Song: These words -
monsters, dancing, jumped, hopped, shouted out, twirled me round -
appear in the song. What is the singer's dream
about?
Listen, read and
check.
Scary
reatures
I was sleeping in my
bed
Silly nightmares
filled my head
There were monsters
everywhere
Monsters here and
monsters there
They were purple,
red and green
The strangest things
l've ever seen
They were dancing in
a hall
It seemed to be a
monsters' ball
Monsters love to
dance all night
It's fun to watch;
it's quite a sight
They don't look like
me or you But monsters love to party,
too
Every way I turned I
saw
Monsters dance
across the floor
I stood and stared
at everyone
They were having so
much fun
They jumped, they
hopped, they shouted out laughed as they all danced about The place
was rocking to the beat Of jumping, hopping monster feet I danced
to the monster band And Big Foot took me by the hand He picked me
up and twirled me round
As we danced to the
monster sound
Then suddenly I
raised my head And I was back in my own
bed
The music faded, but
I knew
That all 1 dreamt was really
true
