I Love My Spuds!
I love my spuds, they fill me up, and give me a warm and loving feel.
I remember when I was young, my mother standing at the kitchen sink,
Peeling spuds for the 9 of us and 25 spuds she'd peel.
I used to sit and poke at my grub, and enjoy each and every bite,
All mixed up with butter or gravy, spuds are just so right!
Roasted spuds are the best, golden like a treasure,
Piping hot inside my mouth, it gives me painful pleasure.
Mashed up spuds with curly kale, it’s truly a delight.
Spuds are what I eat, cuz spuds are just so right!
Nice fat chips with vinegar and crisps that cause you thirst.
Without spuds in the world, our happiness is cursed.
Spuds, oh spuds, I dream of you at night.
I love my spuds, cuz spuds are just so right!
