Mashed Potatoe Time - The Marvelettes

It’s the latest, it’s the greatest

Mashed Potato, yeah, 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) Hear that groovy beat now

(Mashed Potato) Come on and twist your feet now, baby

(It's the latest) Come on, honey

(It's the greatest) Come on, baby

(Mashed Potato) Yeah, yeah, yeah

And when this dance started through and through

They looked for records they could do it to

They found this dance is out of sight

To «When the Lion Sleeps Tonight»

(Mashed Potato) Yeah, a weem o wep a weem o wep a

(Mashed Potato) Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(It's the latest) Come on, honey

(It's the greatest) Come on, baby

Now everybody is doing 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) Come on, honey

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, they got with it more and more

You ought to see them crowd the floor

The Mashed Potato, it’s a long, long list

They even do it to «Dear Lady Twist»

(Mashed Potato) Get up off your chair now

(Mashed Potato) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(It's the latest) Come on, baby

(It's the greatest) Oh, honey

(Mashed Potato) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Mashed Potato) Hear that groovy beat now
