about

Written for my son Joshua, this song reflects back to a time when my son was young and imagination was more powerful than reality.

Like many kids, their room is their domain. Sometimes in protecting that domain, they can get a bit extreme. Imagine a boy with a Godzilla blow up in the closet, an enormous stuff tiger on the bed, a rubber snake in his bathroom sink and a carpet of alligators.

In my wildest dreams I see an animated video featuring Calvin and Hobbs. A fun romp.

lyrics

Dragon in the Closet
Written by Guy Morris (c) 2015

Sister don't complain that I'm messy, oh, no, no
Mom don't make me pick up my clothes
My dad is never mean and I get what i want to eat
Just as long as I keep my door closed

Johnny wants to borrow my skateboard, oh, no, no
Susie need the scissors and glue
Mom and dad are lookin for something that I took
But nobody's gonna look in my room

I got a dragon in the closet
a serpent in the sink
A hungry tiger sleepin on my pillow, Yeow!
An alligator swamp that goes all around my bed
So I'm warning you!
Stay Out of My Room!

Summertime it sure can get muggy
the swamp and the flames
and my old smelly shoes
Brushin my teeth with a serpent in the sink
I guess I get my share of thrills

I got a dragon in the closet
a serpent in the sink
A hungry tiger sleepin on my pillow, Yeow!
An alligator swamp that goes all around my bed
So I'm warning you!
Stay Out of My Room!

You won't much much imagination
when you're sleeping with a tiger and he GROWLS!
Those alligator teeth, they keep snappin at my feet
My dragon make the best Bar-ba-Que in town

I got a dragon in the closet
a serpent in the sink
A hungry tiger sleepin on my pillow, Yeow!
An alligator swamp that goes all around my bed
So I'm warning you!
Stay Out of My Room!
