Five Scary Monsters

Five scary monsters howling out a roar, 
One ran away, and then there were four. 
Four scary monsters hiding in a tree, 
One fell out, and then there were three. 
Three scary monsters eating spider stew, 
One got sick, and then there were two. 
Two scary monsters having lots of fun, 
One ran off, and then there was one. 
One scary monster, afraid to be a hero, 
He ran away, and then there were zero.

One Little Monster

One little monster, one little monster

One little monster ROAR, ROAR, ROAR

This little monster called for a friend

Now there is one monster more.

Continue with two, three, and four monsters, then sing final verse.

Five little monsters, five little monsters

Five little monsters ROAR, ROAR, ROAR

These little monsters went home to bed.

No more monsters anymore!
