When I was just a little kid, I saw a scary movie   About a crazy lunatic, you see   He tried to kill these people on vacation with an axe   Then I'd imagine that this dude was after me      While layin' in my bed that night, afraid and wide awake   I promise you, I saw a shadow move   But when I felt an evil spirit, that was it   I knew right then exactly what to do      (And then what happened)   I took authority in Christ   (And then what happened)   All fear flew away   (And then what happened)   I stood bold as a lion and ran it off when it heard me say   (What did you say?)      Don't want no monsters in my house tonight   Don't want no monsters in my house   You won't get me screamin', you're nothing but a demon   It's time for you to go now      I am a temple of the Holy Ghost   And I'm protected by the Lord of Hosts   Get out in the name of Jesus Christ   'Cause I don't want no monsters in my house tonight      On TV there's this creepy guy, the alligator man   I watch him as he chases and he hunts   This peaceful family through the woods with only one thing on his mind   He wants to eat their little kid for lunch      I go so weirded out, I couldn't sleep, then it happened   An evil spirit floated by my bed   I could hardly believe the nerve of this little punk demon   I thought ah, all right, that's it, you're dead      (And then what happened)   I got righteously indignant   (And then what happened)   I was gonna make that demon pay   (And then what happened)   The anointing came upon me, I chased it out when it heard me say   (What did you say?)      Don't want no monsters in my house tonight   Don't want no monsters in my house   You won't get me screamin', you're nothing but a demon   It's time for you to go now      I am a temple of the Holy Ghost   And I'm protected by the Lord of Hosts   Get out in the name of Jesus Christ   I don't want no monsters in my house tonight      No monsters, no monsters      I am a temple of the Holy Ghost   And I'm protected by the Lord of Hosts   Get out in the name of Jesus Christ   'Cause I don't want no monsters in my house   Now, I don't want no monsters in my house   No, I don't want no monsters in my house tonight
