Hot Potato Lyrics & Chords By Kevin Coyne

My baby's a hot potato

This song's about a girl called a hot potato
She couldn't learn to dance, so, I had to make her
And I call her my hot potato
'Cause she can dance all around the floor
There it goes

My baby's a hot potato
She can't dance but I know I'll make her
She's so dumb, she can't see
Her lack of ability is killing me

She's gotta be a hot potato
She's gotta be a hot potato

Soon, she's got to learn to rock
She's got to learn to roll
She's got to learn to move
She's got to get some soul

Oh baby, get up off that chair
Hold my hand, you'll soon be there
Dance with me baby, my baby's a hot potato
You gotta be a hot potato, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm gonna take you
Take you downtown
I'm gonna show you the bright lights
Show you around

You'll soon learn to dance
Like you've never done before
You'll learn to rock
You'll learn to shake the floor

My baby's a hot potato
Bound to be a hot potato yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, she's dancing now
Oh, she learnt so fast

Down and around she goes
Up and down, round and round
Up and down, round and round
Oh hot potato, hot potato

So, you've learned
You know what to do
Now, you're my girl
You're gonna love me true

I'm gonna kiss you, I'm gonna take you out
There ain't no barriers, now, we can shout, alright
Oh, we're both hot potatos
We're both hot potatos, now, right now

Away we go
We're going round and round
Away we go
We're going round and round

Oh, up and down
Oh, up and down
Oh, up and down, baby
Oh, up and down, baby

Work it out
We're both hot potatos
We're both hot potatos now
