MONSTER MASH

(Originally Performed by Bobby (Boris) Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers)

Good evening!

I was working in the lab late one night

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight

My monster, from its slab, began to rise

And suddenly to my surprise

He did the Mash, he did the Monster Mash

The Monster Mash, and it's a graveyard smash

He did the Mash, it caught on in a flash

He did the Mash, he did the Monster Mash

From my laboratory in the castle east

To the master bedroom, where the vampires feast

The ghouls all came from their humble abodes

To get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the Mash, they did the Monster Mash

The Monster Mash, it was a graveyard smash

They did the Mash, they caught on in a flash

They did the Mash, they did the Monster Mash

The zombies were having fun

The party had just begun

The guests included Wolfman

Dracula, and his son

The scene was rocking, all were digging the sound

Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds

The Coffin Bangers were about to arrive

With their vocal group, The Crypt Keeper Five

They did the Mash, they played the Monster Mash

The Monster Mash, it was a graveyard smash

They played the Mash, they caught on in a flash

They played the Mash, they played the Monster Mash

Out of his coffin Drac's voice did ring

Seems he was troubled by just one thing

Opened the lid, shook his fist, and said

"Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"

It's now the Mash, it's now the Monster Mash

The Monster Mash, and it's a graveyard smash

It's now the Mash, it caught on in a flash

It's now the Mash, it's now the Monster Mash

Now everything is cool, Drac's a part of the band

My Monster Mash is the hit of the land

For you, the living, this Mash was meant, too

When you get to my door, tell them Only sent you

Then you can Mash, then you can Monster Mash

The Monster Mash, another graveyard smash

Then you can Mash, you'll catch on in a flash

Then you can Mash, you did the Monster Mash

The Monster Mash...
