Lyrics:
I love potatoes and how bout you?
French Fries Potato Bread Yeah even in my stew
Breakfast it’s hash browns Lunchtime it’s tots
Mashed potatoes and gravy for dinner why not?
You can slice em n dice em boil an broil
or throw it a fire wrapped up in tin foil
make chips for dip with cheese it’s au gratin
spuds from this state won’t be forgotten.
I-D-A-H-O Po-tay-tow
I-D-A-H-O Po-tay-tow
You say po-tay-tow I say po-tah-to
don’t matter still love em why? cuz I got to
get a whole bag of idaho taters
have one right now and save one for laters
power went out? no need to fret cuz
I use my potato to power this light bulb.
I-D-A-H-O Po-tay-tow
I-D-A-H-O Po-tay-tow
How do you spell potato? I-D-A-H-O
How do you spell potato? I-D-A-H-O
How do you spell potato? I-D-A-H-O

So Throw your hands in the air I wanna hear you shout.
I-D-A-H-O Po-tay-tow
