Monster Mash
Bobby "Boris" Pickett
#From: jim@truleigh.demon.co.uk (James Fryer)
(door creak; cauldron bubble; 4 bars drum intro)
I was
G
working in the lab late one night
When my
Em
eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my
C
monster from the slab began to rise
And
D
suddenly, to my surprise
Chorus
(He did the
G
mash) He did the Monster Mash
(The Monster
Em
Mash) It was a graveyard smash
(He did the
C
mash) It caught on in a flash
(He did the
D
mash) He did the Monster Mash
From my
G
laboratory in the Castle East
To the
Em
Master Bedroom where the vampires feast
The
C
ghouls all came from their humble abode
To
D
get a jolt from my electrode
Chorus
(And do the
G
mash) And do the Monster Mash
(The monster
Em
mash) And do my graveyard smash
(To do the
C
mash) They caught on in a flash
(To do the
D
mash) To do the monster mash
The
G
scene was rocking all were digging the sound
Em
Igor on chains backed by His Baying Hounds
The
C
Coffin Bangers were about to arrive
With their
D
vocal group, the Crypt Kicker Five
Bridge
The
C
Zombies were having fun (In-a-shoop-wha-ooo)
The
D
party had just begun (In-a-shoop-wha-ooo)
The
C
guests included WolfMan (In-a-shoop-wha-oooSTOP)
D
Dracula and his son (Drum fill)
G
Out from his coffin Drac's voice did ring
It
Em
seems he was worried 'bout just one thing
C
Opened the lid and shook his fist, and said
D
"Whatever hoppened to my Transylvania Tvist?"
Chorus
(It's now the
G
mash) It's now the Monster Mash
(The monster
Em
mash) And it's a graveyard smash
(It's now the
C
mash) It's caught on in a flash
(It's now the
D
mash) It's now the Monster Mash
Now
G
everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my
Em
Monster Mash, it's the hit of the land
For
C
you, the living, this Mash was meant, too
When you
D
get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
Chorus
(And you can
G
Mash) And you can Monster Mash
(The monster
Em
mash) And do my graveyard Smash
(And you can
C
Mash) You'll catch on in a flash
(Then you can
D
Mash) Then you can Monster Mash
(I - II - IV - V verse instr fade with Boris & Igor talkover)
Igor: MMMM...Mash goooood! Mash goood!
Boris: Down Igor, you impetuous young boy.
Igor: Mash goooood, etc.
