Monsters having fun
Happy, happy
See them jump and run
Happy, happy
Laughing all the while
Cheerful, cheerful
Flashing a big smile
That's a perfect sign
That they're feeling fine
Furry, happy monsters feeling glad
Furry, happy monsters feeling glad
Furry, happy monsters laughing
Something has gone wrong
Sighing, sighing
Faces have turned long
Crying, crying
Hear them sob and whine
Tearful, tearful
That's a real good sign
That they're feeling glum
Sad, sad times have come
Furry sobbing monsters feeling sad
Furry sobbing monsters feeling sad
Furry sobbing monsters crying
Michael Stipe (spoken): Come on,
monsters! You don't have to cry, we can be happy!
