[Verse 1]
G
I was working in the lab late one night,
Em
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight.
C
For my monster from his slab began to rise,
D
And suddenly to my surprise.
[Chorus]
G
He did the mash, he did the monster mash.
Em
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash.
C
He did the mash, it caught on in a flash.
D
He did the mash, he did the monster mash.
[Verse 2]
G
From my laboratory in the castle east,
Em
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast.
C
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes,
D
To catch a jolt from my electrodes.
[Chorus]
G
They did the mash, they did the monster mash.
Em
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash.
C
They did the mash, it caught on in a flash.
D
They did the mash, they did the monster mash.
[Bridge]
C D
The zombies were having fun… the party had just begun.
C D N.C.
The guests included Wolf Man… Dracula and his son.
[Verse 3]
G
The scene was rockin’, all were digging the sounds,
Em
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds.
C
The Coffin-Bangers were about to arrive,
D
With their vocal group, “The Crypt-Kicker Five.”
[Chorus]
G
They played the mash, they played the monster mash.
Em
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash.
C
They played the mash, it caught on in a flash.
D
They played the mash, they played the monster mash.
[Verse 4]
G
Out from his coffin, Drac’s voice did ring.
Em
Seems he was troubled by just one thing.
C
He opened the lid and shook his fist,
D N.C.
And said, “Whatever happened to my Transylvanian Twist?”
[Chorus]
G
It’s now the mash, it’s now the monster mash.
Em
The monster mash, and it’s a graveyard smash.
C
It’s now the mash, it’s caught on in a flash.
D
It’s now the mash, it’s now the monster mash.
[Verse 5]
G
Now everything’s cool, Drac’s a part of the band,
Em
And my monster mash is the hit of the land.
C
For you, the living, this mash was meant too,
D N.C.
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you.
[Chorus]
G
Then you can mash, then you can monster mash.
Em
The monster mash, and do my graveyard smash.
C
Then you can mash, you’ll catch on in a flash,
D
Then you can mash, then you can monster mash.
