Monster Mash
Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kickers Lyrics

I was working in the lab late one night
Late at night I was busy doing research and experiments in my laboratory

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

For my monster from his slab began to rise
The creature I had been working on started to come to life

And suddenly to my surprise
I was amazed by what I saw happening before me

He did the mash
The monster was dancing in a unique way

He did the monster mash
The monster dance was called the Monster Mash

The monster mash
The dance that the monster was doing

It was a graveyard smash
The Monster Mash was a huge success, especially among the supernatural beings

He did the mash
The monster continued to dance the Monster Mash

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

He did the mash
The monster continued to dance the Monster Mash

He did the monster mash
The dance was named after the monster who originated it, hence the Monster Mash

From my laboratory in the castle east
My laboratory was located in an old castle in the eastern part of the country

To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The bedroom where the master vampire feeds was also part of my castle

The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
All the ghouls, spirits and other supernatural beings emerged from their homes to come to my party

To get a jolt from my electrodes
They came to try the electricity in my laboratory

They did the mash
All the supernatural beings joined in, and they too danced the Monster Mash

They did the monster mash
The creatures were copying the Monster's dance moves and adding their own flavor to it

The monster mash
The dance that everyone was copying

It was a graveyard smash
As the party continued, the dance became so popular that it was spreading like wildfire

They did the mash
The creatures continued to dance the Monster Mash

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

They did the mash
The creatures continued to dance the Monster Mash

They did the monster mash
Everyone joined in the Monster Mash dance craze, even the zombies

The zombies were having fun
Even the zombies, who are usually known for being lifeless and scary, were enjoying the party and having a good time

The party had just begun
The party was only getting started and there was still more fun to be had

The guests included Wolf Man
Other supernatural creatures like the Wolf Man were present at the party

Dracula and his son
Dracula and his son were also among the guests

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
The party was lively and everyone was enjoying the music being played

Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
Igor, my assistant, was leading the party with his hounds barking along to the music

The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
More guests, the Coffin-bangers, were about to join the party

With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"
The new guests also arrived with their own music group called 'The Crypt-Kicker Five'

They played the mash
'The Crypt-Kicker Five' played the Monster Mash music for everyone to enjoy

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Dracula emerged from his coffin, and called out to ask about one particular dance called the Transylvania Twist

Seems he was troubled by just one thing
Dracula was worried about something in particular

He opened the lid and shook his fist
Dracula angrily opened the lid of his coffin and shook his fist to express his frustration

And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist"
Dracula was disappointed that his favorite dance, the Transylvania Twist, was not getting any attention at the party

It's now the mash
However, the popularity of the Monster Mash at the party had overshadowed the Transylvania Twist dance

It's now the monster mash
The popularity of the Monster Mash had grown even more than before

And my monster mash is the hit of the land
The Monster Mash dance had become wildly successful and was now the biggest thing in the country

For you, the living, this mash was meant too
