Walking down a darkened hallway
Everybody turns to look at you
It’s not because you’re different
It’s just because you’re so scary cool!
A sinister style, mystery with a smile
You’re drop-dead gorgeous, drop-dead gorgeous
This school gives me the creeps but when I’m with my peeps
You can’t ignore us—this is where the ghoul kids rule!
Monster, monster high, Monster High
Monster, monster high, come on don’t be shy
Monster High, the party never dies!
Monster, monster high, Monster High
Monster, monster high
Freaky, chic, and fly, Monster High
Where student bodies lie!
Hey, Frankie’s got me fallin’ apart
Oh, Draculaura’s stealin’ my heart
Clawdeen Wolf, you make me howl at the moon
Lagoona, you’re the finest fish in this lagoon
Cleo De Nile, you so beguile
Even though you act so vile, uh-huh
And Deuce has stone-cold style!
These are my boos, my skeleton crew
A little strange, but so are you
Don’t you wanna be a monster too?
Oh, freaky just got fabulous!
Everybody wants a piece of you
The stars all smile, let’s be realistic
Most characteristic, most hippin’ horrific!
(Chorus Repeat)
Monsters, monsters, so bizarre
Monsters, monsters, yes we are!
We’ve got spirits, yes we do
We’ve got spirits, how ’bout you?

Behind the Lyrics: Scary Cool Individuality
The Monster High theme song is an anthem of self-acceptance dressed in a spooky, high-energy pop shell. By flipping traditional horror tropes—like “drop-dead gorgeous” and “where student bodies lie”—into fashion-forward compliments, the song mirrors the franchise’s core philosophy: “Be Yourself. Be Unique. Be a Monster.”
The lyrics provide a clever roll-call of the main cast, linking their mythological heritage to high school archetypes. Frankie Stein (the “new girl” literally stitched together), Draculaura (the vampire with a heart of gold), and Clawdeen Wolf (the fierce fashionista) represent different facets of the teenage experience. The 2022 Nickelodeon series revitalizes these themes with a modern, upbeat sound while keeping the “punny” lyricism that fans have loved since the brand’s inception in 2010.
