Sesame Street
I Want A Monster To Be My Friend
Some kids just love to play with dolls
Or put on funny hats
And some make pets of birds and fish
And dogs and alley cats
That's not the way I like to play
I'm tired of all these
I need a very special friend
Won't you help me please?
I want a monster to be my playmate
I want a monster to be my friend
I want to get for my own pet
A real live monster who is not pretend
Oh I want a monster to be my playmate
We'd soon become good friends because
Although they're hairy and sometimes scary
They have such soft and furry paws
If I make friends with a friendly monster
I'll let him bounce me on his knee
I'll let him do whatever he wants to
Especially if he's bigger than me
So if you know of a nice old monster
If you've a monster to recommend
Well golly gee
Send him to me
I just can't wait until then
I want a monster
A real live monster
I want a monster to be my friend
Please be my friend
