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 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
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, it was graveyard smash
It's now the mash, it 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

Rabian - The Fiendage Idol
Who's that knocking on my laboratory door?
I'm much too busy, would you answer it, Igor?
Excuse me, Boris, for this rude imposition
I have a new talent I'd like you to audition
I never expected this of you, Drac
Looks like everyone wants to get in on the act
Since I've had a hit record and made all this bread
I've become the Dick Clark for all the undead
Is he really that good or are you handing me jive?
One time he did wolf calls with your Crypt-Kicker Five
This here is Van Helsing, I know by his tail
His name is now Rabian, you should hear him wail
Oh, come now, Bela, do you take me for a fool?
Could this rabid creature be an all-American ghoul?
I'm sure he can, Boris, I bet my left wing
Alright, you bloodsucker, let's hear him sing
Well, well, well, I'm a werewolf
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a werewolf
Whoa, whoa, whoa
When I'm on the prowl and I hear your growl
I wanna howl
A-woo!
Groovy, Drac, this boy has a sound
He'll knock 'em alive for miles around
We'll comb his hair into rock and roll bangs
Get him de-flea-ed and cap his fangs
Werewolf
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a werewolf
Woo, woo, woo
When I'm on the prowl and I hear your growl
I wanna howl
Woo, woo
It's too much
I told you you would like him
Don't call us, we'll call you
Werewolf, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm a werewolf
When I'm on the prowl
Come around next week, will you?
Whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm a werewolf
Whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm a werewolf
I'm a werewolf
Whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm much too busy, would you answer it, Igor?

Blood Bank Blues
I've got the blood bank blues
I didn't pay my dues
They shut me off
I've got the blood bank blues
How could they refuse
To give me a pint or two?
I'm sick and tired of being treated so
All I really need is a little vivo
I've got the blues
Those ol' blood bank blues
When the red corpuscles meet with the white
It makes for a wonderful treat
You can keep your filet and your top of the rump
Blood is just my meat
All these delivery banks
Close in the afternoon
But that is much too soon
But for the vampire's trust
It is a midnight must
When the moon is full and blue
All because it
Must we come after ten?
I've got the blues
Those ol' blood bank blues
Let me in, we-oo
I'm dry as a bone
Go away or I'll show you wings
The reason that my blues didn't start
Boris put a stake in my girl's heart
If I don't get it out before the sun is high
How will I ever fly?
I've really got the shakes
My wing membrane aches
How will I make it tonight?
Who's the boss
Of the local Red Cross?
I'd like to know his name
If he just doesn't give a heck
I'll put the bite to his neck
And lose my blues
Those ol' blood bank blues
(I've got the blood bank blues)
Let me in, we-oo
(I got the blood bank blues)
I'm dry as a bone
We-oo, we-oo
Darling, I said we-oo
Doesn't anyone know popular music?
I didn't pay my dues
They shut me off
I've got the blood bank blues
How could they refuse
To give me a pint or two?
I'm sick and tired of being treated so
All I really need is a little vivo
I've got the blues
Those ol' blood bank blues
When the red corpuscles meet with the white
It makes for a wonderful treat
You can keep your filet and your top of the rump
Blood is just my meat
All these delivery banks

Skully Gully
When the skeletons wail at the witching hour
(Skully, Skully Gully)
It echoes from dungeon to tower
(Skully, Skully Gully)
Vampires Skully Gully, zombies Skully Gully
Werewolves Skully Gully too
They rattle their skulls past the cemetery gates
(Skully, Skully Gully)
To the spot where their master Boris waits
(Skully, Skully Gully)
Vito Skully Gully, Igor Skully Gully
Janos Skully Gully too
I'll take them all to the mausoleum now
(Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, Skully Gully)
They can wail all through the night
(Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, Skully Gully)
I hope the caretaker isn't there
(Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, Skully Gully)
He's sure to die of fright
Go, you bonehead, rattle that ivory
Crack those craniums
And when the sun arises in the eastern sky
(Skully, Skully Gully)
I'm sure you'll hear my children's cry
(Skully, Skully Gully)
They don't want to end their gruesome play
But you can't Skully Gully during the day

