I Want A Monster To Be My Friend Lyrics - Elmopalooza! - Sesame Street

Some kids just love 

To play with dolls 

Or put on funny hats 

And some make pets 

Of birds and fish 

And dogs and 

Alley cats 

That's not the way 

I like to play 

I'm tired of all these 

I need a very 

Special friend 

Won't you 

Help me please? 

I want a monster 

To be my playmate 

I want a monster 

To be my friend 

I want to get 

For my own pet 

A real live monster 

Who's not pretend 

Oh, I want a monster 

To be my playmate 

We'd soon become 

Good friends because 

Although they're hairy 

And sometimes scary 

They have such soft 

And furry paws 

If I make friends with 

A friendly monster 

I'd be the best that a 

friend could be 

I'd let him do 

Whatever he wants to 

And he'd always 

Belong to me 

So, if you know a 

Nice old monster 

If you've a monster 

To recommend 

Ooh, golly gee 

Please send him to me 

I just can't wait 

Until then! 

I want a monster 

A real live monster 

I want a monster 

Send me my monster 

I want a monster 

A real live monster 

I want a monster 

Send my monster 

I want a monster 

A real live monster 

I want a monster 

To be my friend! 

Oh please 

Send my monster 

Does anybody have 

A monster out there 

I'll take a 

Secondhand monster 

He doesn't have 

To be new
