Be kind to your neighborhood monsters

for they are not as scary as they seem



if you see one scaddeling

down the lane or paddeling

up the stream

don't screem



for a monster could be somebody's mommy

and their feelings aren't exactly made of wood

so offer one a piece of your salami

be kind to the monsters in your neighborhood



(hmmmmm hum hmm hmm hum)

daring and brave

(la la la and something) monsters

never misbehave

or hardly ever



loving and loyal

true to the end

hairy, but Not scarry monsters

want to be your friend



for a monster could be somebody's mommy

and their feelings aren't exactly made of wood

so offer one a piece of your salami

be kind to the monsters in you neighborhood



be kind

to the monsters

in your

neigh-

bor-

hood