Wolfbane
(Wolfman, wahoo)
There's a man in the horror movies we all know (Wolfman, wahoo)
Who stalks these nights on the late, late show (Wolfman, wahoo)
When the moon is full at the midnight hour (Wolfman, wahoo)
His face transforms into a massive howl (Wolfman, wahoo)
His clothes aren't continental, an appearance far from neat (Wolfman, wahoo)
And what chick would dig a cat with growth on his feet? (Wolfman, wahoo)
He misses all the parties, he's a lonesome pup (Wolfman, wahoo)
All he really wants to do is chew people up (Wolfman, wahoo)
(Wolfman)
Got fangs he can't conceal
(Wolfman)
Can't brush after every meal
(Wolfman)
Never out 'til the sunlight fades
How are you fixed for blades?
When the sun is rising to the baying of a hound (Wolfman, wahoo)
A mangled carcass is always found (Wolfman, wahoo)
He's really not vicious, just wants to play (Wolfman, wahoo)
It's not his fault he gets carried away (Wolfman)
And so do they
(Wolfman)
Got fangs he can't conceal
(Wolfman)
Can't brush after every meal
(Wolfman)
Never out 'til the sunlight fades
How are you fixed for blades?
So if you go parking in Lovers' Lane (Wolfman, wahoo)
Be sure you have a good supply of ripe Wolfbane (Wolfman, wahoo)
For if you're there past midnight when the moon is new (Wolfman, wahoo)
Chances are a wolf man will put the bite on you (Wolfman, wahoo)
My goodness, your teeth are sharp (Wolfman, wahoo)
Didn't I see you on TV the other night? (Wolfman, wahoo)
Have you had a rabies shot lately?
(Wolfman, wahoo)
Don't you have a cousin named Rabian, the fiendage idol?
I'll bet your name is Larry Talbot (Wolfman, wahoo)
What do you do about those fleas, anyhow? (Wolfman)
There's a man in the horror movies we all know (Wolfman, wahoo)
Who stalks these nights on the late, late show (Wolfman, wahoo)
When the moon is full at the midnight hour (Wolfman, wahoo)
His face transforms into a massive howl (Wolfman, wahoo)
His clothes aren't continental, an appearance far from neat (Wolfman, wahoo)
And what chick would dig a cat with growth on his feet? (Wolfman, wahoo)
He misses all the parties, he's a lonesome pup (Wolfman, wahoo)
All he really wants to do is chew people up (Wolfman, wahoo)

Monster Minuet
Announcing the count and countess of Transylvania
Good evening, Count Dracula
Good evening, Igor
Could you check my cape, please?
Good evening, Count Dracula
So glad you and the countess could attend my ball
I see several old friends here
There's Frankenstein and his charming bride
Yes, and Vitos and Wolfman are here, too
The ladies in waiting are very beautiful
You don't mean those slimy old ghouls?
I didn't think my eyesight was failing me
Well, it is, nonetheless
May I have the pleasure of this minuet, Countess Alucard?
There could hardly be pleasure dancing with you
Who asked you, fang-face?
And I suppose you think you are Rock Hudson?
Not particularly, but at least I don't sack out all day like you
How could you?
You are too busy cutting up corpses with your ugly friends
Like that one over there
Which one?
The one with the permanent wave on his face
Now you're in trouble, bloodsucker, he heard you
I'm not afraid, but, uh, we were just leaving anyway
Don't leave that snaggletooth bag of bones you call your wife behind
Alright, alright, I'm going
His teeth are bigger than mine, we've got to get out of here fast
Come on, come on, Vampyra
Good evening, Count Dracula

Sinister Stomp
Sinister Stomp
Ghouls like to rock, zombies like to roll
But I dig the Stomp 'cause it's good for the soul
On a graveyard prowl late one night
I tripped on a body and got quite a fright
As my fear subsided, my anger grew
I proceeded to stomp with the heel of my shoe
(It's the Sinister Stomp)
It keeps Janos alive
(It's the Sinister Stomp)
It makes Frankie jive
(It's the Sinister Stomp)
And it's mine, all mine
(It's the Sinister Stomp)
It keeps my ghouls in line
I stomped and stomped like a crazy fool
How was I to know it was Janos the ghoul?
But nevertheless, I was having fun
It was the Sinister Stomp that made Janos run
(It's the Sinister Stomp)
It keeps Janos alive
(It's the Sinister Stomp)
It makes Frankie jive
(It's the Sinister Stomp)
And it's mine, all mine
(It's the Sinister Stomp)
It keeps my ghouls in line
This should teach him not to sleep on the job
He's getting bad habits from his playmate, the Blob
Hark now, it's midnight, the monster will romp
Keep him in line with the Sinister Stomp
(It's the Sinister Stomp)
Keeps Janos alive
(It's the Sinister Stomp)
It makes Frankie jive
(It's the Sinister Stomp)
And it's mine, all mine
(It's the Sinister Stomp)
La la la la la la la la
Try to stomp to your heart's content
You'll only find that your energy's spent
To the stomp, there is a knack
Ask Janos, it broke his back
(Sinister Stomp)
It keeps Janos alive (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(It's the Sinister Stomp)

