Monster Mash    (1962)

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
(He did the 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 electrodes

(They did the mash) They did the monster mash
(They did the 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 Cryptkicker Five

(They played the mash) They played the monster mash
(They played the 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
(It's now the mash) And it's a 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

(And you can mash) And you can monster mash
(And you can mash) It was a graveyard smash
(And you can mash) It caught on in a flash
(And you can mash) And you can monster mash

Lyrics by Lenny Capizi and Bobby Pickett.
Recorded by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Cryptkickers.
