Monster Mash

Monster Mash: Chords

      SOL
I was working in the lab late one night
        MIm
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
       LAm7
For my monster, from his slab, began to rise
    RE7
And suddenly, to my surprise
           SOL
he did the Mash
             MIm
(The Monster Mash) it was a graveyard smash
            DO
(He did the Mash) it caught on in a flash
            RE7
(He did the Mash) he did the Monster Mash

        SOL
From my laboratory in the Castle east
       MIm
To the master bedroom, where the vampires feast
    LAm7
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
   RE7
To get a jolt from my electrodes
             SOL
they did the Mash
             MIm
(The Monster Mash) it was a graveyard smash
              DO
(They did the Mash) it caught on in a flash
              RE7
(They did the Mash) they did the Monster Mash

    DO
The zombies were having fun
    RE
The party had just begun
    DO                        RE7
The guests included Wolf-Man, Dracula, and his son

    SOL
The scene was rocking, all were digging the sounds
MIm
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
    LAm7
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
           RE7
With their vocal group, The Crypt-Kicker Five
                SOL
they played the Mash
             MIm
(The Monster Mash) it was a graveyard smash
                 DO
(They played the Mash) it caught on in a flash
                 RE7
(They played the Mash) they played the Monster Mash

SOL
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
MIm
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
LAm7
Opened the lid and shook his fist
         RE7
And said, "Whatever happened 

to my Transylvania twist?"
             SOL
it's now the Mash
             MIm
(The Monster Mash) and it's a graveyard smash
              DO
(It's now the Mash) it's caught on in a flash
              RE7
(It's now the Mash) it's now the Monster Mash

    SOL
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
       MIm
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
    LAm7
For you, the living, this Mash was meant too
         RE6
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
             SOL
then you can Mash
             MIm
(The Monster Mash) and do my graveyard smash
              DO
(Then you can Mash) you'll catch on in a flash
              RE7
(Then you can Mash) then you can Monster Mash

SOL
 ...Mash good!
MIm                                  DO
 Easy, Igor, you impetuous, young boy
                         RE7
Mash good! (Monster Mash)...

SOL      MIm      DO      RE7

Monster Mash è un brano scritto e inciso da Bobby Pickett, nato Robert George Pickett, contenuto nell'album The Original Monster Mash pubblicato nel 1962. Si tratta dell'unico disco di inediti realizzato dall'artista del Massachusetts, nato sull'onda del grande successo riscosso... proprio con questa canzone! Scritta insieme a Leonard Capizzi, è una simpatica parodia in forma "Canzone" dei tanti balli frenetici nati in quegli anni come il Twist e il Mashed potato.
