Thread Name: Lyr Add: Little Potato (Malcolm Dalglish/Metamora)
Subject: Lyr Add: LITTLE POTATO (from Metamora)
Little Potato
by Metamora?

chorus: You're my little potato
You're my little potato
You're my little potato, they dug you up
You come from underground

The world is big,
So big;
It's very big.
To you
It's new;
It's new to you.

[chorus]

Let's talk about root crops (they dug you up)
And lamb chops (they chew on you)
And things to eat
Like apples and cheese and 'nanas and cream;
Jellies and butter
It's late at night, I hope this little bottle
Helps you go to sleep...

They must have grown you wild
To make a grown man-child;
I'll go and play in the mud
To be with you, my spud;
Potato, when you came out
Looking red as a beet,
You had wrinkles on the bottoms of your feet.

Whoa, oh oh now,
You are so sweet, potato

(alt. chorus)
You're my sweet potato
You're my sweet potato, dug you up
You come from underground

You smile
A smile
A little smile
The world is small,
So small
It's very small

[chorus]

You're my little potato
You're my little potato
You're my little potato...

Note: Metamora recorded this on their self-titled (first?) album, but they didn't include any credits for the songs. I assume the band wrote them themselves.
