A Mighty Wind movie - Potato's In The Paddy Wagon lyrics
rate meSong by The New Main Street Singers<br /><br>
Come on boys, Potato’s in the paddy wagon, gotta get her outta there,<br>
Come on boys, Potato’s in the paddy wagon, mama says it just ain’t fair.<br>
<br>
One night mama went to fetch us up a sweet potato, fell down the cellar stairs,<br>
Stork dropped in while she was on the floor, so my sister was born down there.<br>
Daddy says this'n will be nothin' but a misery, never will be worth a damn,<br>
But mama just loved her little sweet potato baby, with a face like a parboiled yam.<br>
<br>
Come on boys, Potato’s in the paddy wagon, gotta get her outta there,<br>
Come on boys, Potato’s in the paddy wagon, mama says it just ain’t fair.<br>
<br>
Potato grew up to be as pretty as a peach, in her calico and honey yellow curls,<br>
Went to the apple cider ball at the armory with all the other ripe and ready girls.<br>
Sheriff Dan Pike, picked Potato for the polka, but she spurned him with a fiddle de-dee,<br>
And before she could turn around and find another partner, Sheriff took her into custody.<br>
<br>
Come on boys, Potato’s in the paddy wagon, gotta get her outta there,<br>
Come on boys, Potato’s in the paddy wagon, mama says it just ain’t fair.<br>
<br>
Mama'n' daddy put together quite a little posse countin’ me and Jack and cousin Will,<br>
We all hopped into the old Chevy pickup and we caught ‘em at the top of the hill,<br>
Daddy took his Remington and shot away the lock, for to set his little darlin’ free,<br>
But Potato said, “Daddy, shut the gol-dern door, Sheriff wants to marry me!”<br>
<br>
Let’s go boys, Potato’s in the paddy wagon, guess we better leave her there,<br>
Let’s go boys, Potato’s in the paddy wagon, mama says it’s more than fair,<br>
Let’s go boys, Potato’s in the paddy wagon, guess we better leave her there,<br>
Let’s go boys, Potato’s in the paddy wagon, mama says it’s more than fair,<br>
Mama says it’s more than fair<br>
Mama says it’s more... than fair!<br>
<br>
<br>
