Potato Chips
Potato Chips, how my mouth just drips
Potato Chips, how my mouth just drips
Crunch, crunch, I don't want no lunch
All I want is potato chips
Potato Chips, how my mouth just drips
Potato Chips, how my mouth just drips
Crunch, crunch, I don't want no lunch
All I want is potato chips
No matter where it is
You'll always find a bag around
Be it in a bar or picnic, even a baseball ground
Potato Chips, how my mouth just drips
Potato Chips, holy drip drip drips
Crunch, crunch, I don't want no lunch
All I want is potato chips
Bag bag bag
Bag of Potato Chips
Potato Chips, high crunchy, crunchy
Potato Chips, crunch, crunchy, crunchy
Crunch, crunch, crunch, I don't want no lunch
All I want is potato chips
Potato Chips, how my mouth just drips
Potato Chips, crunchy, crunchy, crunchy, crunchy, crunchy, crunchy
Don't bring me no lunch, All I want is potato chips
No matter where it is
You'll find a bag around
I could be even in a bar or picnic, or a baseball ground
Doesn't matter
Potato, potato, a chippy chipo
Crunch, crunch
Bring me no lunch, All I want is potato chips
