Lyrics Mashed Potatoe Time - The Marvelettes

Mashed Potatoe Time

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
