Monster Mash
Bobby “Boris” Pickett Lyrics

I was working in the lab late one night
I was working in my laboratory during the late hours of night

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
When suddenly, I saw a strange and creepy vision

For my monster from his slab began to rise
For my monster that I had created began to awaken from his slab

And suddenly to my surprise
And to my surprise, without warning

He did the mash, he did the monster mash
My monster began to dance and perform a new dance called 'Monster Mash'

The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
'Monster Mash' quickly became a popular and energetic dance among the creatures of the graveyard

He did the mash, it caught on in a flash
The 'Monster Mash' dance quickly became popular among all of the creatures, spreading like wildfire

From my laboratory in the castle east
From my laboratory that is situated in a castle to the east

To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
To the main bedroom were the vampires eat their meals

The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
All the ghouls left their homes and gathered together

To get a jolt from my electrodes
To experience a shock from my electronics

They did the mash, they did the monster mash
All of the creatures at the party joined in the dance, performing the 'Monster Mash'

The zombies were having fun
The zombies were enjoying themselves at the party

The party had just begun
The party was only getting started

The guests included Wolf Man
Among the guests that attended the party was the Wolf Man

Dracula and his son
Dracula and his son were also at the party

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
The atmosphere was lively, and everyone enjoyed the music

Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
Igor was restrained with chains and accompanied by his howling hounds

The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
A group of musicians called 'The Coffin-Bangers' were on their way to the party

With their vocal group, 'The Crypt-Kicker Five'
The Coffin-Bangers were accompanied by their vocal group called 'The Crypt-Kicker Five'

They played the mash, they played the monster mash
The Coffin-Bangers started playing the music for the 'Monster Mash' dance

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Dracula opened his coffin and began to speak

Seems he was troubled by just one thing
Dracula was bothered by only one matter

He opened the lid and shook his fist
Dracula raised the lid of his coffin and angrily shook his fist

And said, 'Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?'
Dracula questioned what happened to his famous 'Transylvania Twist' dance

It's now the mash, it's now the monster mash
I explained to Dracula that now the new dance is 'Monster Mash'

The monster mash and it's a graveyard smash
The 'Monster Mash' has become extremely popular and energetic dance among all the creatures of the graveyard

It's now the mash, it caught on in a flash
I explained that the popularity of 'Monster Mash' quickly spread among all the creatures, becoming an instant hit

It's now the mash, it's now the monster mash
I repeatedly expressed that 'Monster Mash' has now become the new popular dance

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
Now everything is fine as Dracula has joined the party, becoming a member of the band

And my monster mash is the hit of the land
'Monster Mash' is now the most popular dance in the graveyard after catching on quickly with everyone

For you, the living, this mash was meant too
This dance was meant for not only the creatures of the graveyard but also for the living

When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
If you come to my laboratory in the castle, tell them that Boris sent you

Then you can mash, then you can monster mash
When you arrive at the party, you too can join in on the 'Monster Mash' dance

The monster mash and do my graveyard smash
You can also perform my signature dance move and help make the 'Monster Mash' dance even more popular

Then you can mash, you'll catch on in a flash
I guarantee that you will quickly catch on to the steps of the 'Monster Mash' dance

Then you can mash, then you can monster mash
You too can join in on the 'Monster Mash' dance and have fun just like all of the creatures at the party
