Spot The Potato

When There's Tears In the Eyes of a Potato

Johnny said goodbye to his sweetie pie

He said I'll be back in ninety years

She said listen John

you'll miss me when you're gone

You're gonna weap a bucket full of tears

But Johnny said you know my love is cold

So listen woman while I get you told

When the teeth of a comb begin to chatter

And a river's mouth can sing a hot-cha song

When all fat men are trying to get fatter

And plumbers always bring their tools along

When a bird has to use an elevator

And the fire engines all are painted blue

When there's tears in the eyes of a potato

Then I'll be crying for you

When a hat band can play a perfect rhythym

And an ear of corn can recognize the tune

When the leg of a chair has rheumatism

And Christmas is the 25th of June

When a goldfish can lick an aligator

And when cows learn to crow and roosters moo

When there's tears in the eyes of a potato

Then I'll be crying for you

When the bed of a river needs a blanket

And the leaves of every book turn red in fall

When the vinegar's mother has to spank it

And the statues come a-running when you call

When the Eskimos buy refrigerators

And the foot of a mountain needs a shoe

When there's tears in the eyes of a potato

Then I'll be crying for you
