Monster Mash
Bobby Pickett
G+G
I was working in the lab late one night
E minorEm
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
Am7Am7
For my monster from his slab began to rise
D MajorD
And suddenly to my surprise
G+G
[He did the mash] He did the monster mash
E minorEm
[The monster mash] It was a graveyard smash
C majorC
[He did the mash] It caught on in a flash
D MajorD
[He did the mash] He did the monster mash
G+G
From my laboratory in the castle east
E minorEm
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
Am7Am7
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
D MajorD
To get a jolt from my electrodes
G+G
[They did the mash] They did the monster mash
E minorEm
[The monster mash] It was a graveyard smash
C majorC
[They did the mash] It caught on in a flash
D MajorD
[They did the mash] They did the monster mash
C majorC D MajorD
The zombies were having fun, the party had just begun
C majorC D MajorD [tacet]
The guests included Wolf Man, Dracula and his son
G+G
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
E minorEm
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
Am7Am7
The Coffin-Bangers were about to arrive
D MajorD
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"
G+G
[They played the mash] They played the monster mash
E minorEm
[The monster mash] It was a graveyard smash
C majorC
[They played the mash] It caught on in a flash
D MajorD
[They played the mash] They played the monster mash
G+G
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
E minorEm
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
Am7Am7
He opened the lid and shook his fist and said
D MajorD [tacet]
"Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"
G+G
[It's now the mash] It's now the monster mash
E minorEm
[The monster mash] And it's a graveyard smash
C majorC
[It's now the mash] It's caught on in a flash
D MajorD
[It's now the mash] It's now the monster mash
G+G
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
E minorEm
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
Am7Am7
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
D MajorD [tacet]
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
G+G
[Then you can mash] Then you can monster mash
E minorEm
[The monster mash] And do my graveyard smash
C majorC
[Then you can mash] You'll catch on in a flash
D MajorD
[Then you can mash] Then you can monster mash
