Monster Mash
Bobby (Boris) Pickett & The Crypt Kickers Lyrics

I was working in the lab late one night
I was experimenting in my laboratory very late at night.

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
At that time, I saw something that frightened me.

For my monster from his slab began to rise
After I created my monster, it started to come alive from its bed.

And suddenly to my surprise
To my astonishment, it came up suddenly.

He did the mash
The monster began to dance.

He did the monster mash
The monster did a dance called the monster mash.

The monster mash
The dance called the monster mash.

It was a graveyard smash
The dance became very popular among the ghosts.

He did the mash
The monster proceeded with the dance.

It caught on in a flash
The dance gained fast popularity.

He did the mash
The monster did the dance again.

He did the monster mash
The monster repeated the dance because he enjoyed it.

From my laboratory in the castle east
My laboratory is located in the eastern section of the castle.

To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
From my lab to the master bedchamber, the vampires like to eat there.

The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
The ghouls came from their modest homes.

To get a jolt from my electrodes
They wanted to experience a shock from my electronic equipment.

They did the mash
All of them started to perform the dance.

They did the monster mash
They did the dance called the monster mash.

The monster mash
A dance called the monster mash.

It was a graveyard smash
The dance became well-known among the ghosts.

They did the mash
They continued to do the dance.

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

They did the mash
They did the dance called the monster mash.

They did the monster mash
They performed the dance called the monster mash.

The zombies were having fun
The zombies were enjoying themselves.

The party had just begun
The party had only just started.

The guests included Wolf Man
Wolf Man was one of the attendees.

Dracula and his son
Dracula and his son were present.

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

Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
Igor was chained to something and was supported by his barking dogs.

The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
The coffin-bangers were getting close to coming in.

With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"
With the help of their singing group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five".

They played the mash
The music group played the song while the dance was going on.

They played the monster mash
The music group played the song called monster mash.

The monster mash
The song called monster mash.

It was a graveyard smash
The song became very famous among the ghosts.

They played the mash
Again, the music group played the song to continue the dance.

It caught on in a flash
The song became very popular very suddenly.

They played the mash
The band played the song again.

They played the monster mash
The band played the song called monster mash.

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
As Dracula came out of his coffin, his voice echoed aloud.

Seems he was troubled by just one thing
It appears that he was disturbed by one thing.

He opened the lid and shook his fist
He lifted the lid and shook his hand aggressively.

And said, 'Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist'
He inquired, 'What happened to my dance called Transylvania twist?'
