Here I am and I'm back again
I'm gonna mash potatoes
I'm gonna start by going to New York City which is number one
I'm going to Boston, ow
I'm going to Buffalo
Going straight down the road, I'm gonna stop to Cleveland, Ohio
Gonna go to your next door neighbor
I'm gonna mash potatoes in Detroit, too
I'm gonna swing right on down the freeway
Doing the mash potatoes, gonna stop at Chicago
ย
And St. Louis, Missouri
Going way over on the other side and stop in Memphis, Tennessee
While I'm in the neighborhood I'm gonna stop in Nashville, too
My old good old place
Where everybody's having a mighty good time
In Charlotte, North Carolina
I believe I'll mash potatoes where the cowboys stay
Of course you know I'm talking about Dallas, Texas
And I want you to know I got Houston, Texas on my mind
Ow
Now if any of these places I call and I miss your town
I just want you to know I'm coming
'Cause I'm mashed potato bound
Miami, Florida, Jacksonville, too
Columbia, South Carolina, too
Ow, and Norfolk, Virginia, too
San Francisco
I mash potatoes at the World's Fair in Seattle, Washington
Los Angeles, California
Going back over on the East Coast
I'm going to Richmond, Virginia
I'm gonna fool you
Now I'm going to my old hometown
I'm going to Augusta, Georgia
Spelled A-G-U-S-T-A
