Chubby Checker Mashed Potato Time Lyrics:
(It's the latest.)
(It's the greatest.)
(Mashed Potato.)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(Ooo.) a-Mashed Potato started long time ago-ho-ho,
(Wah-ooo.) With a guy named a-Sloppy Joe.
(Wah-ooo.) You'll find this dance is a-cool to do,
(Wah-ooo.) Come on baby, gonna teach it to you.
(Mashed Potato.) Hear that groovy beat, now.
(Mashed Potato.) Come on and squish your feet now, baby.
(It's the latest.) Come on, baby,
(It's the greatest.) Come on, honey,
(Mashed Potato.) Yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
(Ooo.) And then this dance just drew and grew,
(Wah-ooo.) They look for records they could do it to,
(Wah-ooo.) They found this dance 'tis a-out of sight,
(Wah-ooo.) To, "When the Lion Sleeps Tonight
[4] ."
