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 electrodes 



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 Wolf Man 

Dracula and his son 



The scene was rockin', 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 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 

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
