Monster Mash
Bobby ''Boris'' Pickett Lyrics

I was working in the lab, late one night
As I spent my late hours working in my lab

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
I witnessed a very strange and spooky phenomenon

For my monster from his slab, began to rise
The monster that I had created started to awaken from its sleep

And suddenly to my surprise
And at that exact moment, to my amazement

(He did the mash) he did the monster mash
The monster started dancing a certain dance known as the monster mash

(The monster mash) it was a graveyard smash
This dance became viral and was a huge hit among monsters

(He did the mash) it caught on in a flash
The dance spread rapidly and became popular in no time

(He did the mash) he did the monster mash
The monster kept dancing the same dance repeatedly

(Wa-ooh) From my laboratory in the castle east
My lab was located in the eastern part of the castle

(Wa-ooh) To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The vampires would hang out and party in the master bedroom

(Wa-wa-ooh) The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
The ghouls came from their own modest homes to join the party

(Wa-ooh) To get a jolt from my electrodes
They came to witness the power generated by the electrodes in my lab

(They did the mash) they did the monster mash
All the monsters at the party started dancing the monster mash

(The monster mash) it was a graveyard smash
The monster mash was having a huge impact on the partygoers

(They did the mash) it caught on in a flash
The dance quickly became popular among all the monsters

(They did the mash) they did the monster mash
The monsters could not resist the urge to dance to the monster mash

(Wa-ooh) The zombies were having fun
The zombies were enjoying themselves very much

(Tennis shoe wa-ooh) The party had just begun
The party had only just started and yet good times were already being had by all

(Tennis shoe wa-ooh) The guests included Wolfman
The guest list included even such terrifying beings as the Wolfman

(Tennis shoe wa-ooh) Dracula, and his son
The famous Dracula and his offspring were also in attendance

(Wa-ooh) The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Everyone was really into the beat of the music that was playing

(Wa-ooh) Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
Igor, who was chained at that moment, was playing music while his dogs were howling to it

(Wa-wa-ooh) The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
The group of people who play music on coffins were on their way

(Wa-ooh) With their vocal group, The Crypt-Kicker Five
They were accompanied by the Crypt-Kicker Five, a group of singers

(They played the mash) they played the monster mash
All the musicians started playing the song of the monster mash

(The monster mash) it was a graveyard smash
The song became an iconic monster melody and everyone was having a great time dancing to it

(They played the mash) it caught on in a flash
The tune became a real crowd-pleaser and everyone started to appreciate it immediately

(They played the mash) they played the monster mash
The musician crew kept playing the song non-stop

(Wa-ooh) out from his coffin', Drac's voice did ring
Dracula, who was in his coffin, called out to everyone

(Wa-ooh) seems he was troubled by just one thing
He appeared to be agitated about something that was bothering him

(Wa-wa-ooh) opened the lid and shook his fist and said
He opened his coffin and aggressively expressed his complaint

(Wa-ooh) Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?
He was asking why his original dance, called the Transylvania Twist, was not played anymore

(It's now the mash) it's now the monster mash
Someone pointed out that the monster mash was now the new dance craze for monsters

(The monster mash) and it's a graveyard smash
The monster mash had become an immensely popular dance among all monsters

(It's now the mash) it's caught on in a flash
The dance became an instant hit and everyone started to follow the lead

(It's now the mash) it's now the monster mash
The craze for the monster mash took over and everyone started to mimic the dance moves

(Wa-ooh) Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
Dracula was finally content now that he was part of the crew

(Wa-ooh) And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
The monster mash had officially become the nation's favorite monster tune

(Wa-wa-ooh) For you, the living this mash was meant to
This hit tune was meant for the living people in the world

(Wa-ooh) When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
If you happen to come over to my place, just let them know that I sent you

(Then you can mash) then you can monster mash
Once you arrive, you can join the party and dance the monster mash

(The monster mash) and do my graveyard smash
You can enjoy the hip tune and dance your fear away

(Then you can mash) you'll catch on in a flash
You'll immediately love the song and dance along like everyone else

(Then you can mash) then you can monster mash
Everyone will have a great time enjoying the monster mash

(Wa-ooh, monster mash)
The hit monster tune continued to play and played out the remaining beats for the song

"Mash good" (Wa-ooh, monster mash)
Someone acknowledged that the monster mash was good

"Easy, Igor, you impetuous young boy" (Wa-ooh, monster mash)
Someone cautioned and advised Igor, who was getting too enthusiastic

"Mash good, grr" (Wa-ooh, monster mash)
Someone commented, adding an animal-like growl, about how great the monster mash was

(Wa-ooh, monster mash)
The song ended, with the tune still fresh in everyone's mind
