When I was jus a little kid I saw a scary movie
About as 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 the creep 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 ayy, all right, that's it, you're dead
(And then what happened) I got righteously indignant
(And then what happened) I's 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
'Cause I don't want no monsters in my house tonight