Me and My Mummy
(Me and my mummy and
Me and my mummy and
Me and my mummy and me
Me and my mummy and
Me and my mummy and
Me and my mummy and me)
I saw the face of the mummy last night
Well-ell-ell-ell
I fell in love with this hideous sight
(Ah) How could it happen?
How could it be?
It's just me, and my mummy
My mummy and me
It happened in Egypt
By the old river Nile
Well-ell-ell-ell
At the base of the pyramid, she gave me a smile
Do, do, do, do
(Ah) The bandage unraveled
Decayed flesh I did see
Now, it's me, and my mummy
My mummy and me
(Do do do do, do do do do, ah) Flesh like clay, in her tomb, she did lay
(Do do do do, do do do do, ah) For thousands and thousands of years, well-ell-ell
(Do do do do, do do do do, ah) I came one day, found her rotting away
(Ah) And dried all her clay-like tears
Well-ell-ell-ell-ell-ell-ell-ell
We married in Cairo, the very next day
Now outside our crypt, the inscription does say:
(Ah) "Here lie two mummies, wrapped close as can be"
It's just me, and my mummy
My mummy and me
(Me and my mummy and me and my mummy) I love her so
(And me and my mummy and me) She's my mummy, you know
(Me and my mummy and me and my mummy) I can't live without her
(And me and my mummy and me) She has me all tangled up
(Me and my mummy and me and my mummy) She's just my girl
Me and my mummy and
Me and my mummy and me
Me and my mummy and
Me and my mummy and
Me and my mummy and me)
I saw the face of the mummy last night
Well-ell-ell-ell
I fell in love with this hideous sight
(Ah) How could it happen?
How could it be?
It's just me, and my mummy
My mummy and me

Monster Motion
Well, I just flew in from Boris's pad
I swear that fool, he's going mad
He's locked in his lab counting his cash
That he made on this dance called the Monster Mash
(Come on, you monster, do the Monster Motion)
Frankie and Igor are here with me
The mummy and Wolfman both came to see
Transylvania swings from the loud commotion
That's caused from doing my Monster Motion
All the monsters (Do the Monster Motion)
All the vampires (Do the Monster Motion)
(Zombies dig it, ghouls dig it)
You'll dig it too (The Monster Motion)
All the monsters (Do the Monster Motion)
Well, the ghouls all dig my graveyard gig
Wolfman is here with his pack
From somewhere about, I hear a coffin shout
"I want my mummy back"
Wolfman, please, you're giving me fleas
Go over and dance with the Thing
Igor, you fool, be a little more cool
You just about stepped on my wing
(Zombies dig it, ghouls dig it)
You'll dig it too (The Monster Motion)
All the monsters (Do the Monster Motion)
All you zombies and bats, be regular cats
Go Janos, wail, Frankie, wail
Did I hear a yelp? Igor, it would help
If you get off of Wolfman's tail
A-tisket, a-tasket, to heck with my casket
Tonight, I'm going to be free
Let's go, everyone, join the graveyard fun
Come and do the Monster Motion with me
All the monsters (Do the Monster Motion)
All the vampires (Do the Monster Motion)
Zombies dig it (Dig the Monster Motion)
Ghouls dig it (Dig the Monster Motion)
You'll dig it (Dig the Monster Motion)
All the monsters (Dig the Monster Motion)
All the vampires (Dig the Monster Motion)
Zombies dig it
I swear that fool, he's going mad
He's locked in his lab counting his cash
That he made on this dance called the Monster Mash
(Come on, you monster, do the Monster Motion)
Frankie and Igor are here with me
The mummy and Wolfman both came to see
Transylvania swings from the loud commotion
That's caused from doing my Monster Motion
All the monsters (Do the Monster Motion)
All the vampires (Do the Monster Motion)
(Zombies dig it, ghouls dig it)
You'll dig it too (The Monster Motion)
All the monsters (Do the Monster Motion)
Well, the ghouls all dig my graveyard gig
Wolfman is here with his pack
From somewhere about, I hear a coffin shout
"I want my mummy back"
Wolfman, please, you're giving me fleas
Go over and dance with the Thing
Igor, you fool, be a little more cool
You just about stepped on my wing
(Zombies dig it, ghouls dig it)
You'll dig it too (The Monster Motion)
All the monsters (Do the Monster Motion)
All you zombies and bats, be regular cats
Go Janos, wail, Frankie, wail
Did I hear a yelp? Igor, it would help
If you get off of Wolfman's tail
A-tisket, a-tasket, to heck with my casket
Tonight, I'm going to be free
Let's go, everyone, join the graveyard fun
Come and do the Monster Motion with me
All the monsters (Do the Monster Motion)
All the vampires (Do the Monster Motion)
Zombies dig it (Dig the Monster Motion)
Ghouls dig it (Dig the Monster Motion)
You'll dig it (Dig the Monster Motion)
All the monsters (Dig the Monster Motion)
All the vampires (Dig the Monster Motion)
Zombies dig it

