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   -nc-
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
