G
I was working in the lab late one night,
Em
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight.
C
For my monster from his slab began to rise,
D
And suddenly to my surprise.
Chorus: 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.
C
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes,
D
To catch a jolt from my electrodes.
Chorus: 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.
Bridge: C
The zombies were having fun...
D
The party had just begun.
C
The guests included Wolf Man...
D
Dracula and his son.
G
The scene was rockinʼ, all were digging the sounds,
Em
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds.
C
The Coffin-Bangers were about to arrive,
D
With their vocal group, «The Crypt-Kicker Five».
Chorus: 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
Out from his coffin, Dracʼs voice did ring.
Em
Seems he was troubled by just one thing.
C
He opened the lid and shook his fist,
D
And said, «Whatever happened to my Transylvanian Twist?»
Chorus: G
Itʼs now the mash..Itʼs now the monster mash.
Em
The monster mash..and itʼs a graveyard smash.
C
Itʼs now the mash..It caught on in a flash.
D
Itʼs now the mash..Itʼs now the monster mash.
G
Now everythingʼs cool, Dracʼs a part of the band,
Em
And my monster mash is the hit of the land.
C
For you, the living, this mash was meant too,
D
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you.
Chorus: G
Then you can mash..then you can monster mash.
Em
The monster mash..And do my graveyard smash.
C
Then you can mash..Youʼll catch on in a flash,
D
Then you can mash..Then you can monster mash.
G
Then you can mash..then you can monster mash.
Em
The monster mash..And do my graveyard smash.
C
Then you can mash..Youʼll catch on in a flash,
D
Then you can mash..Then you can monster mash.
