Monster Mash
Bobby (Boris) Pickett And The Crypt-Kickers Lyrics

I was working in the lab, late one night
I was laboring in the laboratory, during the late hours of the night.

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
I saw something strange.

For my monster from his slab, began to rise
My creation, known as a monster, began to stir from its resting place.

And suddenly to my surprise
To my amazement.

(He did the mash) he did the monster mash
He danced the Monster Mash.

(The monster mash) it was a graveyard smash
It was a massive hit and a notable occasion.

(He did the mash) it caught on in a flash
It quickly became popular.

(He did the mash) he did the monster mash
He danced the Monster Mash.

(Wa-ooh) From my laboratory in the castle east
The place where I work is in the East, in a dark castle.

(Wa-ooh) To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
From there to the main bedroom where the vampires feast.

(Wa-wa-ooh) The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
The ghosts left where they live to join the party.

(Wa-ooh) To get a jolt from my electrodes
To get stimulated by the apparatus that I use.

(They did the mash) they did the monster mash
They danced the Monster Mash.

(The monster mash) it was a graveyard smash
It was a massive hit and a notable occasion.

(They did the mash) it caught on in a flash
It quickly became popular.

(They did the mash) they did the monster mash
They danced the Monster Mash.

(Wa-ooh) The zombies were having fun
The reanimated corpses were enjoying themselves.

(Tennis shoe wa-ooh) The party had just begun
The celebration had recently commenced.

(Tennis shoe wa-ooh) The guests included Wolfman
The other attendees were the Wolfman.

(Tennis shoe wa-ooh) Dracula, and his son
Also, in attendance were Dracula and his offspring.

(Wa-ooh) The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Everyone was dancing and enjoying the music.

(Wa-ooh) Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
Igor was being held captive and was accompanied by his howling dogs.

(Wa-wa-ooh) The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
The group known as the Coffin Bangers were about to arrive.

(Wa-ooh) With their vocal group, The Crypt-Kicker Five
Together with their group, The Crypt-Kicker Five.

(They played the mash) they played the monster mash
They played the Monster Mash.

(The monster mash) it was a graveyard smash
It was a massive hit and a notable occasion.

(They played the mash) it caught on in a flash
It quickly became popular.

(They played the mash) they played the monster mash
They played the Monster Mash.

(Wa-ooh) out from his coffin', Drac's voice did ring
Dracula emerged from his resting place, and his voice could be heard.

(Wa-ooh) seems he was troubled by just one thing
It appears that he had just one concern.

(Wa-wa-ooh) opened the lid and shook his fist and said
He opened the lid and raised his fist and proclaimed.

(Wa-ooh) "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?
Where is my Transylvania Twist dance move?

(It's now the mash) it's now the monster mash
Now it’s the Monster Mash.

(The monster mash) and it's a graveyard smash
It’s a massive hit and a notable occasion.

(It's now the mash) it's caught on in a flash
It quickly became popular.

(It's now the mash) it's now the monster mash
Now it’s the Monster Mash.

(Wa-ooh) Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
Now everything is good, Dracula is part of the band.

(Wa-ooh) And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
And my Monster Mash is very popular.

(Wa-wa-ooh) For you, the living this mash was meant to
This dance was meant for the living.

(Wa-ooh) When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
If you come to my place, make sure you tell them Boris sent you.

(Then you can mash) then you can monster mash
You can then dance the Monster Mash.

(The monster mash) and do my graveyard smash
And dance the Monster Mash to its full effect.

(Then you can mash) you'll catch on in a flash
You’ll learn it quickly.

(Then you can mash) then you can monster mash
You can then dance the Monster Mash.

(Wa-ooh, monster mash)

"Mash good" (Wa-ooh, monster mash)
“Dance well”

"Easy, Igor, you impetuous young boy" (Wa-ooh, monster mash)
“Calm down, Igor, you impulsive young man”
