Monster Mash

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from the slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
(He 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 and 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 Cryptkickers Five
(They played the mash) They did my monster mash
(The monster mash) Arrgh, it was a graveyard smash
(They played the mash) It caught on in a flash
(They played the mash) They did 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 he 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) Arrgh, it's a graveyard smash
(It's now the mash) Mmm, you'll catch on in a flash
(It's now the mash) They did my monster mash
Now everything's cool, Drac's part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, the mash was meant too
When you get to my door tell them Boris sent you
(Then you can mash) To do the monster mash
(The monster mash) Arrgh, it's a graveyard smash
(Then you can mash) Ah, you'll catch on in a flash
(Then you can mash) Arrgh, do my monster mash
Arrgh, that's, arrgh, good, easy you all
Impetuous young boy
