Verse 1
I was [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] working in the lab late one night
When my [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] monster from the slab began to rise
And [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] suddenly, to my surprise
Chorus
He did the [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] mash... He did the Monster Mash
The Monster [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Mash... It was a graveyard smash
He did the [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] mash... It caught on in a flash
He did the [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] mash... He did the Monster Mash

Verse 2
From my [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] laboratory in the Castle East
To the [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Master Bedroom where the vampires feast
The [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] ghouls all came from their humble abode
To [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] get a jolt from my electrodes
Chorus with slightly different wording (below)
And do the [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] mash... And do the Monster Mash
The monster [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] mash... And do my graveyard smash
To do the [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] mash... They caught on in a flash
To do the [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] mash... To do the monster mash
Bridge
The [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] Zombies were having fun... (In-a-shoop-wha-ooo)
The [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] party had just begun... (In-a-shoop-wha-ooo)
The [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] guests included Wolfman... (In-a-shoop-wha-ooo)
[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] Dracula and his son.. (Drum fill)

Verse 3
The [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] scene was rocking all were digging the sound
[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Igor on chains backed by His Baying Hounds
The [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] Coffin Bangers were about to arrive
With their [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] vocal group, the Crypt Kicker Five
Repeat Chorus
He did the [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] mash... He did the Monster Mash
The Monster [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Mash... It was a graveyard smash
He did the [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] mash... It caught on in a flash
He did the [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] mash... He did the Monster Mash

Verse 4
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Out from his coffin Drac's voice did ring
It [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] seems he was worried 'bout just one thing
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] Opened the lid and shook his fist, and said
[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"
Chorus with slightly different wording (below)
It's now the [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] mash... It's now the Monster Mash
The monster [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] mash... And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] mash... It's caught on in a flash
It's now the [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] mash... It's now the Monster Mash

Verse 5
Now [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Monster Mash, it's the hit of the land
For [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] you, the living, this Mash was meant, too
When you [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
Chorus with slightly different wording (below)
And you can [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Mash... And you can Monster Mash
The monster [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] mash... And do my graveyard Smash
And you can [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] Mash... You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] Mash... Then you can Monster Mash
