There’s a Monster Locked inside Me
There’s a monster locked inside me
And sometimes he gets out
Often the monster SCREAMS!
Often the monster SHOUTS!
He won't do what he's told to do
He throws and breaks his toys
Frequently he terrorises other girls and boys
There’s a monster locked inside me
Bad-tempered, mean and mad
He snarls and growls at adults too
(Especially Mum and Dad)
The monster follows me to school
Scares children and the teachers
Disrupting classes, flouting rules
A most unpleasant creature
There’s a monster locked inside me
Who's been known to wear my clothes
They say the monster follows me
Everywhere I go
Last week he hit my little sister
SMACK!
Upon her nose
There’s a monster locked inside me
Stuffed my sweets into his belly
Next he was sent up to my room
And banned from watching telly
He spoke throughout assembly
He stole my friend's football
Though everyone sees him about
I’ve not seen him at all
Yes, there’s a monster locked inside me
Who escapes when I’m not around
Leaves trails of mass destruction
Then disappears without a sound
He will return tomorrow
As his evil deeds aren't done
He really is a horrid, naughty, nasty, troublesome, devilish little monster
So if you see him (or me)...RUN!
