Monster Mash
words and music by Bobby Pickett and Lenny Capizzi
A
I was working in the lab late one night
F#m
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
D
For my monster from his slab began to rise
E
And suddenly to my surprise
(ac#ac#c#)
He did the mash
(f#c#f#c#c#)
He did the monster mash
(dadaa)
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
(ebebb)
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
D
He did the mash
E
He did the monster mash
-----
A
From my laboratory in the castle east
F#m
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
D
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
E//
To get a jolt from my electrodes
---- A
They did the mash
They did the monster mash
F#m
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
D
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
E
They did the mash
They did the monster mash
A aaag#f#
The zombies were having fun
F#m f#f#f#ed
The party had just begun
D
The guests included Wolf Man
E//
Dracula and his son ): e g# b
A
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
F#m
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
D
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
E//
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"
):
e g# b A
They played the mash
They played the monster mash
F#m
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
D
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
b c# d# E //
They played the mash
They played the monster mash
A
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
F#m
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
D
He opened the lid and shook his fist
E/
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"
e f# g# A
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
a a g# f# F#m
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash
a b c# D
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash
b c# d# E/
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
A
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
F#m
And the monster mash is the hit of the land
D
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
E/
When you get to my door, tell them Body sent you
e f# g# A
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
F#m
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
D
Then you can mash
You'll catch on in a flash
E
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
A (ac#e)2x ag# F#m
Wa ooh Wa -- ooh ....

And then the witch doctor, he gave me this advice
He said to ...
(Repeat Chorus)
Now, you've been keeping love from me
Just like you were a miser
And I'll admit I wasn't very smart
So I went out and found myself
A guy that's so much wiser
And he taught me the way to win your heart
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to say
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to do
I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you
Oh, Baby ....
(Repeat Chorus)
