"He did the mash! He did the monster mash. The monster mash! It was a graveyard smash. He did the mash! He 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 guest included the Wolfman, Dracula, and his son."

"Now everything's cool, tracks of the band, and my monster mash is the hit of the land. For you, the living, this mash was made too. When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you."

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 Monster Mash (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 adobes

To get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the Monster Mash (the Monster Mash)

It was a graveyard smash (they did the Mash)

It caught on in a flash (they did the Mash)

They did the Monster Mash

The zombies were having fun

The party had just begun

The guests included Wold-Man, Dracula, and his son

The scene was rocking, 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 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

Opened the lid and shook his fist and said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"

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 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 Boris sent you

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)

Then you can Monster Mash

Mash good!

Easy, Igor, you impetuous, young boy

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 Monster Mash (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 adobes

To get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the Monster Mash (the Monster Mash)

It was a graveyard smash (they did the Mash)

It caught on in a flash (they did the Mash)

They did the Monster Mash

The zombies were having fun

The party had just begun

The guests included Wold-Man, Dracula, and his son

The scene was rocking, 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 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

Opened the lid and shook his fist and said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"

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 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 Boris sent you

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)

Then you can Monster Mash

"Whatever happened to my Transylvanian twist?"

"They were up to no good, didn't act like good monsters should. They found themselves a new play, they planned to rob Santa's sleigh. They were making a list and checking it twice."

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

The Monster Mash

It was a graveyeard smash

He did the Mash

It caught on in a flash

He did the Mash

He did the Monster Mash

[Alvin and Theodore vocalize] From my laboratory in the castle east

To the master bedroom where the vampires feast

The ghouls all came from their humble abodes

To catch a jolt from my electrodes

They did the Mash

They did the Monster Mash

The Monster Mash

It was a graveyeard smash

And you can Mash

It caught on in a flash

He did the Mash

He did the Monster Mash

[Alvin and Theodore vocalize] From my laboratory in the castle east

To the master bedroom where the vampires feast

The ghouls all came from their humble abodes

To catch a jolt from my electrodes

He did the Mash

And you can Monster Mash

The Monster Mash

And do my graveyard smash

And you can Mash

You'll catch on in a flash

And you can Mash

They play 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 Alvin sent you

Here we go!

I was working in the lab

Late one night

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight

For my monster from his lab began to rise

And suddenly, to my surprise

[He did the mash]

He did the Monster Mash

[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

The master bedroom where the vampires feast

Ghouls all came from their humble abodes

To get a jolt from my electrobes

[They did the mash]

They did the Monster Mash

[Monster Mash]

And is a graveyard smash

[They did the mash]

It caught on in a flash

[They did the mash]

They did the Monster Mash

The zombies were having fun

The party had just begun

The guests included the Wolfman, Dracula, and his son

The scene was rocking, oh, they're digging the sounds

Eagor on chains, backed by his baying hounds

Coffin bangers were about to arrive

With their vocal group, the Crypt Kicker Five

[They did the mash]

They did the monster mash

[Monster Mash]

And it's a graveyard smash

[They did the mash]

They caught on in a flash

[They did the mash] They did the Monster Mash

Everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band

My Monster Mash, 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

Hey! They did the Monster Mash

[They did the mash]

And it's a graveyard smash

[They did the mash]

It caught on in a flash

[They did the mashhh] They did the Monster Mash

Monster Mash!

Monster Mash!

A monster mash!

Ohhh!
