(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, wanna teach it to you
(Mashed Potato) come on feel it in your feet now
(Mashed Potato) yeah yeah yeah
(Mashed Potato) come on baby
(It's the latest, it's the greatest)
And then they dance it through and through
They look for records they can do it to
They got a dance was outta sight
Doin' the lion sleeps tonight
(Mashed Potato) yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Mashed Potato) Ya a weem o wep a weem o wep,
(Mashed Potato) come on baby, ow yeah
(It's the latest, it's the greatest)
Now everybody is doin' 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
(Ow hey Mashed Potato) Wait a minute, wait a minute, yeah
(Ow hey Mashed Potato) Deliver de letter
(Ow hey Mashed Potato) come on baby
(It's the latest, it's the greatest)
(Ow hey Mashed Potato) Well they got with more and more
(Ow hey Mashed Potato) Ya ought to see 'em around the floor
(Ow hey Mashed Potato) The Mashed Potato ??????????
(It's the latest, it's the greatest) They even do it to Dear Lady Twist
(Ow hey Mashed Potato) yeah yeah yeah
(Ow hey Mashed Potato) come on baby
(Ow hey Mashed Potato) Oh, oh honey
