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
(Waah Oooo)
From my laboratory in the castle east
(Waah Oooo)
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
(Wah Waah Oooo)
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
(Waah Oo)
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
(Waah Oooo...n' a shoop)
The zombies were having fun
(Waah Oooo...n' a shoop)
The party had just begun
(Wah Oooo...n' a shoop)
The guests included Wolf Man
(Waah Oo)
Dracula and his son
(Waah Oooo)
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
(Waah Oooo)
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
(Wah Waah Oooo)
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
(Waah Oo)
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
(Waah Oooo)
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
(Waah Oooo)
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
(Wah Waah Oooo)
He opened the lid and shook his fist
(Waah Oo)
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
(Waah Oooo)
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
(Waah Oooo)
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
(Wah Waah Oooo)
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
(Waah Oo)
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
(Waah Oooo monster mash)

I got a woman
Mean as she can be
I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me
A black cat up and died of fright
Cause she crossed his path last night
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me
She kiss so hard, she bruise my lips
Hurts so good, my heart just flips
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me
The strangest gal I ever had
Never happy unless she's mad
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me
She makes love without a smile
Ooh, hot dog it drives me wild
Oh, I got a woman

Whatever it is, it'll keep till morning
Haven't we both got better things to do, midnight blue
Even though simple things become rough
Haven't we had enough
And I think we can make it
One more time, if we try
One more time for all the old times
For all the times you told me you need me
Needing me now is something I could use, midnight blue
Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend
Maybe it's not the end
And I think we can make it
One more time, if we try
One more time for all the old times, midnight blue
I think we can make it
I think we can make it
Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend
Think of me as your friend
And I think we can make it

One more time for all of the old old old times
Haven't we both got better things to do, midnight blue

It's not how fast you can go
The force goes into the flow
If you pick up the beat
You can forget about the heat
It's more than just survival
More than just a flash
More than just a dotted line
More than just a dash
It's a test of ultimate will
The heartbreak climb uphill
Got to pick up the pace
If you want to stay in the race
It's more than blind ambition
More than simple greed
More than a finish line
Must feed their burning need
In the long run
From first to last
The peak is never passed
Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes
One moment's high, and glory rolls on by
Like a streak of lightning
That flashes and fades in the summer sky
Your meters may overload
You can rest at the side of the road
You can miss a stride
But nobody gets a free ride
It's more than high performance
More than just a spark
More than just a bottom line
Or a lucky shot in the dark
In the long run
From first to last
The peak is never passed
Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes
One moment's high, and glory rolls on by
Like a streak of lightning
That flashes and fades in the summer sky
You can do a lot in a lifetime
If you don't burn out too fast
You can make the most of the distance
First you need endurance
First you've got to last
From first to last
The peak is never passed
Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes
One moment's high, and glory rolls on by
Like a streak of lightning
That flashes and fades in the summer sky
From first to last
The peak is never passed
Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes
One moment's high, and glory rolls on by

So many things I think about
When I look far away
Things I know -- things I wonder
Things Id like to say
The more we think we know about
The greater the unknown
We suspend our disbelief
And we are not alone --
Mystic rhythms -- capture my thoughts
And carry them away
Mysteries of night escape the light of day
Mystic rhythms -- under northern lights
Primitive things stir
The hearts of everyone
We sometimes catch a window
A glimpse of whats beyond
Was it just imagination
Stringing us along?
More things than are dreamed about
Unseen and unexplained
We suspend our disbelief
And we are entertained
Mystic rhythms -- capture my thoughts
And carry them away
Nature seems to spin
A supernatural way
Mystic rhythms -- under city lights
Or a canopy of stars
We feel the powers
And we wonder what they are
We feel the push and pull
Of restless rhythms from afar
When I look far away
Things I know -- things I wonder
Things Id like to say
The more we think we know about
The greater the unknown
We suspend our disbelief
And we are not alone --
Mystic rhythms -- capture my thoughts
And carry them away
Mysteries of night escape the light of day

Your love is like a gentle breeze
That's always blowin' over me
I know you're all I'll ever need
In each and every way
You're both ends of the rainbow
My colors and my pot of gold
I love you with a love untold
More than I can say
You are the song of every bird
You are the poet's every word
Every artist's picture
Every writer's play
You are the glow in every night
You are the warmth in each sunrise
Makes no difference how I try
It's more than I can say
And when I've needed you
You've always been there for me
Been my friend and stood by me
And held me as you loved the world away
And when I've wanted you
You have satisfied my needs
Fullfilled all my fantasies
I love you more and more each day
More than I can say
Oh and sometimes I watch you gently sleep
Listen as you softly breathe
Touch you skin and kiss you sweet
And love you all the way
I reach for you
You come to me
Love me into ecstacy
I will love you endlessly

