Eeeeeeh! Eeeeeeh!
The monsters yell around the house,
Their brothers and sisters send them out
And they yell some more outside around the house.


Five Little Monsters 

Original Author: Unknown

Five little monsters by the light of the moon
Stirring pudding with a wooden pudding spoon.
The first one says, “It mustn’t be runny.”
The second one says, “That would make it taste funny.”
The third one says, “It mustn’t be lumpy.”
The fourth one says, “That would make me grumpy.”
The fifth one smiles, hums a little tune,
And licks all the drippings from the wooden pudding spoon!


Horns and Fangs

What if he is in the closet. Better close it. Slam, slam, slam.
What if he is behind the curtains? Better open them. Swish, swish, swish.
What if he’s in the hallway? better tiptoe down it. Tiptoe, tiptoe.
What if he’s in the garage? Better stomp through it. Stomp. stomp, stomp.
Aahh! It’s a monster!
What’s that you say?
You’re big, but you’re friendly, and you want to go to bed?

Stomp through the garage,
Walk through the hallway,
Close the curtains,
Open the closet,
Jump into bed,
And turn out the lights! Click!
