Misc Children – David Grover - Mashed Potatoes (Guitar)

    A
Now Billy took his lunchbox

                    E
To school on Maple Street

E
The whistle blew at twelve o′clock,

                    A
We all sat down to eat

A
The kids took out their sandwiches

    D
And then they gathered 'round

     E
Bill opened up his lunchbox,

                      A
And this is what they found

         D                A
Mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes

A                 D                E
Drown ′em in some gravy, brown and strong

      D
Oh, I love to hear 'em plop

     A
I'll eat ′em till I drop

                   E                A
I′ll eat my mashed potatoes all day long

     A
The family took an auto ride

               E
One sunny afternoon

E
The engine coughed and sputtered

                    A
Like a banjo out of tune

A
But now they've got it running like

     D
It′s never gonna stop

            E
'Cause they emptied out the gasoline

                     A
And filled it to the top, with...

         D                A
Mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes

A                 D                E
Drown ′em in some gravy, brown and strong

      D
Oh, I love to hear 'em plop

     A
I'll eat ′em till I drop

                   E                A
I′ll eat my mashed potatoes all day long

     A
This winter was a long one,

                     E
It snowed most every day

    E
And when our school was over

                   A
We all went out to play

    A
The kids had built a snowman

   D
My goodness, he looked fine

         E
But they all fell down with laughter

                          A
When they saw that I made mine of...

         D                A
Mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes

A                 D                E
Drown ′em in some gravy, brown and strong

      D
Oh, I love to hear 'em plop

     A
I'll eat ′em till I drop

                   E                A
I′ll eat my mashed potatoes all day long

        A
Now the men are landing spaceships

                      E
On the surface of the moon

     E
They took a step for mankind while

                  A
They sang a happy tune

    A
For they had found when they stepped down

                  D
It wasn't made of cheese!

     E
They said to one another,

                               A
"Hey! Would you take a look at these?" It was...

         D                A
Mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes

A                 D                E
Drown ′em in some gravy, brown and strong

      D
Oh, I love to hear 'em plop

     A
I'll eat ′em till I drop

                    E               A
I′ll eat my mashed potatoes all day long

      D
Oh, I love to hear ′em plop

     A
I′ll eat 'em till I drop

                     E              A
I′ll eat my mashed potatoes all day long
