   E                              B 
I know a monster by the name of Terry 
                                       E 
He's twice my size and seven times as hairy 
          C                               Dbm 
Though he may look sorta tough, Terry's anything but rough 
        Bbm                            B 
For his best friend is his purple pet canary 

Verse 

E                                 B 
I know a monster by the name of Billy Bob 
                                           E 
He used to cry an awful lot, I mean he'd really sob 
          C                                Dbm 
I said, "Why you cryin' Bill?" He said, "I haven't got a friend." 
              Bbm                           B 
And I said, "Billy don't be silly man I'll take the job!"

I know a monster by the name of Kate 
B                            E 
We are partners when we ice skate 
         C                          Dbm 
And whenever I get blue, she's the monster I talk to

Having friends to cheer me up is awfully great

We get together every day just to sing and dance and play 
        Bbm                             B 
And so, to her, we will dedicate this Chorus
