I was [C] working in the lab late one night, when my [Am] eyes beheld an eerie sight.  For my [F] monster from his slab began to rise and [G7] suddenly to my surprise 
[CHORUS]  [He did the [C] mash]   He did the monster mash 
[The monster [Am] mash]  It was a graveyard smash 
[He did the [F] mash]   It caught on in a flash 
[He did the [G7] mash]   He did the monster mash
 From my [C] laboratory in the castle east to the [Am] master bedroom where the vampires feast.  The [F] ghouls all came from their humble abodes to [G7] get a jolt from my electrodes 
AUDIENCE MAKES GROWLING MONSTER NOISES - 1X THROUGH [ C Am F G7 ]
[CHORUS] 
The [F] zombies were having fun   The [G7] party had just begun.  The [F] guests included Wolf Man   [G7] Dracula and his son 
 The [C] scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds.  [Am] Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds.  The [F] Coffin-Bangers were about to arrive with their [G7] vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five" 
[CHORUS] 
[C] Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring  [Am] seems he was troubled by just one thing. [F] Opened the lid and shook his fist, and [G7] said,   "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?" 
[CHORUS]   [It's now the [C] mash] It's now the monster mash 
[The monster [Am] mash] It now a graveyard smash 
[It's now the [F] mash] It caught on in a flash 
[It's now the [G7] mash] It's now the monster mash
