Mashed Potatoes

(álbum: Goin' To The Zoo - 1997)

Mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes
Drown 'em in some gravy, brown and strong
I love to hear 'em plop
I'll eat 'em till I drop
I'll eat my mashed potatoes all day long
Billy took his lunch box to school on Maple Street
The whistle blew at twelve o'clock, the kids sat down to eat
They all took out their sandwiches and then they gathered 'round
As Bill looked in his lunch box, and this is what they found
Mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes
Drown 'em in some gravy, brown and strong
I love to hear 'em plop
I'll eat 'em till I drop
I'll eat my mashed potatoes all day long
The family took an auto ride one sunny afternoon
The engine coughed and sputtered like a banjo out of tune
But now they've got it running like it's never gonna stop
'Cause they emptied out the gasoline and filled it to the top, with
Mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes
Drown 'em in some gravy, brown and strong
I love to hear them plop
I'll eat 'em till I drop
I'll eat my mashed potatoes all day long
Astronauts were landing spaceships on the surface of the moon
They a step for humankind and sang a happy tune
For they had found when they stepped down it wasn't made of cheese
They said to one another, “Would you take a look at these?”
Mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes
Drown 'em in some gravy, brown and strong
I love to hear 'em plop
I'll eat 'em till I drop
I'll eat my mashed potatoes all day long
Last winter was a long one, it snowed most every day
And when our school was over we all went out to play
My friends they built a snowman, my goodness he looked fine
But they all fell down with laughter when they saw that I built mine, of
Mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes
Drown 'em in some gravy, brown and strong
I love to hear 'em plop
I'll eat 'em till I drop
I'll eat my mashed potatoes all day long
I love to hear 'em plop
I'll eat 'em till I drop
I'll eat my mashed potatoes all day long
