Sorry Gio - didn't see this when you posted earlier. Here are the lyrics. (A step up from (Hey) La, La, La! and quite fun in its own way)

ONE POTATO TWO


One day I was sitting on a fence,
A girl came up to me and she didn't make sense, no.
She said, "Come down, boy, sit beside me on the floor.
Count one potato, two potato, three potato, four, yeah"

  I didn't know what came over me,
  I was not myself.
  I wouldn't do this for anyone,
  She meant this for someone else.

I didn't know if I was wrong or right,
The idea sounded silly, but the girl was out of sight, yeah.
I asked her for her name and she told me Denore.
I counted one potato, two potato, three potato, four, yeah.

  I didn't know what came over me,
  I was not myself.
  I wouldn't do this for anyone,
  She meant this for someone else.

We went steady since that strange event.
Soon we both were married, plus the children, heaven sent, yeah.
I told my son, one day, if it's a girl you're looking for
Count one potato, two potato, three potato, four, yeah.
Count one potato, two potato, three potato, four, yeah.
Count one potato, two potato, three potato, four, yeah.
