Monster Mash Lyrics
Artist: Bobby "Boris" Pickett & The Cryptkickers
Composed by: Bobby "Boris" Pickett and Lenny Capizzi
Fun Facts: "Monster Mash" was rejected by every major record label. Undaunted, producer Gary Paxton jumped in his car and distributed a thousand records to every radio station he could find. The tune hit number one in just eight weeks.
The King was unimpressed. Elvis Presley thought "Monster Mash" was the most ridiculous song he'd ever heard. Boris Karloff loved it!

Monster Mash (Excerpt)
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 ...

A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia
Monster Mash is a 1962 novelty song and the best-known song by Bobby "Boris" Pickett. The song was released as a single on Gary S. Paxton's Garpax Records label in October 1962 along with a full-length LP called The Original Monster Mash, which contained several other monster-themed tunes. The Monster Mash single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on October 20 of that year, just in time for Halloween. It has been a perennial holiday favorite ever since. Pickett was an aspiring actor who sang with a band called The Cordials at night while going to auditions during the day. One night, while performing with his band, Pickett did a monologue in imitation of horror movie actor Boris Karloff while performing The Diamonds' Little Darlin. The audience loved it and fellow band member Lenny Capizzi encouraged Pickett to do more with the Karloff imitation.
