Bobby Boris Pickett, Monster Mash (1962)
Key: :[A] (w: Bobby Pickett, Leonard L. Capizzi)
VERSE 1:
I was
[A] working in the lab late one night
When my
[F#m] eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my
[D] monster from the slab began to rise
And
[E] suddenly, to my surprise
CHORUS 1:
He did the
[A] mash; He did the Monster Mash
The Monster
[F#m] Mash; It was a graveyard smash
He did the
[D] mash; It caught on in a flash
He did the
[E] mash; He did the Monster Mash
VERSE 2:
From my
[A] laboratory in the Castle East
To the
[F#m] Master Bedroom where the vampires feast
The
[D] ghouls all came from their humble abode
To
[E] get a jolt from my electrode
CHORUS 2:
And do the
[A] mash; And do the Monster Mash
The monster
[F#m] mash; And do my graveyard smash
To do the
[D] mash; They caught on in a flash
To do the
[E] mash; To do the monster mash
VERSE 3:
The
[A] scene was rocking all were digging the sound
[F#m] Igor on chains backed by His Baying Hounds
The
[D] Coffin Bangers were about to arrive
With their
[E] vocal group, the Crypt Kicker Five
BRIDGE:
The
[D] Zombies were having fun; In-a-shoop-wha-ooo
The
[E] party had just begun; In-a-shoop-wha-ooo
The
[D] guests included Wolfman; In-a-shoop-wha-ooo STOP
[E] Dracula and his son..
(Drum fill)
VERSE 4:
[A] Out from his coffin Drac's voice did ring
It
[F#m] seems he was worried 'bout just one thing
[D] Opened the lid and shook his fist, and said
[E] "Whatever hoppened to my Transylvania Tvist?"
CHORUS 3:
It's now the
[A] mash; It's now the Monster Mash
The monster
[F#m] mash; And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the
[D] mash; It's caught on in a flash
It's now the
[E] mash; It's now the Monster Mash
VERSE 5:
Now
[A] everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my
[F#m] Monster Mash, it's the hit of the land
For
[D] you, the living, this Mash was meant, too
When you
[E] get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
CHORUS 4:
And you can
[A] Mash; And you can Monster Mash
The monster
[F#m] mash; And do my graveyard Smash
And you can
[D] Mash; You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can
[E] Mash; Then you can Monster Mash
