A worked example

Meet Hugo, our example monster friend

Hugo's invented, but you'll know a Hugo. This is the kind of thing parents tell us, and the lullaby it becomes. Yours would be built from your own little one.

Hugo

Four. Believes a monster lives in the wardrobe, but Gerald the friendly sock-guard keeps it calm.

  • Believes a monster lives in the wardrobe
  • Loves socks
  • Enjoys bedtime stories
  • Needs a gentle monster friend

What his mum told us

Hugo is four and has decided there's a monster in the wardrobe. We've turned it friendly: Gerald, who guards socks. It's half working. A lullaby where kind old Gerald yawns, snuggles down in the wardrobe and snores softly would finish the job.

The sort of thing a mum might send us

Read the lyrics: Gerald the Friendly Monster, HugoLullaby · Soft male voice · Monsters

Verse 1

Hugo, Hugo, close your eyesThe wardrobe door breathes soft goodbyesGerald's tucked in, warm and roundGuarding socks without a sound

Refrain

Sleep now, Hugo, sleep so deepGerald's here, he's fast asleepNo more creaks and no more roarJust soft snores behind the door

Verse 2

Gerald yawns a great big yawnHis pointy teeth all soft and wornHe counts your socks, one, two, threeThen curls up sleepy as can be

Refrain

Sleep now, Hugo, sleep so deepGerald's here, he's fast asleepNo more creaks and no more roarJust soft snores behind the door

Verse 3

He hugs a sock like a teddy bearPurple fur and a sleepy stareHis big eyes blink, then close up tightGerald says a soft goodnight

Bridge

Nothing hides that wants to scareOnly Gerald, snoring thereWrapped in blankets, cosy, deepTwo old friends who love their sleep

Refrain

Sleep now, Hugo, sleep so deepGerald's here, he's fast asleepNo more creaks and no more roarJust soft snores behind the door

Outro

Hugo dreams and Gerald tooBoth tucked in the whole night throughShh now, Hugo, drift awayGerald's here till break of day

Hugo's lullaby came from a friendly monster named Gerald who loves socks. Yours will come from whatever your little one loves.

What to tell us for a monster friendly lullaby

A sentence or two is plenty. The little details make the monster feel right at home.

  1. Their favourite monster

    A fluffy dragon, a gentle ogre, a sock-guard named Gerald: the more you describe, the more personal the song.

  2. Monster habits

    Yawning, snuggling, guarding socks, humming a tune: these become gentle verses that settle down.

  3. The bedtime battle

    Tell us if bedtime feels scary, noisy or calm. We turn the monster into a helper that leads them to sleep.

  4. Who sings it

    Soft male, warm female, or a calming whisper: pick the voice that fits your night.

What tonight could be

The moment the monster becomes a friend

Somewhere in the second verse, the monster's snores settle the room.

The gasp

Their own name, in a real song, beside a friendly monster. Watch the eyes widen, then soften.

The settle

The monster curls down, the child follows, and the whole house sighs into quiet.

The every-night encore

Soon it becomes the bedtime favourite, the one they ask for night after night.

Ready for tomorrow's bedtime

Before you ask

Questions, answered

The sensible questions, answered before lights-out.

Will a monster song really calm my child?

Yes, because the monster is written as friendly and soft, the melody is slow, and the ending lands like a gentle sigh.

Can the monster have a name?

Absolutely. Tell us the name, like Gerald, and it will appear throughout the lullaby, making it theirs.

How long does it take?

Your lullaby is recorded and delivered within 24 hours of ordering. You read and approve the lyrics before we sing a note.

What ages does it suit?

Most monster friendly lullabies are for little ones between one and seven, with wording pitched to the age you give us.

What do I actually receive?

A high-quality MP3 of the personalised lullaby, sung in the voice you chose, sent to your email with a download link. Play it from any phone, tablet or speaker.
