I was working in the lab, late one night,
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
He did the mash, He did the monster mash

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 electrode

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.

The scene was rocking, all were digging the sounds,
Igor on chains backed by his baying hounds,
The coffin draggers 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,
It 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 And it's a graveyard smash,
It's now the mash It's 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