Monster Mash Party
Go, Drac, go
Master, master, I want to mash
I'll take your chains off later, Frankie
Master, please let me mash
You're next, Igor
Right after Janos
Boris, I still like the Transylvania Twist better
Who asked you, you bloodsucker?
Wail, Frankie, wail
Mash good
Igor, you're cramping my style
Alright, let's try it with a little bit of soul now
Alright, now let's try it without soul
Somebody stepped on my wing
Work hard, my children of the night
Blow, blow, daddy
Igor, you're cramping my style
Master, master
Calm yourselves, my children, calm yourselves
Go, you zombies
Go, you bats and jackals
Go, my children
I like the Twist better
Igor, will you get out of my way, please?
Mash good
Master, master, I want to mash
I'll take your chains off later, Frankie
Master, please let me mash
You're next, Igor
Right after Janos
Boris, I still like the Transylvania Twist better
Who asked you, you bloodsucker?
Wail, Frankie, wail
Mash good
Igor, you're cramping my style
Alright, let's try it with a little bit of soul now
Alright, now let's try it without soul
Somebody stepped on my wing
Work hard, my children of the night
Blow, blow, daddy
Igor, you're cramping my style
Master, master
Calm yourselves, my children, calm yourselves
Go, you zombies
Go, you bats and jackals
Go, my children
I like the Twist better
Igor, will you get out of my way, please?
Mash good

Irresistible Igor
Irresistible, irresistible, irresistible Igor
Irresistible Igor, quite dashing is he
In his nightly body-snatching
He alone holds the key
To the hearts of female zombies
They love him more and more
They see him stealing through the night
And one-by-one they fall
Irresistible Igor, I wonder what he's got?
Can't be his twisted body
And his face has gone to pot
But irresistible Igor
Has left a string of broken hearts
Each night he robs a different grave
Another heart yearns
Last night the bride of Frankenstein
And Frank will break his bones
Irresistible Igor, he's suave and debonair
He leaves the girls all crying
He really doesn't care
He started out this graveyard
With his many love affairs
But now he has more women
Than Wolfman has got hairs
Irresistible Igor, they all dig him the most
And in the Chamber of Horrors
He'll always be the host
Yes, irresistible Igor, a ghoul of broken hearts
Oh, Igor is a gentleman
Where you must not break
Knock 'em dead boy
You've got what it takes
Irresistible Igor, quite dashing is he
In his nightly body-snatching
He alone holds the key
To the hearts of female zombies
They love him more and more
They see him stealing through the night
And one-by-one they fall
Irresistible Igor, I wonder what he's got?
Can't be his twisted body
And his face has gone to pot
But irresistible Igor
Has left a string of broken hearts
Each night he robs a different grave
Another heart yearns
Last night the bride of Frankenstein
And Frank will break his bones
Irresistible Igor, he's suave and debonair
He leaves the girls all crying
He really doesn't care
He started out this graveyard
With his many love affairs
But now he has more women
Than Wolfman has got hairs
Irresistible Igor, they all dig him the most
And in the Chamber of Horrors
He'll always be the host
Yes, irresistible Igor, a ghoul of broken hearts
Oh, Igor is a gentleman
Where you must not break
Knock 'em dead boy
You've got what it takes

