Some kids just love to play with dolls
Or 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 of 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's not pretend
Oh, 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'd be the best that a friend could be
I'd let him do whatever he wants to
And he'd always Belong to me
So, if you know a Nice old monster
If you've a monster To recommend
Ooh, golly gee
Please send him to me
I just can't wait until then
I want a monster; a real live monster
I want a monster; send me my monster, yeah
I want a monster; a real live monster
I want a monster; send my monster
I want a monster; a real live monster
I want a monster to be my friend!
Oh, please
Send my monster
Does anybody have a monster out there?
I'll take a secondhand monster
He doesn't have to be new
Or 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 of 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's not pretend
Oh, 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'd be the best that a friend could be
I'd let him do whatever he wants to
And he'd always Belong to me
So, if you know a Nice old monster
If you've a monster To recommend
Ooh, golly gee
Please send him to me
I just can't wait until then
I want a monster; a real live monster
I want a monster; send me my monster, yeah
I want a monster; a real live monster
I want a monster; send my monster
I want a monster; a real live monster

Oh, please
