Sleeping With a Monster

I rolled over and what do I see
Your monster face staring back at me
But that's not what scares me to death
It might be that foul monster breath

I don't know what I'm gonna do
Now that I've promised to marry you
Suddenly now I realize
You have buggy bloodshot monster eyes

I look over and say good grief
I see you smacking your monster teeth
But what I really dread
Is you're eating crackers in our bed

You're not that bad as far as a monster goes
I've seen uglier creatures Heaven knows
Even with your sweaty warty face
And your drooling all over the place

If you want his romance to prevail
You've got to watch where you are sticking that tail
And please always remember honey
My love for you has nothing to do with your money
