"Monster Mash" - Bobby "Boris" Pickett

I was working in the lab late one night
When myeyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise


He did the mash
He did themonster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did themash
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 bedroomwhere the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
Toget a jolt from my electrodes


They did the mash
They did themonster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did themash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monstermash


The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son


The scenewas rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by hisbaying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocalgroup, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"


They played the mash
They playedthe monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
Theyplayed the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
Theyplayed 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 hisfist
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 aflash
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash


Noweverything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hitof the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get tomy door, tell them Boris sent you


Then you can mash
Then you canmonster mash
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
Then you canmash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash
Then you canmonster mash
