Hot Potato Lyrics - 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
