"Encore! Encore! Encore!"
Alright, alright! Calm down! I know just the thing
Let's bring back a classic, why don't we now?
Ah, but, this ain't your grand-mama's mash
I was working in my study, late one night
When my mind sparked up with an idea so bright
A classic, Gothic party with a modern twist
And one hell of a theme tune. It goes like this
(It was the Mash!)
It was the Monster Mash!
(The Monster Mash)
It was a graveyard smash
(It was the Mash)
It caught on in a flash
(It was the Mash!)
It was the Monster Mash!
An open-invite bash for every monster, fiend and beast
It seems old Renfield's in charge of the feast
For dinner, blood wine with fried orphan thigh
A mouse-and-cat pâté served with caramelized fly
(Before the Mash)
Before the Monster Mash!
(The Monster Mash)
Before the graveyard smash
(Before the Mash)
Oh, it'll catch on in a flash
(Before the Mash)
When they do the Monster Mash!
"Where's that old square Henry?"
Drac said to Hyde
"Oh! He won't be making an appearance tonight..."
"And Frankenstein, what of that scientist? Come on! Let us at him!"
"Frankenstein is the scientist. My name's Adam"
(And then they mashed)
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 crew were all having fun
The party had just begun!
The music was awfully rockin'
The band and guest list, the same and one
Plus-ones welcomed! See the Vampyr Sisters Three
See Livesey and Utterson reminiscing about ol' Blighty
See a one Vlad Țepeș trying to hunt his prey
But Mina's gaze seems to be over Carmilla's way
(She watched her mash)
She did the Monster Mash!
(The Monster Mash)
Oh, she did that graveyard smash
(She did the Mash)
It caught on in a flash
(She did the Mash)
When she did the Monster Mash!
Young Jim Hawkins seemed out of place for a while
But as his accordion bellowed, he couldn't help but smile!
Winston Smith sat hunched, typing on his old PC
"Two plus two is four. To know this is to be free"
(And so they mashed)
They did the Monster Mash!
(The Monster Mash)
Oh! They did that graveyard smash
(They did the Mash)
Oh, they'd caught on in a flash
(They did the Mash)
Oh! They did the Monster Mash!
So let us raise a toast to the eternal night!
"To mighty adventure!"
"To love!"
"To lust!"
"To fury!"
"To the proles!"
"To vice!"
Let us damn the fools that refuse to have fun!
Let us sing as all! And let us dance as one!
"Oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh, o-o-oh!"
"And let us mash!"
Oh! We'll do the Monster Mash!
"The Monster Mash!"
OH! We'll do that graveyard smash!
"We'll do the Mash!"
Oh, it will catch on in a flash!
"We'll do the Mash!"
We'll do the Monster Mash!
Such cacophonous crash!
Don't be afraid to be brash!
Throw your cares in the trash!
Now, wasn't that blast? What a delightful reprieve
A magnificent Monster Mash that you wouldn't believe
For you, the living, this Mash was meant, too
When you get to our door
Tell them Chonny sent you
