Well,
A Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other,
And finally they got married, and had a little sweet
Potato, which they
Called
'Yam.'
Of course, they wanted the best for Yam.
When it was time, they told her about the facts
Of life.
They warned her about going
Out
And
Getting
Half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and
Get a bad
Name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and
End up with a bunch of
Tater
Tots
Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get
Her into the sack and Make a rotten potato out of her!
But on the other hand she
Wouldn't stay home
And become a Couch Potato either.
She would get
Plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her
Shoestring
Cousins.
When she went off to
Europe, Mr. And Mrs. Potato told Yam
To watch out
For the hard-boiled guys from Ireland .
And the
Greasy guys from France called the French Fries. And
When she went out West,
To
Watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped.
Yam said she would stay on the straight and
Narrow
And
Wouldn't
Associate
With
Those high class Yukon Golds, or the ones from the other
Side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all
The trucks that say,
'Frito Lay.'
Mr. And
Mrs. Potato sent Yam to! Idaho P.U. (that's
Potato
University ) so that when she graduated she'd really
Be
In the Chips.
But in spite of all they did for
Her, one-day Yam came home
And announced she was
Going to marry Tom Brokaw.
Tom Brokaw!
Mr And
Mrs.
Potato were very upset.
They
Told
Yam she couldn't
Possibly
Marry
Tom Brokaw
Because he's just...
Are you
Ready for this?
Are
You sure?
