Dr. Jekyll threw a party at the Mad House Inn
It was a big turn up, came all his friends
Everybody came with intentions to bop
The week must sit and the strong must rock
They were rockin', ma-ma-ma, they were boppin'
Everybody was rockin' and boppin' to the madhouse jump
(A-a-ha)

The Witch Docter came about eleven o'clock
The Purple People Eater was blowin' his top
In walked the Creature from the Black Lagune
The Old Wooden Man started hummin' a tune
They were rockin', ma-ma-ma, they were boppin'
Everybody was rockin' and boppin' to the madhouse jump

Half past twelve came Frankenstein
The joint started jumpin', they were havin' a time
Fool Hunchback started ringin' his bells
He looked at Frank and began to yell (aaaah!)
They were rockin', ma-ma-ma, they were boppin'
Everybody was rockin' and a-boppin' to the madhouse jump
(A-a-ha)

Dr. Jekyll switched into Mr. Hyde
And then the whole joint started goin' wild
Hyde chased Dracula all around the room
He reached in the corner and he grabbed a broom
They were rockin', ma-ma-ma, they were boppin'
Everybody was rockin' and boppin' to the madhouse jump
(Aaaah, rockin')
