No such thing
No such thing as monsters
I’m absolutely sure
As is Mrs Werewolf
Who rents the house next door
No such thing as monsters
A scientific fact
I have it writ in blood
Sincerely signed Count Drac
No such thing as monsters
My sources can’t be wrong
I heard it from a friend
Of a friend of King Kong
No such thing as monsters
The neighbours all agree
Dr Jeckle, Mr Hyde,
The Frankensteins and me
No such thing as monsters
And really I should know
Mummy unwrapped herself
Just now to tell me so!
