Verse 1

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...

Chorus

(He did the mash) He did the monster mash!
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash!
(He did the mash) It caught on in a flash!
(The monster mash) It's called the monster mash!

Verse 2

The laboratory in the castle eaves
In the master bedroom where the vampires sleep
The ghouls all came from their earthly abode
To get a jolt from my electrode!

Chorus

(They did the mash) They did the monster mash!
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash!
(They did the mash) It caught on in a flash!
(The monster mash) It's called the monster mash!

Verse 3

The zombies were having fun, yeah
The party had just begun
The guests included the Wolf Man
Dracula, and his little baby boy

Verse 4

The scene was rocking, all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive,
With the vocal group, the Beach Boy Five!

Chorus

(They did the mash) They did the monster mash!
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash!
(They did the mash) It caught on in a flash!
(The monster mash) It's called the monster mash!
