It's the latest it's the greatest

Mashed Patato ya ya ya

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 through

They look for records they can do it to

They got a dance was outta sight

Doin' the lion sleeps tonight

Mashed Potato Ya a weem o wep a weem o wep

Mashed Potato ya ya ya ya

It's the latest aw baby

It's the greatest come on honey

Ya ya ya ya

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

Mashed Potato wait a minute wait a minute

Mashed Potato deliver de letter

It's the latest come on baby

It's the greatest oh honey

Ya ya ya ya

Well they got with more and more

Ya ought to see em around the floor

The Mashed Potato belong with me

They even do it to Dear Lady Twist

Mashed Potato they are Mashed Potato

Mashed Potato ya ya ya ya

It's the latest come on baby

It's the greatest oh honey

Mashed potato feel the groovy beat now
