Broken Karaoke intro[]
Tilly: Cricket, I summon thee! It's Halloween story time!
Cricket: Ooh! Is this the one with the little toy that's actually a demon?!!
Tilly: Nope. This Halloween tale is a bit more...groovy.
Tilly:
When I was walking along on Halloween
I saw a sight that made me scream
He was tall and green with giant hands
Then I realized he was the Monster Man
Backup singers:
He is the man (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
Monster Dan:
I am the Monster Man
Backup singers:
He is the man (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
Monster Dan:
To scare you is my plan
Backup singers:
He is the man (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
Monster Dan:
My real name is Dan
Backup singers:
He is the Dan (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
Monster Dan:
I am the Monster Dan
Tilly:
Well, the monster was dancin' around
Groovin' to the spooky sound
But when I thought the dance was done
Dan said...
Monster Dan:
Let's get funky, son!
(up-tempo)
Monster Dan:
Mmm!
Check it!
Well, this groove was created in a laboratory
But that's just the start of this monster story
When the moon gets big like a creature's eye
Backup singers:
Monster Man Dan makes a social lie
Monster Dan:
Because ya move your feet and then ya hips come next
And before ya know it, there's a scary text (Ooh!)
Saying Happy Halloween, you should get to know me
Followed by a dancing monster emoji
Backup singers:
Look, we're all laughing in a selfie photo
Monster Dan:
While the dead are rising just to taste this risotto
Too scary to screen, so you just had to sing it
Monster Dan, Backup singers:
Come on to the party, let the Monster Man bring it!!!
Tilly:
Then the morning sun began to dawn
I stretched out and let out a monster yawn
I grabbed my coat and waved goodbye
But suddenly, Dan started to cry
Backup singers:
Don't leave the man (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
Monster Dan:
Don't leave the Monster Man
Backup singers:
Don't leave the man (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
Monster Dan:
The party just began
Backup singers:
Don't leave the man (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
Monster Dan:
I've got more party plans
Backup singers:
Party with Dan (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
Monster Dan:
You are my new best friend
Tilly:
When I was walking along on Halloween
I saw a sight that made me scream

Tilly:
Well, he invited me back to his monster shack
'Cause he thought I might got a monster snack
But he began to dance and started to rhyme
And so I realized for the hundreth time

Trivia[]
- This is the first Broken Karaoke short with no onscreen lyrics.
- This short takes place before the events of "Squashed!" because the toy monster is seen on the Greens' mantle.
- Tilly is seen using the phone Gloria gave her, confirming she still has it since "Ding Dongers".
- This song appears at the end of "Squashed!", replacing "Do It All Again".
- Error: In the video, Saxon is seen in his pre-"Axin' Saxon" appearance instead of his "Saxon 2.0" appearance after being destroyed and repaired by Nancy.
- In "Green Trial", Cricket briefly sings the chorus in the video of him ruining the kitchen out of anxiety before his call with Gabriella.
