James Brown - Mashed Potatoes U.S.A. lyrics

rate me

Here I am and I'm back again<br />

I'm doing mashed potatoes<br />

I'm gonna start by going<br />

To New York City<br />

With your number one<br />

<br />

I'm going to Boston, ow<br />

I'm going to Buffalo<br />

Straight down the road<br />

Gonna stop in Cleveland, Ohio<br />

<br />

Gonna go to your<br />

Next door neighbor<br />

I'm gonna mashed potatoes<br />

In Detroit<br />

<br />

I'm gonna swing right on<br />

Down the freeway<br />

Doing the mashed potatoes<br />

Gonna stop in Chicago<br />

And St.Louis, Missouri<br />

<br />

Going way over on the other side<br />

And stop in Memphis, Tennessee<br />

While I'm in neighborhood<br />

I'm gonna stop in Nashville too<br />

<br />

My old good old place<br />

Where everybody's having<br />

A mighty good time<br />

Charlotte, North Carolina<br />

<br />

I believe I'll mashed potatoes<br />

Where the cowboys stay<br />

Of course you know I'm<br />

Talking about Dallas, Texas<br />

And I want you to know I've got<br />

Houston, Texas on my mind<br />

<br />

Now any of these places I called<br />

And I missed your town<br />

I just want you to know<br />

I'm coming through cause<br />

I'm mashed potato bound<br />

<br />

Miami, Florida, Jacksonville too<br />

Columbia, South Carolina too<br />

And Norfolk, Virginia too<br />

<br />

San Francisco<br />

I mashed potato at the<br />

World's Fair is Seattle, Washington<br />

Los Angeles, California<br />

<br />

Going back over on the East Coast<br />

I'm going to Richmond, Virginia<br />

I'm gonna fool you<br />

Now I'm going my old hometown<br />

I'm going to Augusta, Georgia<br />
