Monster Mash

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
My monster from its 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
The monster mash
He did the monster mash

From the laboratory in the castle east
From the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abode
To get a jolt from my electrode

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
The monster mash
They did the monster mash

The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included the Wolfman
Dracula and his son

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sound
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hound
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their local group, the Crypt-Kicker Five

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
The monster mash
They did the monster mash

And up from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
It seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and he shook his fist
And he said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"

Now it's the mash
Yes, it's the monster mash
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash
Now it's the mash
It caught on in a flash
The monster mash
It's the monster mash

Now everything's cool, Drac's part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
And for you, the living, the mash was meant too
So when you get to the door, tell them Bobby sent you

You do the mash
You'll do the monster mash
The monster mash
It's a graveyard smash
You do the mash
It caught on in a flash
The monster mash
Yes, it's the monster mash

Igor, Igor, come to me Igor
I need to speak to you
Now let me know the next step of the mash
Don't forget to follow through with the follow through
So it's a very, very groovy thing
