1. I was working in the lab late one night,
                    Em
    when my eyes beheld an eerie sight,
                      C
    when my monster, from its 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.

2. 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.

3. The scene was rocking, all were digging the sound,
  Em
    Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds,
            C
    the Coffin Bangers were about to arrive,
                     D
    with their vocal group, The Crypt Keeper Five.

4. Out from his coffin Drac`s voice did ring,
     Em
    seemed he was troubled by just one thing,
     C
   opened the lid and shook his fist,
                  D   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
    and said : “Whatever happened to my transsylvania 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 caught on in a flash,
                          D
    it’s now the Mash, it’s now the Monster Mash.
 
             G
5. Now everything is 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 you might graveyard smash,
                            C
    then you can Mash, you'll catch on in a flash,
                            D
    then you can Mash, then you can Monster Mash..…….
