Monster Mash
Bobby Pickett

      G
I was working in the lab late one night
        Em
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
       Am7
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
    Am7
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                            D
The zombies were having fun, the party had just begun
    C                         D [tacet]
The guests included Wolf Man, Dracula and his son

    G
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Em
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
    Am7
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
   Am7
He opened the lid and shook his fist and said
D [tacet]
   "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
    Am7
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
         D [tacet]
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
              D
[Then you can mash]     Then you can monster mash
