Monster Mash

Originally performed by: Bobby "Boris" Pickett
I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster, from his slab began to rise
And suddenly, to my surprise
he did the mash
He did the monster mash
the monster mash
it was 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 abode
To get a jolt from my electrode
They did the mash
They did the monster mash
the monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
they did the mash
It 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 Baggers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, The Cryptkicker Five
They played the mash
They played the monster mash
the monster the mash
It was a graveyard smash
they played the mash
It caught on in a flash
they played the mash
They played the monster mash
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
Opened the lid and 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's cool
Drac's a part of the band
And 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 Boris sent you
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
the monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
then you can mash
You'll catch on in a flash
then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
Grrrr... mash....
Easy Igor, you impetuous vampire
