G D
There was a guy from P.E.I. they used to call potato
G
He met this young Leemington Ontario tomato
D
But he had eyes for other girls and she was a little mushy
G
And so they said well let's get wed there's no sense being buzzy
C G D
Cho... Baked size french fries how they loved tomatos
So dress them up with Heinz ketchup
G
Ketchup loves potatos
D G
Ketchup loves potatos
So he went down to Windsor town to buy a ring on Monday
Saturday they said o.k. we'll cut the cake on Sunday
But Sunday came & what a shame they had no one to fetch it
Without a cake they just sat & ate potato chips & ketchup
Cho...
And so this guy from P.E.I. they used to call potato
He's got to boys & a little girl
Two spuds & one tomato
They romp & run around Leemington
And boy when they get hungry
The bottle drips all over the chips
Way down in ketchup country
Cho...
