Monster Mash

Watch your step I was working in the lab late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight When my monster, from its slab, began to rise And suddenly to my surprise (wa woo) He did the mash He did the monster mash And it's 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 (wa woo) To the master bedroom, where the vampires feast (wa woo) The ghouls all came from their humble abodes (wa woo oh) To get a jolt from my electrodes (oh) They did the mash, they did the monster mash (the monster mash) And it's a graveyard smash He did the mash, they caught on in a flash (he did the mash) They did the monster mash The zombies were having fun The party had just begun The guests included Wolf Man Dracula and his son The scene was rockin', 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 mash 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 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 only sent you Mash, 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) You can monster mash (Wa woo, oh oh woo, wa woo, oh oh oh, wa oh oh woo, wa woo, oh oh oh) --- Monster Mash - Misfits and John Cafiero
