My baby woke me up this mornin’
She said get down that labour exchange,
And if you [bad word] home with a job son,
You’ll get no dinner to-day.
You gotta secure me a weekly workin’ wage.
You’ll get no more fancy cookin’,
You’ll get no more apple pie,
You’ll just get those plain hot potatoes
To satisfy your appetite.

La la la la la la potatoes,
Boiled, french fried, any old way that you wanna decide.
Hot potatoes, yeh,
I want your lovin’ every single day.

I said I don’t need your fancy cooking,
I like the simple things in life,
Just give me those plain hot potatoes
And I’ll be well satisfied,
They’ll satisfy my appetite.

La la la la la la potatoes,
Boiled, french fried, any old way that you wanna decide.
Hot potatoes, yeh,
I want your lovin’ 60 minutes an hour,
I want your lovin’ 24 hours a day,
I want your lovin’ 7 days a week.
Yeh, yeh, oh yeh.
I want your love, I need your love,
But all I get is hot potatoes
When [bad word] home late at night
To satisfy my appetite.

Don’t give me no more potatoes,
Boiled, french fried, any old way you wanna decide.
Hot potatoes,
I want your lovin’ every single day.
I want your lovin’

La la la la la la potatoes,
Boiled, french fried, any old way that you wanna decide.
Hot potatoes, hot potatoes, yeh.
