Monster Squad Rap
[Intro]
Gotta get up, gotta get out
We got work to do, work to do
[Verse 1]
In a hundred years, in the darkest night
The forces of evil come out to fight
The amulet they must destroy
Or spend forever in the darkest void
Who can stop their deadly might?
Or who will stand up for the right?
From the mouth of babes comes dynamite
The Monster Squad is gonna groove tonight!
[Verse 2]
First came Dracula, now the Wolfman too
The Mummy and the Creature from the Black Lagoon
We need silver bullets, we need wooden stakеs
Normal stuff won't stop them 'cause they livе on hate
Speak some magic words from a virgin's lips
Maybe that'll shake 'em, make 'em slip and trip
There's no turning back, gotta fight the fight
Yeah, the Monster Squad is gonna jam tonight!
[Chorus]
Monster Squad (We're the Monster Squad)
And the forces of evil better run and hide
Monster Squad (We're the Monster Squad)
And the forces of evil best beware of the Monster Squad
[Post-Chorus]
Gotta get up, gotta get out
We got work to do, work to do
Gotta get up, gotta get out
We got work to do, work to do
[Verse 3]
Momma dear can't help us, dad don't understand
No one would believe it, put it in our hands
Gotta stop those creatures, send them back to hell
Or there's no tomorrow, no saved by the bell
There's no place to run, nowhere to hide
Now it's time to see what you got inside
No evil will escape my sight
Yeah, the Monster Squad is gonna jam tonight!
[Verse 4]
This ain't Halloween or some phony deal
They be playin' for keeps, they be playin' for real
Now when darkness spreads all across the land
We're the only ones left to make a stand
We don't wanna hang with the walking dead
So we gotta kick some monster butt instead
And you'll never see such a ghastly sight
When the Monster Squad saves the world tonight!
[Chorus]
Monster Squad (We're the Monster Squad)
And the forces of evil better run and hide
Monster Squad (We're the Monster Squad)
And the forces of evil best beware of the Monster Squad
[Outro]
Gotta get up, gotta get out
We got work to do, work to do
Gotta get up, gotta get out
We got work to do, work to do
Gotta get up, gotta get out
We got work to do, work to do
Gotta get up, gotta get out
We got work to do, work to do
