So what happened is I was walking in the woods and what started rolling around in my head was the chorus of the Mexican hat dance
_ _ _ _ with only the word potato in it.

So there I was I just kept singing and potato potato potato potato potato potato over and over.
_ So I set myself this challenge to see if I could do this in such a way as to cause the accent to fall
at different times on each of the three syllables of potato and _
have it end up properly on toe
as opposed to Tay or Poe.
[C] _ _ _ _ It was a long walk and _ _ I now have an entire song about potatoes.
_ _ _ They're red, they're white, they're brown, they get [G] that way underground.
There can't be much to do, so now they have [C] blue ones too.
We don't care what they look like, we'll eat them any way they [G] can fit on our plate.
Every way we can conjure to eat them, we're delighted to think they're just great.
[Am] Potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, [G] potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, [C] potato, potato. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Sometimes we ditch the skin to eat what it's [G] holding in.
Sometimes we'd rather fleas have just [C] the outside with cheese.
They have eyes but they do not have faces.
I don't know if their [G] feelings get hurt by just hanging around in dark places where they
only can stare at the dirt.
[C] Potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, [G] potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato,
[C] potato, potato, potato.
_ I _ _ _ guess the use is scant for other [G] parts of the plant.
But that which grows in view is eating potato too.
I [C] imagine them under their acres out in Idaho [G] and up in Maine.
Maybe wondering if they'll be bakers or canishes or [C] latkes or plain.
