[G] I was working in the lab late one night, [E] when my eyes beheld an eerie [Am] sight,
for my monster from his lab began to [Gm] rise, and suddenly, to [Ab] my surprise,
[G] he did the mash!
he did the monster mash!
[Em] It was a graveyard smash, [C] it caught on in flash,
[D] he did the monster mash!
[G] From my laboratory in the castle east, [Em] to the master bedroom near the vampire's feast,
[Am] the ghouls all came from their humble abodes, [D] to get a joke [G] from my electrodes,
they did the mash!
they did the monster mash!
The [E] monster mash!
It was a graveyard smash, they [C] did the mash!
It [D] caught on in [Ab] a flash, they [D] did the mash!
They did the monster mash, [C] the zombies were having fun,
the [D] party had just begun,
[C] the guests included Wolfman, [B] Dracula and his son,
[Am] [G] the scene was rocking, all were digging the sound,
[Em] Igor on chain back by his baying hound,
[Am] the coffin bangers were about to arrive,
[D] with their vocal group, [Ab] the crypt kicker five,
they [G] did the mash!
They played the monster mash, the [E] monster mash!
It was a graveyard smash, they did [C] the mash!
It [Fm] caught on in a flash, they did [D] the mash!
They played the monster mash, [G] the monster mash!
Out from his coffin, Drax voiced his ring,
[Em] seemed he was troubled by just one [Am] thing,
opened the lid and shook his fist and [G] said,
whatever happened to my thrush, they knew it was,
it's now the mash!
It's now the monster mash, the [E] monster mash!
And it's a graveyard smash, it's [C] now the mash!
It caught on in a flash, it's [D] now the mash!
It's now the monster mash, [G] it's now the mash!
Then [Em] my monster mash is the hit of the mad,
[C] for you the living, this mash was meant to,
[G] when you get to my door, tell [E] them Boris said,
then [G] you can mash, then you can monster [E] mash,
the monster mash, and you my graveyard smash,
then [C] you can mash, you'll catch on in a flash,
then [G] you can mash, then you can monster mash,
the monster mash,
Mash good!
[Em]
You impulsive [C] boy!
Mash good!
