Well, there are five monsters in my family

And we all have a lot of fun

Two furry sisters, scary husband

Fuzzy wife and hairy son (that's me)

Oh five is such a scary number

I'm awfully glad that I've

Five monsters in my family

1, 2, 3, 4, 5



Yes, there are five monsters in my family

Make it six, counting Uncle Fred

And then there's Jerry, and Aunt Mary

Better make it eight instead (that's right)

Oh eight is such a scary number

But still I think it's great

With eight monsters in my family

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8



(Family dinners are really great.

We eat the food and then the plate.

Roses are red, violets are blue

So are Mommy and Daddy, too.)



Oh there are eight monsters in my family

Maybe I ought to count again

Because with Grandma and the baby

We have got it up to ten (you bet)

Oh ten is such a scary number

But still I have a yen

For those ten monsters in my family

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

Eleven?
