When You're a Monster, Too is a song from "The Rumor Millstone," an episode of The Book of Pooh. It was written by Andrew Wyatt. To protect his squashes in his garden, Rabbit told Tigger a tall tale. However, this spread around the Hundred Acre Wood and evolved into a story about a monster. To scare away this monster, Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore created a monster costume and sang this song as they did so.

Piglet: B-b-but, Pooh, the monster might have big yellow eyes and hairy feet.
And th-th-that kind of monster's the worst.
Pooh: I bet honey is what it likes to eat.
Eeyore: It'll probably eat me first.
Tigger: Hey, hey, hey, now wait a minute, fellas
Monsters are pretty tough, I say
But... If we pretend we're monsters
We can scare the monster away!
All: Hey!
Tigger: If you're scared of monsters
Pretend you're a monster
Any old monster will do
Cause monsters don't seem half as scary
When you're a monster, too!
Pooh: We could be meaner
Piglet: Scalier?
Eeyore: Greener.
Tigger: Matter of fact, it's true
It's easy to make a monster up
All: When you're a monster, too!
Pooh: But Christopher Robin says there's no such thing as monsters anywhere.
Tigger: Well then, that'll make this monster that much easier to scare!
All: So look out, monster
Tell that monster
His monstering days are through
Eeyore: Oh, hang on, Rabbit, we're on our way
Tigger: No monster's gettin' you today!
Pooh and Piglet: No monster's getting you, no way
All: We'll chase it far, far, far away
Piglet: 'Cuz scaring's the easiest thing to do
All: When you're a scary monster too!
When you're... a... mon-... ster... too...!
Tigger: Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
