We were out walking, [D] and what I found [Dm] myself singing sort of uncontrollably [Eb] was the chorus
of the Mexican [B] hat thing.
[C] Only the word potato.
And so, you know, I [D] started off potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, [N] potato, potato, potato,
potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato.
And [Eb] I hated that it wasn't [C] ending right.
I had to get it to end right.
So I thought, as [A] long as I'm fiddling [D] with it, let me see if I can't [G] have each of the
three syllables in potato get to have a [Ab] chance to be the first syllable in the word.
While always maintaining the proper order of syllables and [D] ending correctly on to [E] as opposed
to te or po.
[F] It was a long walk.
[N] [A] But now the entire song is about potatoes.
They're red, they're white, they're brown.
They [E] get that way underground.
There can't be much to do.
So now they appear in slow.
We don't care what they look like instead.
We wish we could spit on them.
And we wouldn't consider to eat them.
We'd be mad if they think they're just great.
[A] Potato, potato, potato, [E] potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato.
[A] [E] [A]
[E] [A] Sometimes we fix the skin.
[E] Change what it's holding in.
Sometimes we grab a piece.
Have to see outside the jeans.
[A] They have eyes but they do not have faces.
[E] I don't know what that means.
I'm just hanging around in the dirt places.
What the hell is there at the dirt?
[A] Potato, potato, potato, potato, [E] potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, [A] potato, potato, potato.
I can't remember where I am in this song.
I'm completely [Em] spaced out so I'm [Am] thinking about it every time.
And now, what's the last verse?
I did the part about, did [Ab] I do it sometimes?
[B] I [Dm] guess they use hands.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, thank you.
I guess they use [A] the stands for other parts of [G] the [E] plant.
But that's a frozen cube.
Is it a potato too?
I imagine them wondering if they're acres.
Got a Knottle way up in Maine.
Maybe wondering if they'll be beakers.
Or could it be just a lot that were plain?
