It's the latest, it's the greatest
Mashed potato, ya, 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, ya, ya, ya, ya
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
ya a weem o wep a weem o wep
(Mashed potato) ya, ya, ya, ya
(It's the latest) oh, 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
wait a minute, wait a minute
(Mashed potato) deliver the letter
(It's the latest) oh, baby
(It's the greatest) come on, honey
Ya, ya, ya, ya
Well they got with more and more
Ya ought to see 'em around the floor
The mashed potato long long list
They even do it to Dear Lady Twist
get up on your tail now
(Mashed potato) ya, ya, ya, ya
(It's the latest) come on, baby
(It's the greatest) oh, honey
Ya, ya, ya, ya
feel the groovy beat now
I met her when I was 7 years old. It was at some sort of event. She was there and so was Muhammad Ali. He was Cassius Clay at the time. He was trying to to hit on her. They were both really young. I got their autographs twice during the day. Threw them away sometime when I was a teenager. What a mistake!
Actually, I kinda tend to wander. My grandma was older when stuff like this was out. I was in about middle school when this song came out. LONG LIVE 50s 60s SONGS! Remember these are the songs I grew up with.
