Monster Mash
Bobby "Boris" Pickett & The Crypt-Kickers Lyrics

(I was working in the lab, late one night)
I was working in a laboratory at night.

(When my eyes beheld an eerie sight)
I saw something that was strange and spooky.

(For my monster from his slab, began to rise)
A monster that I had created came to life.

(And suddenly to my surprise)
I was surprised by what I had witnessed.

(He did the mash) he did the monster mash
He did a dance called the monster mash.

(The monster mash) it was a graveyard smash
The dance was very popular and people danced to it in a graveyard.

(He did the mash) it caught on in a flash
The dance became popular quickly.

(He did the mash) he did the monster mash
He continued to do the dance called the monster mash.

(Wa-ooh) from my laboratory in the castle east
