Monster Mash
Bobby (Boris) Pickett
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
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
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 get a jolt from my electrodes
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
C
The zombies were having fun
D
The party had just begun
C
The guests included Wolf Man
D
Dracula and his son
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"
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
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
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"
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
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
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
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
Then you can mash
D
Then you can monster mash