How do a few doo-di-do-dili-doodles turn into a few beautiful symphony?
Can you take what is merely so-so
Into something big league
Take a tip from a virtuoso
Me, Tchaikovsky and Grieg
What you do is construct yourself
By the way you conduct yourself
You don't have to disclose yourself
Compose yourself
Find your tune, set your piece
Clair de Lune it may never be
But make the most of the music that is yours
If your ring, isn't great
You can change it, just modulate
Make the most of the music that is yours
Till it's all composed
Add to your theme till it grows
Nothing extreme
Say a note of disdain, here and there
Gives the refrain a certain flair
Compose, blend it like cream till it flows
Gathering steam with a note of success
Flaunt your talents
A note of distress though, to stress the balance
Compose, don't lose the pace on your bass notes
And when you have to erase notes
Replace them, with grace notes
Like a note of wit, to give it style
A note of glitter, a note of guile
A note of tact, a note a friction, a note of fact in amongst the fiction
And to counteract any contradiction, a note or two of complete conviction
Compose, compose, compose
Luscious heart, soft high hat
If you're sharp then you won't fall flat
Make the most of the music that is yours
Hear it sweet, add a fill
Give the people a great big thrill
Make the most of your music till it soars
Till it soars
Compose, hitting the highs with the lows
Just so it rises and up to, upbeats
As long as you keep climbing
Upscale, upstream
Everything is timing
Time to blend, set the beat
Keep ascending, don't compete
Compose
Comes the day, all too soon
When you may have to trust your tune
Make the most of your music
And who knows!
You may even get to like
What you compose!
Can you take what is merely so-so
Into something big league
Take a tip from a virtuoso

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
(Waah Oooo)
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
(Waah Oooo)
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
(Wah Waah Oooo)
He opened the lid and shook his fist
(Waah Oo)
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
(Waah Oooo)
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
(Waah Oooo)
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
(Wah Waah Oooo)
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
(Waah Oo)
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
(Waah Oooo monster mash)
- repeat to fade
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
(Waah Oooo)
From my laboratory in the castle east
(Waah Oooo)
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
(Wah Waah Oooo)
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
(Waah Oo)
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
(Waah Oooo...n' a shoop)
The zombies were having fun
(Waah Oooo...n' a shoop)
The party had just begun
(Wah Oooo...n' a shoop)
The guests included Wolf Man
(Waah Oo)
Dracula and his son
(Waah Oooo)
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
(Waah Oooo)
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
(Wah Waah Oooo)
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
(Waah Oo)
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
(Waah Oooo)
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
(Waah Oooo)
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
(Wah Waah Oooo)
He opened the lid and shook his fist
(Waah Oo)
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
(Waah Oooo)
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
(Waah Oooo)
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
(Wah Waah Oooo)
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
(Waah Oo)
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
(Waah Oooo monster mash)

YEAR
1982
Two drummers sat at dinner, in a grand hotel one day
While dining they were chatting, in a jolly sort of way
When a pretty waitress brought them a fancy tray of food
They spoke to her familiarly in a manner rather rude
At first she did not notice, or make the least reply
But one remark was passed that brought teardrops to her eyes
And facing her tormentors, with her cheeks now burnin' red
She looked the perfect picture as appealingly she said
My Mother was a lady and yours, you will allow
And you may have a sister who needs protection now
I've come to this great city to find a brother dear
And you'd dare not insult me, sir, if Jack were only here
It's just one touch of nature
But it makes the whole world kin
And every word she uttered seemed to touch their hearts within
They sat there stunned in silence, until one cried in shame
Forgive me, miss, I meant no harm, pray tell me what's your name
She told him and he cried, I know your brother too
Why we've been friends for many years and he often speaks of you
He'll be so glad to see you and if you'll only wed
I'll take you to him as my wife for I've loved you since you said
My Mother was a lady like yours, you will allow
And you may have a sister who needs protection now
I've come to this great city to find a brother dear
And you'd dare not insult me, sir, if Jack were only here
While dining they were chatting, in a jolly sort of way
When a pretty waitress brought them a fancy tray of food
They spoke to her familiarly in a manner rather rude
At first she did not notice, or make the least reply
But one remark was passed that brought teardrops to her eyes
And facing her tormentors, with her cheeks now burnin' red
She looked the perfect picture as appealingly she said
My Mother was a lady and yours, you will allow
And you may have a sister who needs protection now
I've come to this great city to find a brother dear
And you'd dare not insult me, sir, if Jack were only here

And every word she uttered seemed to touch their hearts within

Forgive me, miss, I meant no harm, pray tell me what's your name

See the man in the bookshop
See his withered hand
He walks very slowly
Never stands in crowds
Children stand in wonder
As he turns and walks away
Closely guards the secret
Of the fury in his eyes
He's the man with the midas touch (*)
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the midas touch
He's got the fury in his eyes
He looks so innocent
As he shuffles down the street
But he is the holy sentinel
That guards the gates of Hades
To stop the Lord of Darkness
Coming straight from Hell
The bringer of disaster
The one who took the bread
(Repeat *)
Until the final conflict
He has to walk the earth
To do his master's bidding
And stop the evil force
He waits for Armageddon
The Nazarene will come
Rising from the ashes
Of the fallen one
(Repeat * three times)
See his withered hand
He walks very slowly
Never stands in crowds
Children stand in wonder
As he turns and walks away
Closely guards the secret
Of the fury in his eyes
He's the man with the midas touch (*)
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the midas touch
He's got the fury in his eyes
He looks so innocent
As he shuffles down the street
But he is the holy sentinel
That guards the gates of Hades
To stop the Lord of Darkness
Coming straight from Hell
The bringer of disaster
The one who took the bread
(Repeat *)
Until the final conflict
He has to walk the earth
To do his master's bidding
And stop the evil force
He waits for Armageddon
The Nazarene will come
Rising from the ashes
Of the fallen one
(Repeat * three times)
