MONSTER MASH 
Bobby Boris Pickett


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 abode 
To get a jolt from my electrode. 

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 Wolfman, 
Dracula and his son. 

The scene was rocking, all were digging the sound 
Igor on chains backed by his baying hounds 
The Coffin Baggers were about to arrive 
With their vocal group, The Cryptkicker Five 

They played the mash 
They played the monster mash 
the monster the 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 
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 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 

Grrrr... mash.... 
Easy Igor, you impetuous vampire.
