A Hundred Pounds Of Clay Lyrics by Dee Dee Sharp Gamble

It’s Mashed Potato Time

1962

[Intro]
Every night I say a prayer
For the Boy who gave me my start, Chubby Checker
And I send my thanks to someone up above
Who did a wonderful job
[Verse 1]
He took two hundred pounds of clay
And then he said, "Hey, listen
I'm gonna fix this world today
Because it needs some twistin'."
[Chorus]
And he rolled his big sleeves up
And a brand new world began
He created Chubby and a. .
Lots of twistin' for romance
Yes he did, mm-hmm
[Verse 2]
With just two hundred pounds of clay
He made my life worth living
And I will thank him every day
For every twist, you're giving
[Verse 3]
And I'll thank him for the night
For the arms that are holding my tight
And he did it all with. .
Just two hundred pounds of clay
Yes he did, woah, yes he did, mm-hmm
[Verse 4]
Now, can't you see him walking around n' 'round
Picking up clay from a-off the ground
Doing just-a what he should do
To make a twistin' dream like you
[Chorus]
Then he rolled his big sleeves up
And a brand new world began
He created Chubby and a. .
Lots of twistin' for romance
[Outro]
Yes, he did, just two hundred pounds of clay
Mmmm, people let me tell you what he did
With just two hundred pounds of clay
People let me tell you what he did
With just two hundred pounds of clay
