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)
