God is Bigger, also known as Bigger than the Boogie Man, is a song from Where's God When I'm S-Scared?
Bob and Larry sing a song to Junior that God is the biggest thing in the universe and you don't need to be afraid of monsters. Junior later started to sing it later at the end of the segment.
The Boyz in the Sink later did their own version of the song.
Lyrics
Bob and Larry's version
Bob: You were lying in your bed. You were feeling kind of sleepy. But you couldn't close your eyes because the room was getting creepy.
Larry: Were those eyeballs in the closet? Was that Godzilla in the hall?
Bob: There was something big and hairy casting shadows on your wall. Now your heart is beating like a drum. Your skin is getting clammy. There's a hundred tiny monsters jumping right into your jammies! What are you going to do?
Junior: I'm going to call the police.
Bob: No. You don't have to do anything.
Junior: What? Why?
Bob: Because... God is bigger than the boogie man. He's bigger than Godzilla or the monsters on TV. Oh, God is bigger than the boogie man and he's watching out for you and me.
Junior's version (reprise)
Junior: So when I'm lying in my bed and the furniture starts creeping, I'll just laugh and say "Hey! Cut that out!" And get back to my sleeping 'cause I know that God's the biggest, and He's watching all the while. So when I get scared, I'll think of Him and close my eyes and smile!
Bob, Larry and Junior: God is bigger than the boogie man. He's bigger than Godzilla or the monsters on TV. Oh, God is bigger than the boogie man, And he's watching out for you and me.
Monster #1: So are you frightened?
Junior: No not really!
Monster #2: Are you worried?
Junior: Not a bit! I know whatever's gonna happen, that God can handle it!
Phil Winklestein: I'm sorry that I scared you when you saw me on TV.
Junior: Well that's okay, cause now I know that God is taking care of me!
Everyone: God is bigger than the boogie man. He's bigger than Godzilla and the monsters on TV. Oh, God is bigger than the boogie man, And he's watching out for you and me.
Junior: One more time!
Everyone: God is bigger than the boogie man. He's bigger than Godzilla and the monsters on TV. Oh, God is bigger than the boogie man and he's watching out for you and me. He's watching out for you and me.
Monster #1: Watching,
Monster #2: watching,
Monster #3: watching!
Junior: Out for you and me, Yeah!
