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 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 , it caught on in a flash   They did the mash , they did the monster mash      If you've ever seen a monster before   Dancin' across the dance floor   Don't be afraid, don't run and shout   Turn around and help the monster turn it out      Get down with the monster mash   Get down with the monster mash      Get down with the monster mash   Get down with the monster mash   And if you don't have core hard cash   You can still do the monster mash      The scene was rockin', 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'      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      Out from the coffin', Drac's voice did ring   Seems he was troubled by just one thing   He 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, it was 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 Borris 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      The monster mash      Get down with the monster mash   Get down with the monster mash   Get down with the monster mash   Mash
