lyrics

take a hold of my hand
'cause it's alright, it's alright you know, baby
if you're scared of them
just turn out the light, just turn out the light
and hop into bed
pull the covers and sheets up over your head
and fall asleep
start to dream, don't ever think of this again

no!
it's alright, it's alright so
you can go back to sleep again
whoa!
it's alright, it's alright so
you can go back to sleep again

from a hole in the mattress, i'll pull out a gun
that i have for when bad things like this happen
reach under the bed with my bare hands
pull out something dead and disgusting
slimy and ugly, been under there for at least three weeks
t-t-t-trying to scare me
so i shot it
i killed it
a smelly smell comes from the smelly basement
i think it's from the body of monster number eight-teen
i shot it, i shot it, i shot it
bang! bang! bang!

no!
it's alright, it's alright so
you can go back to sleep again
whoa!
it's alright, it's alright so
you can go back to sleep again
