There's a nasty monster lurking, underneath my bed,
He's got bright green hair and I'm sure his name is Fred.
He waits till I'm sleeping, in the middle of the night;
Then he yells in my ear and gives me a such fright.
He has blood-red eyes, that really glow in the dark
and horrible yellow teeth, that could bite like a shark.
His claws are steely silver and sharp as a razor
and he likes ripping holes in my new school blazer.
Mum and Dad don't believe me, when I tell them of Fred;
They say I'm telling fibs and send me off to bed.
But I know that he's real, when he tries to eat my toes
and messes up my room, by throwing all my clothes!
And I always get the blame, but of course it's really Fred;
That wicked little critter who's underneath my bed.
But I wouldn't be without him, though he's naughty as can be,
though funnily enough, he acts a lot like me!
