GUEST,winterbright Children's songs (40) RE: Children's songs 13 Jan 03


Regarding PO-ta-to, PO-ta-to, PO-ta-to... I'm pretty sure Cheryl Wheeler wrote it. The first verse is: They're red, they're white, they're brown... They get that way under ground; They can't have much to do... So now they have blue ones, too... PO-ta-to,etc. Verse 2: Sometimes we ditch the skin...and eat what they're holding in...Sometimes we'd rather,please... Have just the outside with cheese. There are one or two more verses, but I'm blanking on them. Sorry. NOTE: The stressed syllable changes each line of the chorus- PO-ta-to/ TA-to-po/TO-po-ta. And you end up with a left-over syllable at the end of each line of the chorus. But believe it or not, it WORKS! But you gotta work at it! Check out "Sing Out! magazine's back files for the rest of it. Have fun!
