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)
