Welcome, welcome everyone,

If You Ever See a Monster [tune: Did You ever see a Lassie ]
If you ever see a monster,
A big ugly monster,
If you ever see a monster,
Here's what you should do.
Make this face...and that face (Make "monster faces")
And that face...and this face...
If you ever see a monster...
Be sure to shout "Boo!"
Monster Stomp
If you want to be a monster, now's your chance
'cause everybody's doing the monster dance.
You just stamp your feet, and wave your arms around.
Stretch 'em up, stretch 'em down.
Then put them on the ground.
'Cause your doing the Monster Stomp.
Ohhhh...aaahhh... ooohhh.... aaah aaahhh!
Ohhhh...aaahhh... ooohhh.... aaah aaahhh!
