Monster Mash - Bobby “Boris” Pickett and the Cryptkickers
Verse 1:
[G] I was working in the lab late one night
When my [Em] eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my [C] monster from his slab began to rise
And [D7] suddenly to my surprise
|Chorus:
|He did the [G] mash he did the Monster Mash the M [Em] M it was a graveyard smash
|He did the [C] mash it caught on in a flash
|He did the [D7] mash he did the Monster Mash
Verse 2:
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 abodes
To [D7] get a jolt from my electrodes
|Chorus:
|He did the [G] mash he did the Monster Mash the M [Em] M it was a graveyard smash
|He did the [C] mash it caught on in a flash
|He did the [D7] mash he did the Monster Mash
Bridge:
The [C] zombies were having fun (dinnersuit) The [D7] party had just begun (dinnersuit)
The [C] guests included Wolfman (dinnersuit) [D7] Dracula and his son
Verse 3:
The [G] scene was rocking all were digging the sounds
[Em] Igor on chains backed by his baying hounds
The [C] Coffin Bangers were about to arrive
With their [D7] vocal group The Crypt Kicker Five
|Chorus:
|They played the [G] mash they played the Monster Mash The M [Em] M it was a graveyard smash
|They played the [C] mash they caught on in a flash
|They played the [D7] mash they played the Monster Mash
Verse 4:
[G] Out from his coffin Drac’s voice did ring
[Em] Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He [C] opened the lid and shook his fist
And said [D7] whatever happened to my Transylvanian twist
|Chorus:
|It’s now the [G] mash it’s now the Monster Mash the M [Em] M and it’s a graveyard smash
|It’s now the [C] mash it caught on in a flash
|It’s now the [D7] mash it’s now the Monster Mash
Verse 5:
Now [G] everything is cool Drac's a part of the band
My [Em] Monster Mash is the hit of the land
For [C] you the living this mash was meant too
When you [D7] get to my door tell them Boris sent you
|Chorus:
|Then you can [G] mash you can Monster Mash the M [Em] M and do my graveyard smash
|Then you can [C] mash you’ll catch on in a flash
|Then you can [D7] mash then you can Monster Mash [C]
