This ain't the twist or the bugaloo

The mashed potato is in the groove
It's gonna make your body move                w/ (Ooo ah)
Make you snap, crackle and pop
I'm the master of hip hop

  (Mashed potato)

I'm as cool as they come
You other rappers better run
I'm as strong as Sly Stallone
I take the beat home

I'm the man on top
I can rock and hip-hop                        w/ (Ooo ah)
Other rappers gettin' sour
I'm the man of the hour

  (Mashed potato)
  (Mashed potato) yeah yeah yeah
  (It's the latest) come on (it's the greatest) come on
  (Put some gravy on your mashed potatoes)

Couplet muet  w/ solo de sax

No one can beat me at my game
I'm badder than def, Dee Dee King is my name  w/ (Ooo ah)
The mashed potato on the radio
On boom boxes, wherever you go

  2e refrain  x 4
