Name: SCARY MONSTER
Duration: P00H02M22S
Description: My toddler son was scared to get in the bath. I asked him why and he said "There's a monster down the drain!" Old plumbing in the house had made the drains a bit noisy which his imagination convinced him was something sinister. But I got a good song out of it. He sat at my feet as I wrote it and giggled.

My toddler son was scared to get in the bath. I asked him why and he said "There's a monster down the drain!"

lyrics

DON’T PULL OUT THE PLUG, THERE’S A SCARY MONSTER DOWN THE DRAIN AND I’M REALLY SCARED, BECAUSE I KNOW HE’S THERE THE NOISE HE MAKES WHEN HE DRINKS FROM THE DRAIN HE DRINKS MY BATH WATER FROM THE DRAIN

DON’T TURN OUT THE LIGHT, THERE’S A SCARY MONSTER ON THE ROOF AND I CAN HEAR HIM STOMP, JUMPING WITH A THUMP MUM SAYS THERE’S A POSSUM ON THE ROOF A SCARY MONSTER POSSUM ON MY ROOF

SCARY MONSTER GROWLING DOWN THE DRAIN BUT I AM NOT SCARED, I AM NOT SCARED SCARY MONSTER, RUNNING ACROSS MY ROOF BUT I AM NOT SCARED, I AM NOT SCARED

DON’T GO OUTSIDE, THERE’S A SCARY MONSTER IN THE YARD AND THERE’S MORE THAN ONE, SO I HIDE BEHIND MY MUM AS SHE SHOOS THE CATS FIGHTING IN THE YARD SCARY MONSTER CATS IN MY YARD

AND NOW I’M REALLY BRAVE, THERE’S NO SCARY MONSTERS ANYWHERE JUST WATER DOWN THE DRAIN, NOISY POSSUMS ARE A PAIN MUM SAYS THERE’S NO MONSTERS ANYWHERE BUT LEAVE MY LIGHT ON JUST IN CASE HE’S THERE
