Monster Mash

Watch your step

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
When my monster, from its slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise (wa woo)

He did the mash
He did the monster mash
And it's 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 (wa woo)
To the master bedroom, where the vampires feast (wa woo)
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes (wa woo oh)
To get a jolt from my electrodes (oh)

They did the mash, they did the monster mash (the monster mash)
And it's a graveyard smash
He did the mash, they caught on in a flash (he did the mash)
They 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"

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

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 now the mash
It's caught on in a flash (it's now the mash)
It's now 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 only sent you

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)
You can monster mash
(Wa woo, oh oh woo, wa woo, oh oh oh, wa oh oh woo, wa woo, oh oh oh)
