You’re old enough now; it’s time you should know
a truth I learned a long time ago.
I was just your age when I learned from my mother
who learned from her father who learned from another

I’ll whisper it now, ‘cause it may sound absurd -
but listen real close to the following words -
You’ll think it’s a lie but I promise it’s true -
Monsters are real, and you have one on you…

I did it! I got it! I finally caught it!
I caught my tail at last!
Though truth be told
this tail I hold
Tastes a bit like hair and grass.

Some said I couldn't; some said I shouldn't
But now I’ve got life by the tail!
There's a bit of a smell
but you hardly can tell
So long as you don't inhale! …
