Monster Mash 
Bobby (Boris) Pickett

      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 

           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 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   
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 rockin', 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" 

                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 
   C
He opened the lid and shook his fist
          D 
And said, "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
    C 
For you, the living, this mash was meant too 
         D
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 
Then you can mash 
             D
Then you can monster mash
