Monster Mash chords *
I was Gworking in the lab late one night 
When my Emeyes beheld an eerie sight 
For my Cmonster from his slab began to rise 
And Dsuddenly to my surprise 
(He did the Gmash)   He did the monster mash 
(The monster Emmash)  It was a graveyard smash 
(He did the Cmash)   It caught on in a flash 
(He did the Dmash)   He did the monster mash
From my Glaboratory in the castle east 
To the Emmaster bedroom where the vampires feast 
The Cghouls all came from their humble abodes 
To Dget a jolt from my electrodes 
(They did the Gmash)   They did the monster mash 
(The monster Emmash)    It was a graveyard smash 
(They did the Cmash)   It caught on in a flash 
(They did the Dmash)   They did the monster mash
The Czombies were having fun 
The Dparty had just begun 
The Cguests included Wolf Man 
DDracula and his son 
The Gscene was rockin', all were digging the sounds 
EmIgor on chains, backed by his baying hounds 
The CCoffin-Bangers were about to arrive 
With their Dvocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five" 
(They played the Gmash)    They played the monster mash 
(The monster Emmash)        It was a graveyard smash 
(They played the Cmash)    It caught on in a flash 
(They played the Dmash)    They played the monster mash
GOut from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring 
EmSeems he was troubled by just one thing 
COpened the lid and shook his fist 
And said,   D"Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?" 
(It's now the Gmash)    It's now the monster mash 
(The monster Emmash)     And it's a graveyard smash 
(It's now the Cmash)    It's caught on in a flash 
(It's now the Dmash)    It's now the monster mash 
Now Geverything's cool, Drac's a part of the band 
And my Emmonster mash is the hit of the land 
For Cyou, the living, this mash was meant too 
When you Dget to my door, tell them Boris sent you 
(Then you can Gmash)    Then you can monster mash 
(The monster Emmash)     And do my graveyard smash 
(Then you can Cmash)    You'll catch on in a flash 
(Then you can Dmash)    Then you can monster mash
Wah-Gooh, Monster Mash          (Ugh, Mash good!)
Wah-Emooh, Monster Mash          (Easy Igor, you impetuous young boy)
Wah-Cooh, Monster Mash          (Ugh, Mash good!  Ughhrr )
Wah-Dooh, Monster Mash

Monster Mash chords *

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

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

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

Wah-ooh, Monster Mash (Ugh, Mash good!)

Wah-ooh, Monster Mash (Easy Igor, you impetuous young boy)

Wah-ooh, Monster Mash (Ugh, Mash good! Ughhrr )

Wah-ooh, Monster Mash
