Lyrics

Monster Cereals
It's Saturday morning, what will I eat?
Searching the pantry for a breakfast treat.
Fortified with minerals and vitamins,
Which breakfast cereal? I like the spooky ones.
Monster cereals are so much fun,
Eating little marshmallows one by one.
Turning my milk chocolate blue or red,
Monster cereals—breakfast with the undead!
Frankenberry was made in a lab,
With strawberry flavors oh so fab.
With vitamin C so I can thrive,
It makes me feel like, “It's alive!”
Monster cereals are so much fun,
Eating little marshmallows one by one.
Turning my milk chocolate blue or red,
Monster cereals—breakfast with the undead!
Booberry is named after a ghost,
Part of your complete breakfast with milk, juice, and toast.
Don't eat too much, or when you’re through,
What comes out will be kinda blue!
Monster cereals are so much fun,
Eating little marshmallows one by one.
Turning my milk chocolate blue or red,
Monster cereals—breakfast with the undead!
Count Chocula is my favorite snack,
He's a vampire dressed in brown, not black.
He's really afraid of Bela Lugosi,
But he'd share a bowl with Nancy Pelosi.
Monster cereals are so much fun,
Eating little marshmallows one by one.
Turning my milk chocolate blue or red,
Monster cereals—breakfast with the undead!
Monster cereals—yeah, yeah, yeah!
Monster cereals—fun, fun, fun!
Monster cereals—rar, rar, rar!
Monster cereals—I love them a ton!
