[Verse 1] [G] I was working in the lab late one night, When my [Em] eyes beheld an eerie sight. For my [C] monster from his slab began to rise, And [D] suddenly to my surprise.
[Chorus] He did the [G] mash, he did the monster mash. The monster [Em] mash, it was a graveyard smash. He did the [C] mash, it caught on in a flash. He did the [D] mash, he did the monster mash.
[Verse 2] From my [G] laboratory in the castle east, To the [Em] master bedroom where the vampires feast. The [C] ghouls all came from their humble abodes, To [D] catch a jolt from my electrodes.
[Chorus] He did the [G] mash, he did the monster mash. The monster [Em] mash, it was a graveyard smash. He did the [C] mash, it caught on in a flash. He did the [D] mash, he did the monster mash.
[Chorus 2] The [C] zombies were having fun..The [D] party had just begun. The [C] guests included Wolf Man.. [D] Dracula and his son.
[Verse 3] The [G] scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds, [Em] Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds. The [C] Coffin-Bangers were about to arrive, With their [D] vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five."
[Chorus] He did the [G] mash, he did the monster mash. The monster [Em] mash, it was a graveyard smash. He did the [C] mash, it caught on in a flash. He did the [D] mash, he did the monster mash.
[Verse 4] [G] Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring. [Em] Seems he was troubled by just one thing. He [C] opened the lid and shook his fist, And [D] said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvanian Twist?"
[Chorus] It's now the [G] mash..It's now the monster mash. The monster [Em] mash..and it's a graveyard smash. It's now the [C] mash..It caught on in a flash. It's now the [D] mash..It's now the monster mash.
[Verse 5] Now [G] everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band, And my [Em] monster mash is the hit of the land. For [C] you, the living, this mash was meant too, When [D] you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you.
[Chorus] X2 Then you can [G] mash..then you can monster mash. The monster [Em] mash..And do my graveyard smash. Then you can [C] mash..You'll catch on in a flash, Then you can [D] mash..Then you can monster mash.