Bella's Bash
It's Saturday night in Transylvania Town
The midnight hour will soon roll around
I've beckoned my ghouls to the castle east
For our weekly night out and our people feast
Here comes Igor with Frankenstein
Hope they didn't bring Drac, he's no friend of mine
His jealousy is widely known
Doesn't dig my Mash, got a dance of his own
Alright, fellows, come on, let's split
Igor, don't leave those electrodes lit
Let's hurry on over to Dracula's pad
And see his new dance that's becoming a fad
Good evening, Count Dracula, sorry we're late
But Wolfman's tail got caught climbing your gate
We're all so excited since we heard your bash
Let's see this new dance that beats the Monster Mash
Alright, my children, go join in the fun
I think I'll have a drink with Drac and his son
I say there, boys, your drink's not like mine
Of course not, Boris, we don't drink wine
Enough of this drinking, let's see your new dance
Show me the steps, the motions and stance
First, you lock your wings close up tight
You flap them to the left, then you flap them to the right
Now hold on there, Bela, this dance isn't fair
Your dance move can only be done in midair
The average creature couldn't do it at all
We want no part of this bloodsucker's ball
Did you really believe by throwing this bash
Your dance would replace my Monster Mash?
Return to your graves, you devils with wings
This dance wouldn't make it with living things
You've got a lot of nerve
Oh well, I tried
Your gig will never be boss
We'll see, we'll see
Rots of ruck, fanghead
The midnight hour will soon roll around
I've beckoned my ghouls to the castle east
For our weekly night out and our people feast
Here comes Igor with Frankenstein
Hope they didn't bring Drac, he's no friend of mine
His jealousy is widely known
Doesn't dig my Mash, got a dance of his own
Alright, fellows, come on, let's split
Igor, don't leave those electrodes lit
Let's hurry on over to Dracula's pad
And see his new dance that's becoming a fad
Good evening, Count Dracula, sorry we're late
But Wolfman's tail got caught climbing your gate
We're all so excited since we heard your bash

Monster's Holiday
T'was the night before Christmas when all through the castle
My monsters were having a Yuletide hassle
The tree was all trimmed in ghoulish things
Like werewolf fangs and vampire wings
(It was a monster's holiday)
But they were up to no good
(It was a monster's holiday)
Didn't act like good monsters should
(It was a monster's holiday)
They found themselves a new play
(It was a monster's holiday)
They planned to rob Santa's sleigh
They were making a list and checking it twice
Frankenstein wanted a shiny new trike
A new chain for Janos, a brace for Igor's back
A speed shaver for Wolfman, a new cape for Drac
(Monster's holiday)
They were up to no good
(It was a monster's holiday)
Didn't act like good monsters should
(It was a monster's holiday)
They found themselves a new play
(It was a monster's holiday)
They planned to rob Santa's sleigh
The Mummy was to signal from the castle roof
At the very first sound of a reindeer hoof
As Santa slid down the chimney wall
The zombies were to make off with sleigh and all
From beyond the moat, there arose such a clatter
I jumped to the window to see what was the matter
Like a bolt of lightning, it happened so quick
And there in our midst stood old Saint Nick
He began to dig down deep in his sack
And came up with the traction for Igor's back
Drac got his cape, Frankie's trike made him behave
Even Wolfman was happy, now he can shave
(Monster's holiday)
And all ended well
(It was a monster's holiday)
And Santa was really swell
(It was a monster's holiday)
No need to rob Santa's sack
(It was a monster's holiday)
Maybe next year, he'll come back
So the children everywhere were spared the grief
Of losing their presents to a monster sleigh thief
Now the monsters love Santa and say they'll behave
And never again rob sleighs or graves
(Monster's holiday)
Igor, what do you think of Santa now?
(It was a monster's holiday)
"Santa good"
(It was a monster's holiday)
What was that he said as he drove out of sight?
(It was a monster's holiday)
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
(On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer and Vixen)
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night"
(On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen)
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-wolf open sleigh
Well, dashing through the snow
Where is that reindeer with the red nose?
On Donner, on Blitzen, on Dancer and Vixen
My monsters were having a Yuletide hassle
The tree was all trimmed in ghoulish things
Like werewolf fangs and vampire wings
(It was a monster's holiday)
But they were up to no good
(It was a monster's holiday)
Didn't act like good monsters should
(It was a monster's holiday)
They found themselves a new play

The Original Monster Mash is the only studio album by Bobby (Boris) Pickett and The Crypt-Kickers. It was recorded and released in late 1962, following the success of Pickett's "Monster Mash" single. The Crypt-Kickers included Leon Russell and Gary Paxton. In addition to the hit single, the album features spin-off songs of "Monster Mash" as well as horror-themed parodies of contemporary hits and dance trends.
The album's somewhat unwieldy title arose from the need to distinguish it in the marketplace from an album by John Zacherle on the rival Cameo-Parkway label, titled Monster Mash and featuring Zacherle's cover version of the song.
