Lyrics:

I was working in the lab late one night

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight

For my monster, from his slab began to rise

And suddenly, to my surprise

(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

(He did the mash)

He did the monster mash

From my laboratory in the castle east

To the master bedroom where the vampires feast

The ghouls all came from their humble abode

To get a jolt from my electrode

The zombies were having fun,

The party had just begun

The guests included Wolf man,

Dracula and his son

The scene was rocking, all were digging the sound

Igor on chains backed by his baying hounds

The Coffin Baggers were about to arrive

With their vocal group, The Crypt kicker Five

(They played the mash)

They played the monster mash

(The monster the mash)

It was a graveyard smash

(They played the mash)

It caught on in a flash

(They played the mash)

They played the monster mash.

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring

Seems he was troubled by just one thing

Opened the lid and shook his fist, and said

"Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"

(It's now the mash)

It's now the monster mash

(The monster mash)

And it's a graveyard smash

(It's now the mash)

It caught on in a flash

(It's now the mash)

It's now the monster mash

Now everything's cool,

Drac's a part of the band

And my monster mash is the hit of the land

For you, the living,

This mash was meant, too

When you get to my door

Tell them Boris sent you

(Then you can mash)

Then you can monster mash

(The monster mash)

And do my graveyards smash

(Then you can mash)

You'll catch on in a flash

(Then you can mash)

Then you can monster mash

Grrrr... Mash....

Easy Igor, you impetuous vampire
