The Monster Mash

with thanks and apologies to Bobby "Boris" Pickett...

You never know what the charms are going to do once night falls.

I was working late in the bead lab one night,

When my eyes beheld and eerie sight.

For my monster from his slab began to rise

And suddenly to my surprise...




He did the mash.

He did the monster mash.

The monster mash...

It was a graveyard smash.

He did the mash.

(It caught on in a flash.)

He did the Mash.

He did the Monster Mash!

From my laboratory in the castle east

To the master bedroom where the vampires feast,






The ghouls all came from their humble abodes

To get a jolt from my electrodes.

They did the mash!

(They did the monster mash.)

The monster mash,

It was a graveyard smash!

They did the mash.

(It caught on in a flash.)

They did the mash,

They did the monster mash!

The zombies were having fun,

The party had just begun.

The guests included Wolf Man






Dracula and his son!

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds:

Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds.




The coffin-bangers were about to arrive

With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"

They played the mash.

(They played the monster mash.)

The monster mash,

It was a graveyard smash.

They played the mash

(It caught on in a flash.)

They played the mash,

They played the monster mash

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring.

Seems he was troubled by just one thing.

He opened the lid and shook his fist

And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"

It's now the mash,

It's now the monster mash.

The monster mash...

And it's a graveyard smash!

It's now the mash.

It's caught on in a flash.

It's now the mash,

It's now the monster mash!

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band

And my monster mash is the hit of the land

For you, the living, this mash was meant, too.

When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you!

Then you can mash,

Then you can monster mash.

The monster mash,

And do my graveyard smash.

Then you can mash.

You'll catch on in a flash.

Then you can mash,

Then you can monster mash!

It's the Monster Mash for your wrist, complete with an evil eye(ball.)

It's here. Just tell them Boris sent you.
