Lyrics

[Intro]
It's the latest, it's the greatest, Mashed Potato
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
A Mashed Potato started long time ago
With a guy named Sloppy Joe
You'll find this dance is so cool to do
Come on, baby, wanna teach it to you
[Chorus]
Feel that groovy beat now (Mashed Potato)
Mmm, come on and twist your feet now, baby (Mashed Potato)
Come on, honey (It's the latest)
Come on, baby (It's the greatest)
Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Mashed Potato)
[Verse 2]
And then this dance just grew and grew
They looked for records they could do it to
They found this dance was outta sight
Doin' "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"
[Chorus]
Yeah, weem-o-wep a weem-o-wep a (Mashed Potato)
Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Mashed Potato)
Aw, baby (It's the latest)
Come on, honey (It's the greatest)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Mashed Potato)
[Bridge]
Ooh, wah-ooh
Wah-ooh, wah-ooh
[Verse 3]
Now, everybody is doin' fine
They dance alone for a big boss line
Then they discovered it's the most, man
The day they did it to "Please Mr. Postman"
[Chorus]
Wait a minute, wait a minute (Mashed Potato)
Mmm, deliver the letter (Mashed Potato)
Come on, baby (It's the latest)
Oh, honey (It's the greatest)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Mashed Potato)
[Verse 4]
Well, they got with it more and more
You ought to see 'em around the floor
The Mashed Potato took a long, long list
They even do it to "Dear Lady Twist"
[Chorus]
Mmm, get up from your chair now (Mashed Potato)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Mashed Potato)
Come on, baby (It's the latest)
Ah, honey (It's the greatest)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Mashed Potato)
[Outro]
Mmm, feel that groovy beat now (Mashed Potato)
