about
Imagining my cat, Mokey, as Max from the popular children's book Where The Wild Things Are.
lyrics
And if monsters come, they will come by sea
And if monsters come, they will come through walls around you
With terrible eyes rolling, terrible teeth
Gnashing, they cry to the moon and their king the Mongrel
[Refrain]
Bedposts grow branches here
Tangled groves for dance and cheer
They know to find you, dear
Cross the sea over a year
So wildly gone, they will crack their smiles
In spirals and song, they can tap their toes for miles
Now frolicking on, in the moonlight guiles
Like spires at dawn, freely dance in fireside styles
[Refrain]
And if monsters come, they will come by sea
If monsters come, they will come through walls around you
They’ll carry you off on shoulder tops, through trees
Then ferry across in moonlight dreams abounding
[Refrain]
They show their razor-sharp
Brazen claws that clink and spark
Wild Mokey staring stark
Let the wild rumpus start
