I Want a Monster to Be My Friend lyrics

Some kids just love to play with dolls

And put on funny hats

And some make pets of birds and fish

And dogs and alley cats

That's not the way I like to play

I'm tired of all these

I need a very special friend

Won't you help me please?

I want a monster to be my playmate

I want a monster to be my friend

I want to get for my own pet

A real live monster who is not pretend

I want a monster to be my playmate

We'd soon become good friends because

Although they're hairy and sometimes scary

They have such soft and furry paws

If I make friends with a friendly monster

I'll let him bounce me on his knee

I'll let him do whatever he wants ta

Especially if he's bigger than me

So, if you know a nice old monster

If you've a monster to recommend

Well, golly gee, send him to me

I just can't wait until then!

I want a monster, a real live monster

I want a monster to be my friend

To be my friend
