Somebody asked for Monster Mash a couple of weeks ago. Here 'tis
courtesy of two of my fellow band members:

{t:Monster Mash}
{st:Bobby "Boris" Pickett}
{st: written in G, tape slightly flatter}
(door creak; cauldron bubble; 4 bars drum intro)
I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from the slab began to rise
And suddenly, to my surprise
{soc}
(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
{eoc}
From my laboratory in the Castle East
To the Master Bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abode
To get a jolt from my electrode
{soc}
(And do the mash) And do the Monster Mash
(The monster mash) And do my graveyard smash
(To do the mash) They caught on in a flash
(To do the mash) To do the monster mash
{eoc}
The scene was rocking all were digging the sound
Igor on chains backed by His Baying Hounds
The Coffin Bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, the Crypt Kicker Five
{C:Bridge}
The Zombies were having fun (In-a-shoop-wha-ooo)
The party had just begun (In-a-shoop-wha-ooo)
The guests included WolfMan (In-a-shoop-wha-oooSTOP)
Dracula and his son (Drum fill)
Out from his coffin Drac's voice did ring
It seems he was worried 'bout just one thing
Opened the lid and shook his fist, and said
"Whatever hoppened to my Transylvania Tvist?"
{soc}
(It's now the mash) It's now the Monster Mash
(The monster mash) And it's a graveyard smash
(It's now the mash) It's caught on in a flash
(It's now the mash) It's now the Monster Mash
{eoc}
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my Monster Mash, it's 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
{soc}
(And you can Mash) And you can Monster Mash
(The monster mash) And do my graveyard Smash
(And you can Mash) You'll catch on in a flash
(Then you can Mash) Then you can Monster Mash
{eoc}
(I - II - IV - V verse instr fade with Boris & Igor talkover)
Igor: MMMM...Mash goooood! Mash goood!
Boris: Down Igor, you impetuous young boy.
Igor: Mash goooood, etc.
