| I was | working in the lab late one night |
| Em | |
| When my | eyes beheld an eerie sight |
| C | |
| For my | monster from his slab began to rise |
| D | |
| And | suddenly to my surprise |
| G | |
| He did the | mash, he did the monster mash |
| Em | |
| The monster | mash, it was a graveyard smash |
| C | |
| He did the | mash, it caught on in a flash |
| D | |
| He did the | mash, he did the monster mash |
| G | |
| From my | laboratory in the castle East |
| Em | |
| To the | master bedroom where the vampires feast |
| C | |
| The | ghouls all came from their humble abodes |
| D | |
| To | catch a jolt from my electrodes |
| G | |
| They did the | mash, they did the monster mash |
| Em | |
| The monster | mash, it was a graveyard smash |
| C | |
| They did the | mash, it caught on in a flash |
| D | |
| They did the | mash, they did the monster mash |
Bridge
| C | D | |
| The | zombies were having fun, the pa | rty had just begun |
Hard stop on “Drac”
| C | D | |
| The | guests included Wolf Man, D | racula and his son |
| G | |
| The | scene was rockin’, all were digging the sounds |
| Em |
| Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds |
| C | |
| The | Coffin-Bangers were about to arrive |
| D | |
| With their | vocal group, The Crypt-Kicker Five |
| G | |
| They played the | mash, they played the monster mash |
| Em | |
| The monster | mash, it was a graveyard smash |
| C | |
| They played the | mash, it caught on in a flash |
| D | |
| They played the | mash, they played the monster mash |
| G |
| Out from his coffin, Drac’s voice did ring |
| Em |
| Seems he was troubled by just one thing |
| C |
| Opened the lid and shook his fist |
Hard stop on the V
| D | |
| And said, | “Whatever happened to my Transylvanian Twist?” |
| G | |
| It’s now the | mash, it’s now the monster mash |
| Em | |
| The monster | mash, and it’s a graveyard smash |
| C | |
| It’s now the | mash, it’s caught on in a flash |
| D | |
| It’s now the | mash, it’s now the monster mash |
| G | |
| Now | everything’s cool, Drac’s a part of the band |
| Em | |
| And my | monster mash is the hit of the land |
| C | |
| For | you, the living, this mash was meant too |
Hard stop on “get”
| D | |
| When you | get to my door, tell them Boris sent you |
| G | |
| Then you can | mash, then you can monster mash |
| Em | |
| The monster | mash, and do my graveyard smash |
| C | |
| Then you can | mash, you’ll catch on in a flash |
| D | |
| Then you can | mash, then you can monster mash |
