Mama makes the mashed potatoes tonight
Mama makes the mashed potatoes tonight

First she cleans them
Gently preens ‘em
Next she scrubs them
Rub a dubs em
Mama makes the mashed potatoes tonight

Mama makes the mashed potatoes tonight
Mama makes the mashed potatoes tonight
Mama makes the mashed potatoes
No kidney beans No stewed tomatoes
Mama makes the mashed potatoes

First she peels them
And she feels ‘em
Then she soaks them
Artichokes ‘em
Mama makes the mashed potatoes tonight

Mama makes the mashed potatoes tonight
Mama makes the mashed potatoes tonight

First she chops them
Cuts and tops ‘em
Finely splice them
Rice and dice ‘em
Mama makes the mashed potatoes tonight

Do the mashed potato!

Mama makes the mashed potatoes
No kidney beans No stewed tomatoes
Mama makes the mashed potatoes tonight
