Songtexte Mashed Potato Time - The Ronettes

(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-a Sloppy Joe
You'll find this dance is-a cool to do
Come on baby, gonna teach it to you

(Mashed potato) Hear that groovy beat now, child
(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, yeah

And then this dance just grew and grew
They look for records that could do it to
They found this dance was outta sight
Doin' "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"

(Mashed potato) Whip-a, whip-a, whip-a, whip-a
(Mashed potato) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
(It's the latest) Come on honey
(It's the greatest) Come on honey
(Mashed potato) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now everybody is-a doin' fine
They danced along for a bit more time
And they discovered it's the most dance
The day they did it to "Please Mr. Postman"

(Mashed potato) Wait a minute, wait a minute
(Mashed potato) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
(It's the latest) Come on honey
(It's the greatest) Come on honey
(Mashed potato) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well they did it more and more
You ought to see 'em around the floor
The mashed potato took a long list
They even do it to "Dear Lady Twist"

(Mashed potato) Wait a minute, wait a minute
(Mashed potato) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
(It's the latest) Come on honey
(It's the greatest) Come on honey
(Mashed potato) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
