Off Light (monster under my bed)
When the light’s off
I start to wonder
Are there monsters looking at me?
Hiding in places I can’t see
Under my mattress or…
Under my bed
I pull the covers up over my head
Cause there’s one little thing that all us kids know
Under covers is a place that monsters can’t go
