Lyrics

I had one potato, very round and small,
I put it on the table and it didn't stay at all.

Roll roll roll, down it goes,
Roll roll roll, past my toes!
Roll roll roll, out the door,
And I don't have a potato any more!

It rolled through the kitchen and it rolled down the hall,
It rolled past the cat, who did nothing at all.
It rolled under a chair and it rolled round a chair,
And it rolled out the window into open air!

Roll roll roll, down it goes,
Roll roll roll, past my toes!
Roll roll roll, out the door,
And I don't have a potato any more!

It rolled down the lane and it rolled down the hill,
It rolled past a farmer who is running there still.
It rolled through a puddle and it rolled through a gate,
It rolled into a field and it rolled in — dead straight!

Roll roll roll, down it goes,
Roll roll roll, past my toes!
Roll roll roll, out the door,
And I don't have a potato any more!

So I planted another one, very round and small,
And I grew a hundred more — and I dropped them ALL.
