Monster in the Closet

There’s a monster in the closet,
And he’s gonna get me.
There’s a monster in the closet,
But I really have to pee.
There’s a monster in the closet,
With razor sharp claws.
There’s a monster in the closet,
With a fang-filled jaw.
There’s a monster in the closet,
I think I heard it growl.
There’s a monster in the closet,
And I know I’ve seen it prowl.
There’s a monster in the closet,
Do I dare take a look?
There’s a monster in the closet,
The handle just shook!
There’s a monster in the closet,
But mom says I’m wrong.
There’s a monster in the closet,
But I suppose it could be gone.
Is there a monster in the closet?
I swing the door open wide.
Is there a monster in the closet?
And take a look inside.
There’s no monster in the closet,
But why this feeling of dread?
There’s no monster in the closet,
Because it was under my bed!
