Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son
[Verse 3]
The scene was rocking
All were digging the sounds
Igor on chains
Backed by his baying hounds
The Coffin Bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group
"The Crypt-Kicker Five"
[Chorus]
They played the Mash
They played the Monster Mash
The Monster 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
[Verse 4]
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
"What ever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"
[Chorus]
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's caught on in a flash
It's now the Mash
It's now the Monster Mash
[Verse 5]
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!
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Mash good!
Monster Mash
Easy, Igor, you impetuous young boy
Monster Mash
Mash good!
Monster Mash
Hmm, lunch!
Monster Mash
Monster Mash
Monster Mash
Monster Mash
