Imagine all of your childhood toys were battling quite literally for not only your love but for survival.

lyrics

It’s time for bed and my ma says to put my toys away: Teddy Ruxpin, Voltron, The Masters of the Universe, and sadly My Pet Monster.Now mama says I can’t sleep with him no more; cause he’s got some real bad habits.

Off to sleep and in my dreams I see the Thunderdome and Auntie Entity. And all my toys stand over the body of Master Blaster, but the games they must go on. And on, and on, and on.

My Pet Monster, he leads the pack, he tosses Voltron right over his back, tearing Lion-O limb from limb. He-Man and Man-at-Arms, they try a tag team they don’t get too far. And G.I. Joe met a real sad end. And from over the crowd I hear one voice shout. He says, he says, he says “all I need is a fifth of Jack and some Kodiak”. My Pet Monster is drunk again.

Teddy Ruxpin is the last to stand; he’s a real smooth mother, an educational cat. He throws a tape in his back and he mumbles some mumbo-jumbo that stirs me half awake. My mom busts in the room, says “get the hell out of bed cause there’s a monster in the house and Teddy Ruxpin is dead”. I say “ma, don’t worry, I’ve got him under control”. I reach under my bed and I pull out a bottle, and I take a real big swig. And I hand it to My Pet Monster with a common understanding that all we’ll ever need is a fifth of Jack and some Kodiak. We’re lit. All I need is a fifth of Jack and some Kodiak”. My Pet Monster is drunk again. Take that bottle, pass it to me we’re going to suck it dry, we’re going to make it bleed. Clean it from inside out me and My Pet Monster.
