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

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



He did the mash, he did 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



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"



He did the mash, he did the monster mash

The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash

They played the mash, it caught on in a flash

He played the mash, he did 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 the mash, it's caught on in a flash

It's the mash, it is 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 Model A sent you



Then you can mash, then you can monster mash

The monster mash, and do a graveyard smash

Then you can mash, you'll catch on in a flash

Then you can mash, then you can monster mash
