BORIS S. & GREG SILVER Lyrics

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

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
I saw something strange that gave me a spooky feeling.

For my monster from his slab, began to rise
My monster began to awaken from the table where he was lying.

And suddenly to my surprise
It happened quickly and unexpectedly.

He did the mash, he did the monster mash
The monster started dancing the Monster Mash.

The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
The dance became popular and was enjoyed by many at the graveyard.

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

From my laboratory in the castle east
I had a laboratory located in a castle to the east.

To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
From the laboratory I went to the master bedroom where the vampires were eating.

The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
The ghouls came from their houses to join the party.

To get a jolt from my electrodes
They wanted to feel the electric shock from my electrodes.

They did the mash, they did the monster mash
The ghouls started dancing the Monster Mash too.

The zombies were having fun, the party had just begun
The zombies were enjoying themselves as the party had just started.

The guests included Wolfman, Dracula, and his son
Wolfman, Dracula, and his son were in attendance as guests.

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Everyone was having a great time enjoying the music.

Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
Igor was chained up and his baying hounds were supporting him.

The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
The coffin-bangers were going to join the party soon.

With their vocal group, 'The Crypt-Kicker Five'
The coffin-bangers came together with their singing group called The Crypt-Kicker Five.

They played the mash, they played the monster mash
The coffin-bangers played the Monster Mash music for everyone to dance to.

Out from his coffin', Drac's voice did ring
Dracula spoke from his coffin.

Seems he was troubled by just one thing
Dracula had something on his mind that was bothering him.

He opened the lid and shook his fist and said
Dracula opened his coffin lid and angrily shook his fist.

"Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?
Dracula was wondering about his old dance move called the Transylvania Twist.

It's now the mash, it's now the monster mash
Nowadays, the Monster Mash is more popular than the Transylvania Twist.

It was graveyard smash
The dance party was a great success.

It caught on in a flash
The dance party became very popular very quickly.

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
Dracula is now part of the music band, and everything is great.

And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
The Monster Mash song became very popular and well-liked.

For you, the living this mash was meant too
The Monster Mash dance was created for both the living and the undead.

When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
When you arrive at my house, tell them that Boris referred you.

Then you can mash, then you can monster mash
You can join the party and dance the Monster Mash.

The monster mash and do my graveyard smash
You can dance the Monster Mash to have fun.

Then you can mash, you'll catch on in a flash
You will quickly learn how to dance the Monster Mash.

Then you can mash, then you can monster mash
You can have fun by dancing the Monster Mash.

Mash good!
Have fun dancing the Monster Mash!

Easy, Igor, you impetuous young boy
Stay calm, Igor, you enthusiastic young man.

Mash good! Grrr!
Have a great time dancing the Monster Mash!
