Standard (EADGBE)

Monster in your couch cushions

Eatin' up all of your change

You're afraid of the bathtub,

'Cause there are monsters in the drain

Tiptoe down the hallway

'Cause monsters live in the floor

You dive right under those warm, warm covers

'Cause there are monsters right behind the closet door

Chorus

Your afraid that monsters

Are gonna jump out and attack

If they do,

You know that I got your back

But I’ll tell you this much is true

Monsters have better things to do x4

Verse #2

You find yourself...

Runnin' up from the basement

So monsters don't nibble your toes

You wear a scarf to the garage

So the monster dudn't steal your nose

You never venture up in the attic

That's where the bats hang upside down

Chills are runnin down your spine

And you'll jump up high at the slightest sound

Chorus

Bridge

They won't mess with you

There's not a ghost of chance

Monsters would rather go out and dance

Live it up while the moon is full

Maybe even take a swim in your pool

You're freaked out, but it's all groovy

All the monsters are out at the movies

Monsters have better things to do

Monsters have better things to do

Monsters have better things to do

And it's alright

Monsters have better things to do

Than keep you up at night

Monsters have better things to do
