The Monster Mash
👉 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
🎶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 (👯♀️Wa hoo, tennis shoe)
🎶The party had just begun (👯♀️Wa hoo, tennis shoe)
🎶The guests included Wolfman, 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
(👯♀️Wa hoo, monster mash)
(👯♀️Wa hoo, monster mash)
🎶Easy Igor, you impetuous young boy (👯♀️Wa hoo, monster mash)
(👯♀️Wa hoo, monster mash)
The King Kitty virus is spreading! 😆 I love it!! 😍 🥰
Frightening how true to life those photos of our band look.
Reviewing this 60-year-old classic in 2022 makes me notice that it has a strong male bias. Today, certain social groups demand to be visible.
That in mind, and willing to modernize the song, I let out the poet within to create the rhymes below.
They're meant to be added to the original text, just above the line "Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band"
Hope You like it!
🎶The charity raffle opened just before moonrise
🎶And Herman Munster won the inflatable First Prize
🎶Frank N. Furter was late, the sweet transvestite
🎶Had been searching the ointment for his drag cellulite
🎶Attending our party he learned in a flash:
🎶The best cure to have is named monster mash
(👯♀️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 absorbed in a flash
(👯♀️It's now the mash) 🎶It's now the monster mash
🎶Frankenstein's bride called off her betrothal
🎶As Elvira addressed her with a different proposal
Pole-dancing witches used their broomsticks an odd way
🎶While their sisters from Eastwick stormed the bloody cold buffet
(👯♀️And left a mess) 🎶It's now the monster mess
(👯♀️The monster mess) 🎶And it's a grave excess
(👯♀️It's now the mess) 🎶And they need to redress
(👯♀️It's now the mess) 🎶It is a monstrous mess
