Monster Under My Stairs

There’s a monster living under my stairs How do I know? I’ve heard him there While trying to be as quiet as a mouse He’ll sneeze and shake the entire house He’s big, he’s hairy He’s very scary One step, two steps, three steps, four Did the monster hear me open the door? Five steps, six steps, then onto seven Will I make it down to eleven? Holding my breath all the way down Hoping the monster has gone and left town If you dare go down my basement stairs Watch out for the monster He may be there
