Bobby Pickett "Monster Mash"

[media=https://youtu.be/vNuVifA7DSU]

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an 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

(Wa-ooh) from my laboratory in the castle east
(Wa-ooh) to the master bedroom where the vampires feast
(Wa-wa-ooh) the ghouls all came from their humble abodes
(Wa-ooh) 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

(Wa-ooh) the zombies were having fun (to the shoop)
(Ah-ooh) the party had just begun (to the shoop)
(Ah-ooh) The guests included Wolfman (to the shoop)
(Ah-ooh) Dracula, and his son

(Wa-ooh) the scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
(Wa-ooh) he got on chains backed by his baying hounds
(Wah-wa-ooh) the coffin-dangers were about to arrive
(Wa-ooh) 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

(Wa-ooh) out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
(Wa-ooh) seems he was troubled by just one thing
(Wa-wa-ooh) he opened the lid and shook his fist, and said
(Wa-ooh) 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

(Wa-ooh) now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
(Wa-ooh) my monster mash is the hit of the land
(Wa-wa-oh) for you the living, this mash was meant too
(Wa-ooh) 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

(Wa-ooh) mm (monster mash!)
(Wa-ooh) mass good (monster mash!)
(Wa-ooh) easy boy, you impetuous with young boy (monster mash)
(Wa-ooh) mm, mash good (monster mash)
(Wa-ooh) mm (monster mash)
(Wa-ooh, monster mash)
(Wa-ooh, -)

This was (re?)-released in the UK in the early 1970s (it was a hit) though it dates from considerably earlier. I bought this and played it a lot at the time but haven't done so recently. A good fun record! 😀

@supersnipe I love this song. It is so fun, but my favorite part is the expression he makes when he sings. It just cracks me up too much.😄
