[Intro] [Four drum clicks, then a funky bassline kicks in] [Sound of a cash register: Cha-ching] [Joyful Speaking voice]: "Everyone has a part to play in the big neighborhood!" [Verse 1 - Needs vs. Wants] You look at the shelf and you see a shiny toy, And your heart starts jumping with a lot of joy! But wait! Is it a WANT or is it a NEED? Is it a fancy cake or a garden seed? A NEED is the water, the house, and the food, The things that keep you in a healthy mood! A WANT is the glitter, the game, and the treat, The "extra special" things that make life sweet! [Verse 2 - The Helpers Jobs] Look down the street, what do you see? A world full of JOBS for you and for me! The DOCTOR helps you when you’re feeling blue, The FARMER grows the corn and the carrots too! The FIREFIGHTER keeps the dragon-fire small, While the TEACHER helps the brain stand tall! (Everybody’s working! Everyone is kind! Leaving no monster friend behind!) [Chorus] It’s the Monster Market! (The Helping Hand!) The way we live across the land! I give a little, you give a lot, Sharing all the special skills we’ve got! From the PRODUCER to the CONSUMER line, Working together makes the community shine! [Bridge] [Music gets smooth—soft electric piano] Money is a tool to help us trade, For the bread that was baked and the shoes that were made. But the biggest "Pay" in the neighborhood... Is the feeling of doing something GOOD! [Chorus] It’s the Monster Market! (The Helping Hand!) Working together makes the community shine! [Outro] [The brass section plays a big, soul finish] What’s your job? How can you help? We’re a team. That’s what it’s about! [Final "Cha-ching!" sound and a happy cheer] [End]
