Monster Mash
Monster Mash Lyrics

I was working in the lab late one night
The singer was in their laboratory, working until late at night.

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
Suddenly, the singer spotted something that was eerie or unnerving.

For my monster from his slab began to rise
A monster that the singer had created began to come to life.

And suddenly to my surprise
This event was a complete shock to the artist.

(He did the mash)
The monster began to dance the 'monster mash'.

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