Folklore tales from all fifty states
Of beasts that dwell in our rivers
Others that glide high in the sky
Thinking of them brings on shivers

Ghosts that may live in old mansions
Or maybe just within one's mind
Look around your own neighborhoods
They're really not too hard to find

A devil dwells in New Jersey
That some say may have been a child
Abandoned by its own mother
At birth, said to be something vile

And if you should be in Texas
Watch out for a thing in the sky
They say it's the great Thunderbird
A mean ugly beast that can fly

We're really not safe anywhere
During the day or late at night
Some of these monsters are spirits
Who relish our terror and fright
