd ever seen
I guess the monster's mommy shops in the same store as mine
But do monsters wear clothes all the time?

The monster in the closet was looking at me
The monster in the closet was looking at me
The monster in the closet
The monster in the closet
The monster in the closet was looking at me

These were the questions that were spinning around in my head
And then I noticed the monster lying down in a bed
I thought: how could that be? Do monsters sleep like me?
What other similarities could there be?

And then I felt my eyes popping right out of their sockets
When I noticed that the monster inside of the closet
Was holding on tight to a little white bunny
I started to laugh, tho it was far from funny

I thought: how could she have the same bunny as me?
This madness had to stop at the count of three
So i said: "ONE TWO THREE, monster, disappear!"
And I said it again, just to be perfectly clear

That's when I nearly jumped right outta my pajamas
Someone knocked on the door, but it was only my momma
"What's all the racket? you're s'posed to be asleep"
I said "It's ok, momma" but I wanted to weep

The monster in the closet was looking at me
The monster in the closet was looking at me
The monster in the closet
The monster in the closet
The monster in the closet was looking at me

It was getting very late, I really needed to sleep
So I closed my eyes and started counting sheep
But that didn't work, it was only a distraction
I knew in my heart I had to take some action

What I needed to do, was shut that closet door
at least then I wouldn't see the monster anymore
So I climbed outta bed with my eyes shut tight
and started moving towards the closet, with all my might

Then I looked down at my feet, and saw my yellow bat
I thought: I could use the bat to shut the door like that
So I crept a little closer, pried opened my eyes
Started swinging the bat, and to my surprise

The monster had a bat and she was swinging' too!
I was swinging, she was swinging
I was swinging, she was swinging
I was swinging, she was swinging- wait, could it be true?
I feel like a fool…
but here's my confession...
I had a mirror in my closet, it was only my reflection...

wha?
oops.
uh-oh...

The Monster in the closet was actually me
The Monster in the closet was actually me
The monster in the closet
The monster in the closet
The monster in the closet was actually me
