I remember when I was a potato, About to die By the fry- -ing pan, And that was the devious, Devilish, Fiendish, Plan. They wanted me Like lust from their bellies, Their pillow lint belly buttons Begged for my meat, Calling for my **** By boiling, rolling, heat. I did what I could, With my potato eye! I rolled like Ollie Away from the fry! Went off the counter Landed with a smack, Swore to my potato skin That I ain't going back! I rolled across the floor Right under their nose! A small child saw me Said to his ma, "Mr.potato head, there he goes!" I soldiered on, Got dirt in my eye! But swore to myself, Never the fry! So I was near the door Rolling a lopsided way, I could see the light, The sweet light of day! I tried to roll faster And tunnel sighted my eye, I was getting so close I was screaming "Goodbye!" Then between the counter and door, A distance I mistook, Out went the sun, And I was squished, underfoot.

Potato Run-Away!
I remember when I was a potato, About to die By the fry- -ing pan, And that was the devious, Devilish, Fiendish, Plan. They wanted me Like lust from their bellies, Their pillow lint belly buttons Begged for my meat, Calling for my **** By boiling, rolling, heat. I did what I could, With my potato eye! I rolled like Ollie Away from the fry! Went off the counter Landed with a smack, Swore to my potato skin That I ain't going back! I rolled across the floor Right under their nose! A small child saw me Said to his ma, "Mr.potato head, there he goes!" I soldiered on, Got dirt in my eye! But swore to myself, Never the fry! So I was near the door Rolling a lopsided way, I could see the light, The sweet light of day! I tried to roll faster And tunnel sighted my eye, I was getting so close I was screaming "Goodbye!" Then between the counter and door, A distance I mistook, Out went the sun, And I was squished, underfoot.
