Thanks for the lyrics Emily! I put the changes to it tonight as I hear them. The very end is missing a few but my little potato woke up and now I have to go to sleep. Enjoy!

Let's talk about root crops (they dug you up)

It's late at night, I hope this little bottle helps you go to sleep...

To make a grown man-child;
            F            G
I'll go and play in the mud

To be with you, my spud;
             F       G
Potato, when you came out

You had wrinkles on the bottoms of your feet.

Whoa, oh oh now,

You are so sweet, potato

So small
It's very small
