Monster Mash
Bobby Pickett & the Crypt Kickers Lyrics

I was working in the lab, late one night
The singer tells us when the story takes place.

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
The singer describes the strange thing he saw.

For my monster from his slab, began to rise
The singer's monster starts to move.

And suddenly to my surprise
The artist is shocked by what he sees.

(He did the mash) he did the monster mash
The monster starts dancing.

(The monster mash) it was a graveyard smash
The song about the monster dancing becomes really popular.

(He did the mash) it caught on in a flash
Everyone starts copying the monster's dance moves.

(He did the mash) he did the monster mash
The monster keeps dancing.

(Wa-ooh) From my laboratory in the castle east
The artist tells us where he was when he saw the monster.

(Wa-ooh) To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The artist tells us a bit about the vampires.

(Wa-wa-ooh) The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
The singer tells us about the ghouls.

(Wa-ooh) To get a jolt from my electrodes
The ghouls want to try the artist's experiments.

(They did the mash) they did the monster mash
Now everyone is dancing the monster mash.

(The monster mash) it was a graveyard smash
The song is still really popular.

(They did the mash) it caught on in a flash
People are still copying the monster's dance moves.

(They did the mash) they did the monster mash
The party continues.

(Wa-ooh) The zombies were having fun
The artist tells us about the zombies' behavior.

(Tennis shoe wa-ooh) The party had just begun
The party is just getting started.

(Tennis shoe wa-ooh) The guests included Wolfman
The singer lists some of the guests.

(Tennis shoe wa-ooh) Dracula, and his son
The artist continues listing the guests.

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

(Wa-ooh) Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The artist describes some of the characters at the party.

(Wa-wa-ooh) The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
The singer tells us about another group of guests arriving.

(Wa-ooh) With their vocal group, The Crypt-Kicker Five
The artist introduces the next group of guests.

(They played the mash) they played the monster mash
The band starts playing the monster mash.

(The monster mash) it was a graveyard smash
The song is still really popular.

(They played the mash) it caught on in a flash
People start dancing the monster mash again.

(They played the mash) they played the monster mash
The party is still going strong.

(Wa-ooh) out from his coffin', Drac's voice did ring
Dracula speaks up.

(Wa-ooh) seems he was troubled by just one thing
Dracula has a problem.

(Wa-wa-ooh) opened the lid and shook his fist and said
Dracula is angry.

(Wa-ooh) "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?
Dracula misses his old dance moves.

(It's now the mash) it's now the monster mash
The artist explains that the monster mash is now more popular than the Transylvania Twist.

(The monster mash) and it's a graveyard smash
The song is still really popular.

(It's now the mash) it's caught on in a flash
Everyone is dancing the monster mash.

(It's now the mash) it's now the monster mash
The party is still going strong.

(Wa-ooh) Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
Dracula has joined in the fun.

(Wa-ooh) And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
The song is really famous now.

(Wa-wa-ooh) For you, the living this mash was meant to
The singer tells the audience who the song is for.

(Wa-ooh) When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
The artist invites the audience to his lab.

(Then you can mash) then you can monster mash
Anyone who comes to the party can dance the monster mash.

(The monster mash) and do my graveyard smash
The song is still really popular.

(Then you can mash) you'll catch on in a flash
Everyone will start dancing the monster mash.

(Then you can mash) then you can monster mash
The party never ends!

(Wa-ooh, monster mash)
The song plays on.

"Mash good" (Wa-ooh, monster mash)
The guests are enjoying the party.

"Easy, Igor, you impetuous young boy" (Wa-ooh, monster mash)
The singer addresses one of the guests.

"Mash good, grr" (Wa-ooh, monster mash)
One of the guests responds to the artist.

(Wa-ooh, monster mash)
The song plays on.

(Wa-ooh, monster mash)
The song plays on.

(Wa-ooh)
The song ends.
