The Monster In The Mirror

created by fuzzy and blue

In the spirit of The Monster at the End of this Book, another epic saga of Grover overcoming his neurotic fears to come to terms with himself in a glorious stream of nonsense syllables. Performed by Frank Oz as Grover, with various and sundry unidentified Sesame Street Muppet monsters as backup singers.

Words by Norman Stiles; Music by Christopher Cerf.

Lyrics:

Grover: Saw a monster in my mirror when I woke today
A monster in my mirror, but I did not run away.
I did not shed a tear or hide beneath my bed,
Though the monster looked at me and this is what he said:

Chorus:

He said, "Wubba, wubba, wubba, wubba, woo woo woo
Wubba, wubba, wubba, and a doodly-doo."

He sang, "Wubba, wubba, wubba", so I sang it too:
"Do not wubba me, or I will wubba you."

Monsters: Do not wubba me, or I will wubba you.

Grover: Told the monster in the mirror, "No, I am not scared."
Then I smiled at him and thanked him for the song that we had shared
Well, the monster thanked me too, he smiled right back and then
The monster in the mirror sang this song again:

Chorus

He went "Wubba, wubba, wubba" and I sang along
'Cause "Wubba, wubba, wubba" is a monster song.

Monsters: Wubba, wubba, wubba is a monster song.

Grover and monsters: Chorus (a capella/voices only)

Grover: He sang "Wubba, wubba, wubba" and I sang along (instrumental music returns)
'Cause "Wubba, wubba, wubba" is a monster song.

Monsters: Wubba, wubba, wubba is a monster song.

Grover: If your mirror has a monster in it, do not shout
This kind of situation does not call for freaking out
And do nothing that you would not like to see him do
'Cause that monster in the mirror, he just might be you!

Chorus

"Wubba, wubba, wubba", you can join in too
Yes, if you wubba me then I will wubba you.

Monsters: If you wubba me then I will wubba you.

Grover: Going "Wubba, wubba, wubba" is the thing to do.

Grover and monsters: Every time you wubba us, we wubba you.

Unidentified monster: (spoken) Me wubba you.
