Monster Mash

      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
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   N.C.
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 
              D
(Then you can mash)    Then you can monster mash
 
    G
Wah-ooh, Monster Mash          (Ugh, Mash good!)
    Em
Wah-ooh, Monster Mash          (Easy Igor, you impetuous young boy)
    C
Wah-ooh, Monster Mash          (Ugh, Mash good!  Ughhrr )
    D
Wah-ooh, Monster Mash
