Lyrics and translation Bobby "Boris" Pickett & The Crypt Kickers - Monster Mash Party

Monster Mash Party

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.

(Wah-ooo.)
From my laboratory in the castle east,
(Wah-ooo.)
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast.
(Wah-ooo-wah-ooo.)
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes,
(Wah-ooo.)
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.

(Wah-ooooo.)
The zombies were having fun.
(Tenna-shoop, wah-ooo.)
The party had just begun.
(Tenna-shoop, wah-ooo.)
The guests included Wolf Man,
(Tenna-shoop, wah-ooo.)
Dracula and his son.

(Wah-ooo.)
The scene was rockin', all were diggin' the sounds.
(Wah-ooo.)
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds.
(Wah-ooo-wah-ooo.)
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive.
(Wah-ooo.)
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.

(Wah-ooo.)
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring,
(Wah-ooo.)
Seems he was troubled by just one thing.
(Wah-ooo-wah-ooo.)
He opened the lid and shook his fist,
(Wah-ooo.)
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.

(Wah-ooo.)
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band.
(Wah-ooo.)
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land.
(Wah-ooo-wah-ooo.)
For you, the living, this Mash was meant too,
(Wah-ooo.)
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.

(Wah-ooo.)
Mmgrrrr! (Monster Mash.)
(Wah-ooo.)
Mmmash good. (Monster Mash.)
(Wah-ooo.)
Easy, Igor, you impetuous young boy.
(Monster Mash.)
(Wah-ooo, Monster Mash.)
(Wah-ooo, Monster Mash.)

Monster Mash Party

Je travaillais tard dans le laboratoire un soir,
Quand mes yeux ont aperçu une scène étrange.
Car mon monstre de sa dalle a commencé à se lever,
Et soudainement à ma grande surprise,

(Il a fait le Mash,)
Il a fait le Monster Mash.
(Le Monster Mash,)
C'était un succès de cimetière.
(Il a fait le Mash,)
Il a fait sensation.
(Il a fait le Mash,)
Il a fait le Monster Mash.

(Wah-ooo.)
De mon laboratoire dans le château de l'est,
(Wah-ooo.)
À la chambre principale où les vampires se régalent.
(Wah-ooo-wah-ooo.)
Les goules sont toutes sorties de leurs humbles demeures,
(Wah-ooo.)
Pour obtenir une décharge de mes électrodes.

(Ils ont fait le Mash,)
Ils ont fait le Monster Mash.
(Le Monster Mash,)
C'était un succès de cimetière.
(Ils ont fait le Mash,)
Il a fait sensation.
(Ils ont fait le Mash,)
Ils ont fait le Monster Mash.

(Wah-ooooo.)
Les zombies s'amusaient bien.
(Tenna-shoop, wah-ooo.)
La fête venait de commencer.
(Tenna-shoop, wah-ooo.)
Les invités comprenaient le Loup-garou,
(Tenna-shoop, wah-ooo.)
Dracula et son fils.

(Wah-ooo.)
La scène vibrait, tout le monde adorait les sons.
(Wah-ooo.)
Igor enchaîné, soutenu par ses chiens hurleurs.
(Wah-ooo-wah-ooo.)
Les cogneurs de cercueil étaient sur le point d'arriver.
(Wah-ooo.)
Avec leur groupe vocal, "The Crypt-Kicker Five."

(Ils ont joué le Mash,)
Ils ont joué le Monster Mash.
(Le Monster Mash,)
C'était un succès de cimetière.
(Ils ont joué le Mash,)
Il a fait sensation.
(Ils ont joué le Mash,)
Ils ont joué le Monster Mash.

(Wah-ooo.)
De son cercueil, la voix de Drac a retenti,
(Wah-ooo.)
Il semblait qu'une seule chose le troublait.
(Wah-ooo-wah-ooo.)
Il a ouvert le couvercle et secoué son poing,
(Wah-ooo.)
Et a dit :
« Qu'est-il arrivé à mon twist de Transylvanie ? »

(C'est maintenant le Mash,)
C'est maintenant le Monster Mash.
(Le Monster Mash,)
Et c'est un succès de cimetière.
(C'est maintenant le Mash,)
Il a fait sensation.
(C'est maintenant le Mash,)
C'est maintenant le Monster Mash.

(Wah-ooo.)
Maintenant tout est cool, Drac fait partie du groupe.
(Wah-ooo.)
Et mon Monster Mash est le hit du pays.
(Wah-ooo-wah-ooo.)
Pour toi, la vivante, ce Mash était fait pour toi aussi,
(Wah-ooo.)
Lorsque tu arriveras à ma porte, dis-leur que Boris t'a envoyé.

(Alors tu peux Mash,)
Alors tu peux Monster Mash.
(Le Monster Mash,)
Et fais mon succès de cimetière.
(Alors tu peux Mash,)
Tu feras sensation.
(Alors tu peux Mash,)
Alors tu peux Monster Mash.

(Wah-ooo.)
Mmgrrrr ! (Monster Mash.)
(Wah-ooo.)
Mmmash good. (Monster Mash.)
(Wah-ooo.)
Facile, Igor, tu es un jeune garçon impétueux.
(Monster Mash.)
(Wah-ooo, Monster Mash.)
(Wah-ooo, Monster Mash.)
