Lyrics:

It's the latest
It's the greatest
Mashed Potato
Yeah, yeah, yeah

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
Gonna teach it to you

Mashed Potato
Feel it in your feet now
Mashed Potato
Come on get the beat now
Baby, come on
Honey, come on baby

And then they dance it through and throug
They look for records they can do it to
They got a dance was outta sight
Doing the lion sleeps tonight

Mashed Potato
Ya a weem o wep a weem o wep
Mashed Potato
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's the latest
Aw, baby
It's the greatest
Come on, honey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now everybody is doig' fine
They dance alone or in a big boss line
And they discovered it's the most, man
The day they did it to Please Mr. Postman

Mashed Potato
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Mashed Potato
Deliver the letter
It's the latest
Come on, baby
It's the greatest
Oh, honey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, they got with more and more
You ought to see 'em around the floor
The Mashed Potato [?]
They even do it to Dear Lady Twist

Mashed Potato
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's the latest
Come on, baby
It's the greatest
Oh, honey
Mashed potato
Feel the groovy beat now
