Bobby Boris Pickett, Monster Mash (1962)
Key: :[G#] (w: Bobby Pickett, Leonard L. Capizzi)
VERSE 1:
I was
[G#] working in the lab late one night
When my
[Fm] eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my
[C#] monster from the slab began to rise
And
[D#] suddenly, to my surprise
CHORUS 1:
He did the
[G#] mash; He did the Monster Mash
The Monster
[Fm] 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
VERSE 2:
From my
[G#] laboratory in the Castle East
To the
[Fm] Master Bedroom where the vampires feast
The
[C#] ghouls all came from their humble abode
To
[D#] get a jolt from my electrode
CHORUS 2:
And do the
[G#] mash; And do the Monster Mash
The monster
[Fm] 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
VERSE 3:
The
[G#] scene was rocking all were digging the sound
[Fm] 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-ooo STOP
[D#] Dracula and his son..
(Drum fill)
VERSE 4:
[G#] Out from his coffin Drac's voice did ring
It
[Fm] 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 3:
It's now the
[G#] mash; It's now the Monster Mash
The monster
[Fm] 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
VERSE 5:
Now
[G#] everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my
[Fm] 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 4:
And you can
[G#] Mash; And you can Monster Mash
The monster
[Fm] 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
