“BOPPY, FUNNY, ZINGY AND CUTE!”
THE GOOD MONSTER has been tested and approved by tamariki!
THE GOOD MONSTER is a waiata (song) for those times when your little
one makes fear inside themselves about the idea of ‘monsters’.
This waiata is to remind your little one (and you) that the idea of ‘monsters’
is imaginary and we have AMAZING ANIMALS in our world to think about instead of those monster mind tricks.
This is the first released whānau song from award-winning musician Huia Hamon aka Māori Māmā, who wrote this track with the guidance of her 2 tamariki, Manaaki J and Zen-Awa who both feature on this track.
Supported by NZONAIR.
Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by our family, at Kog Studio - www.kog.co.nz.

lyrics
V1. The Good Monster, the Good Monster, the Good Monster, yay!
I saw a monster today, it was coming my way
I’ll tell you what it looked like and what I heard it say!
Well this monster was furry
Had 2 green eyes and tail, 4 legs and it said
‘purrr, meoww!’
Sounds like a monster to me?
Ch. Oh no it’s not a monster, don't be crazy, it’s just a cat, mm-hmm
There’s no monsters in this world, only cats… isn’t that good?
V2. I saw a monster today, it was coming my way
I’ll tell you what it looked like and what I heard it say (meaow!)
Well, this monster was very friendly
Had a waggy tail, 4 legs… it was furry and it said
‘woof woof woof!’
Sounds like a monster to me?
Ch. Oh no, it’s not a monster, don’t be crazy, it’s just a dog, mm hmm.
There’s no monsters in this world, only dogs… isn't that good!
V3. There are no monsters, just the ones in your head, mm-hmm.
There are no monsters under your bed, probably just toys!
But there are parrots and geckos and elephants and bunnies
and magic things…
So don’t be afraid of those monsters, because, they’re
imaginary!!
But I thought I saw one the other day, what do you think?
V4. I saw a monster today, it was coming my way
I’ll tell you what it looked like and what I heard it say (meaow!)
Well this monster had 2 legs
2 eyes a face and hair and it said
‘kia ora, hello!’
Sounds like a monster to me?
Ch. Oh no it’s not a monster, don’t be crazy, it’s just a human mm-hmm.
There’s no monsters in this world, only humans, isn’t that good?!
Isn’t that good, isn’t that good, isn’t that good?!
Good, good, good, good… mm hmm!
