Monster Mash

[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]
(Wa-ooh) From my laboratory in the castle east
(Wa-ooh) To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
(Wa-wa-ooh) The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
(Wa-ooh) 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]
(Wa-ooh, tennis shoe) The zombies were having fun
(Wa-ooh, tennis shoe) The party had just begun
(Wa-ooh, tennis shoe) The guests included Wolfman
(Wa-ooh) Dracula and his son

[Verse 3]
(Wa-ooh) The scene was rocking, all were digging the sounds
(Wa-ooh) Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
(Wa-wa-ooh) The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
(Wa-ooh) 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]
(Wa-ooh) Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
(Wa-ooh) Seems he was troubled by just one thing
(Wa-wa-ooh) He opened the lid and shook his fist, and said
(Wa-ooh) "Whatever 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]
(Wa-ooh) Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
(Wa-ooh) And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
(Wa-wa-ooh) For you, the living, this Mash was meant too
(Wa-ooh) 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]
(Wa-ooh, Monster Mash) Mm, Mash good
(Wa-ooh, Monster Mash) Easy, Igor, you impetuous young boy
(Wa-ooh, Monster Mash) Mm, Mash good
Mm, lunch
(Wa-ooh, Monster Mash)
(Wa-ooh, Monster Mash)
(Wa-ooh, Monster Mash)
(Wa-ooh, Monster Mash)
(Wa-ooh)
