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       The zombies were having fun    The party had just begun    The guests included Wolf Man    Dracula and his son       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 his 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    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       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
