  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 ??????????  
  They even do  
 it to Dear Lady Twist.  
    
  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.
