Every evening as I lay down on my bed

All I want to do is rest my weary head

But I see things at the window, I hear things at the door

I pull up the sheets and I close my eyes

I don’t want to see no more

Now my doctor says I’ve got a family history

But there’s been monsters in my closet ever since I was three

They say I’m crazy, say I’m certified

But we’ll see who is laughing when they see I’m right

‘Cause there’s monsters in the closet

They come out late at night

I know that you can’t see them, but I’ve got the second sight

Monsters in the closet

They’re after you and me

And everyone could use a little sympathy

My nanny says it’s time to take my little yellow pill

But I slip it up underneath my tongue, I don’t feel the least bit ill

They say it keeps me from acting out against my will

But tell me if I don’t do it, then who else will?

‘Cause there’s monsters in the closet

They’re after you and me

These monsters in the closet they won’t let me be

Monsters in the closet

They come out late at night

And the monsters in the closet they just want one little bite
