Monsters in the Bathroom

I was just a kid I never will forget I woke up late one night I lay there in my bed My family was aslumberin No one was around I was almost back asleep When I thought I heard a sound A creak upon the staircase I could plainly hear Something there was moving It filled my heart with fear It couldn't be my mother It couldn't be my dad My brother John slept next to me He's the only one I had And I thought... Hm... There's monsters in the bathroom Monsters in the hall Monsters in the closet Hanging from the wall I thought "They'll come and eat my parents, and I'll be all alone Then they'll nibble on my toes, right down to the bone." I pulled the covers o'er my head My knees began to shake My mind said just go back to sleep But my body stayed awake. I thought of all the monsters in movies that I'd seen They'd all been pretty scary They'd all been pretty mean. I tried to calm myself down There's nothing there, I said There's no monsters on the stairs, they're only in your head There's nothing to be afraid of There's nothing there at all And I had just convinced myself when I heard it in the hall. Monsters in the bathroom Monsters in the hall Monsters in the closet Hanging from the wall I thought, they'll come and eat my parents I'll be all alone Then they'll nibble on my toes Right down to the bone I could hear the monster breathing I could hear the monster sigh The monster stood right over me I kissed the world goodbye And then the lights came on and I screamed out I'M DEAD! But The monster was my mother And this is what she said I was having a midnight snack when I thought I heard you call I came up the stairs, I tiptoed down the hall. When I was just a kid like you I'd wake up in the night Hear a creak, begin to freak til my dad turned on the lights I thought there were monsters in the bathroom Monsters in the hall Monsters in the closet Hanging from the wall I thought they'd come and eat my parents, and I'd be all alone Then they'd nibble on my toes Right down to the bones. And I said, phew Mom... pft. That's just plain stupid I never get afraid You must have been a chicken, and not been very brave Don't you worry about me I'll always be alright But my brother John He hates the dark, so please leave on the light. He says There's monsters in the bathroom Monsters in the hall Monsters in the closet Hanging from the wall He says they'll come and eat our parents And we'll be all alone Then they'll nibble on our toes Right Down To The bone.
