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

I was working in the lab, late one night
I was working in my lab late at night

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
When I saw something strange and spooky

For my monster from his slab, began to rise
The monster that I created in the lab started to come to life

And suddenly to my surprise
And then unexpectedly

He did the mash, he did the monster mash
The monster began to dance to the music

The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
The type of dance he did was popular and became known as the monster mash

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

From my laboratory in the castle east
My lab is located in a castle somewhere to the east

To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
From there, you can go to the bedroom where the vampires eat

The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
The ghosts and ghouls all came from their homes

To get a jolt from my electrodes
To get a shock from the machines I created

The zombies were having fun
The zombies were enjoying themselves

The party had just begun
The party had just started

The guests included Wolfman
The guests included the Wolfman

Dracula, and his son
Dracula and his child were also there

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Everyone at the party was enjoying the music

Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
My assistant Igor was playing music while being held in chains by his dogs

The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
The people who played music by banging on coffins were on their way

With their vocal group, The Crypt-Kicker Five
They came with their band, The Crypt-Kicker Five

Out from his coffin', Drac's voice did ring
Dracula came out of his coffin and spoke loudly

Seems he was troubled by just one thing
Dracula was unhappy about something

He opened the lid and shook his fist and said
He opened the lid of his coffin and raised his fist while talking

"Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?
"What happened to my dance, the Transylvania Twist?

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
Now, everything is okay and Dracula is part of the band

And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
My song "Monster Mash" is very popular

For you, the living this mash was meant too
This song and dance were meant for the living people too

When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
If you come to my house, tell them that Boris sent you

Then you can mash, then you can monster mash
Then you can do the dance, the monster mash

The monster mash and do my graveyard smash
You can do the monster mash dance with me

Then you can mash, you'll catch on in a flash
You'll easily learn the dance and enjoy it

Then you can mash, then you can monster mash
Then you can do the dance, the monster mash

Mash good
Dance well and enjoy yourself

Easy, Igor, you impetuous young boy
Calm down, Igor, you're acting foolishly

Mash good, grr
Dance well and have fun
