[Intro] [deep male voice, gravelly texture] (Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha) [Verse 1] [whispered, heavy vocal fry] I'm the beast, I'm the monster, I'm the creepy thing at night I creep up under your bed Make you wish you were dead I'm the monster that's under your bed The creepy thing that's touching your head I'm coming for you in the middle of the night [Verse 2] [rhythmic delivery, raspy tone] The floor creaks down the hallway Your door's wide open, I'm on my way Tip-tip-toe, tip-tip-toe I'm going to take my time, I'm going to have plenty of time Tip-tip-toe, tip-tip-toe (ha ha ha ha ha) Just let me come in real slow Close as your shadow [Bridge] [increased intensity, guttural growl] Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no What you gonna do when I snatch you up by your elbow? (ha ha ha ha) Gonna get you, gonna scream, you're gonna cream, you're gonna scream But nobody's gonna hear you [Verse 3] [low volume, menacing whisper] Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go You're fast asleep, you think you're safe Next thing you know, your shadow starts growing You try to tuck in real tight You try to keep the demons out at night But this is what happens when you lie [Outro] [slow, deliberate pacing] So you got to know, it's going to be slow The blood's gonna run down the floor Drip down the stairs Go to sleep, don't be scared
