Halloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the mash, he did the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
He did the mash, it caught on in a flash
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
They did the mash, they did the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
They did the mash, it caught on in a flash
They did the mash, they did the monster mash
The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolfman
Dracula, and his son
Now the scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, 'The Crypt-Kicker Five'
They played the mash, they played the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
They played the mash, it caught on in a flash
They played the mash, they played the monster mash
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He Opened the lid and shook his fist and said
"Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist? "
It's now the mash, it's now the monster mash
The monster mash, it was graveyard smash
It's now the mash, it caught on in a flash
It's now the mash, it's now the monster mash
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
Then you can mash, then you can monster mash
The monster mash, and do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash, you'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash, then you can monster mash
Then you can mash
The monster mash
Have you ordered the brains today Igor
Then you can mash
Then you can mash
Then you can mash
It's okay, you can let her go now
She's been in there for seventeen years
Then you can mash
Then you can mash
The song "Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett is a classic Halloween hit that has continued to captivate listeners since its release in 1962. The song tells the story of a mad scientist who creates a monster from his laboratory and is delighted to see the creature become animated and start dancing to the "mash." The monster becomes so popular that other ghouls and creatures join in, including Wolfman, Dracula, and his son. The party starts to rock, and the music becomes a hit called the "Monster Mash," which remains a hit of the land.
The song is both fun and spooky, with its catchy, upbeat melody and clever lyrics that reference classic horror movie characters. The theme of the song is the celebration of Halloween and the joy of watching monsters come to life and groove to the music.
