I have a lo-fi acapella demo for this that will probably get posted at some point.
This is one I sang with my kids listening in from the other room.
I meant to get the monster last night.
I meant to get the monster two days ago,
but I didn't. I sat, I sat.
I got nothing except fat.
I should have gotten the monster,
the monster, maybe a monster.
Perhaps a monster for the monster.
That would appease it. Oh, right.
Perhaps a monster for the monster.
That would be just fine.
But I would need to buy that monster
before I bought that monster a beverage.
And that monster is made of stuffing.
It's cute, but I don't think it drinks.
It's so cute. It won't stink.
Unless the drink makes it all moldy.
It's cute, but it doesn't stink.
And I would prefer to keep it that way.
So I won't buy that monster a monster.
Maybe I'll buy a monster for myself.
So I won't buy that monster a monster for itself.
But maybe when I'm done with it,
it can sit right next to that other monster.
So an empty can will sit upon my shelf
beside my cute and furry friend.
And when people walk-by
maybe they'll think that
that cute little monster,
yes, drank that monster.
And so people might think that happened
and it will make me smile.

I didn't get that it was a Monster beverage until the last line but that made it even funnier to me. The way your brain maps out and toys with language is phenomenal. I wonder if Monster would sponsor your purchase of Monster for your cute non-stinky monster.

I couldn't help it, I sang the lyrics with a tune I can't remember anymore. Can't wait to hear the melody for A Monster For My Monster. I love the playfulness of the lyrics.

I love the rhythm in this one, specially "I should have gotten the monster / the monster, maybe a monster / Perhaps a monster for the monster", sounds like a punk song. I'm curious to hear the demo!
