### **"I’m Not a Monster, You Are!"** *(Intro: dramatic strings with whimsical percussion)* In the middle of the night, in a castle so grim, There stood a little cookie, stout and slim. With gumdrop buttons and frosting neat, Facing down the Lord in his towering seat. *(Verse 1: bold and playful)* “You think I’m the monster, but look at you, Big and scary, what do you do? You rip apart kingdoms, you’re stealing dreams, I’m just a gingerbread man, baked with cream.” Buttons trembling, frosting firm, This little cookie’s about to burn. But he’s got heart, he’s got spice, And he’s not going down without a fight! --- *(Chorus: triumphant and cheeky)* I’m not a monster, you are! Breaking hearts, leaving scars. I’m sugar and spice, sweet as can be, You’re the one causing misery! Oh, I’m not a monster, can’t you see? I’m a cookie, full of glee. Gumdrop courage, frosting pride, I’ll stand my ground, I’ll never hide! --- *(Verse 2: witty and defiant)* “You’ve got knights and dragons at your beck and call, But all I need is sugar—that’s all! You’re twisting tales, making life a chore, While I just wanna live in my bakery store.” Ovens hot, the pressure’s on, But this cookie’s fight is never gone. With a gumdrop glare and a powdered grin, He’ll take on evil and he’ll win! --- *(Chorus: triumphant and cheeky)* I’m not a monster, you are! Breaking hearts, leaving scars. I’m sugar and spice, sweet as can be, You’re the one causing misery! Oh, I’m not a monster, can’t you see? I’m a cookie, full of glee. Gumdrop courage, frosting pride, I’ll stand my ground, I’ll never hide! --- *(Bridge: dramatic and empowering)* [Male Voice] "You may call me small and sweet, But I’ve got strength you can’t defeat. In this oven, I was made to last, A cookie’s spirit, steadfast!" *(Instrumental break: triumphant horns and playful percussion)* --- *(Final Chorus: bold and victorious)* I’m not a monster, you are! Breaking hearts, leaving scars. I’m sugar and spice, sweet as can be, You’re the one causing misery! Oh, I’m not a monster, can’t you see? I’m a cookie, full of glee. Gumdrop courage, frosting pride, I’ll stand my ground, I’ll never hide! --- *(Outro: soft and triumphant)* So here I stand, a cookie with flair, Facing down monsters without a care. Sweet and strong, I’ll make my mark, A little gingerbread, with a fiery spark! *(Fades out with playful whistling and a gumdrop drumbeat)*
