D                       Bm
My baby woke me up this mornin'
D                             Bm
She said get down that labour exchange,
D                                 Bm
And if you don't come home with a job son,
A                      F#m
You'll get no dinner today.
A                      G
You gotta secure me a weekly workin' wage.

D                        Bm
You'll get no more fancy cookin',
D                        Bm
You'll get no more apple pie,
D                               Bm
You'll just get those plain hot potatoes
    A           G
To satisfy your appetite.

Chorus:
D                 Bm
La la la la la la Potatoes,
D                     Bm
Boiled, French fried, any old way
that you wanna decide.
D             Bm
Hot potatoes, yeh,
             A     G
I want your lovin' every single day.

I said I don't need your fancy cooking
I like the simple things in life
Just give me those plain hot potatoes
And I'll be well satisfied
They'll satisfy my appetite

Chorus:
La la la la la la Potatoes
Boiled, French fried, any old way
that you wanna decide
Hot potatoes, yeh

             A      G            Bm
I want your lovin' 60 minutes an hour,
             A      G          Bm
I want your lovin' 24 hours a day,
             A     G        Bm
I want your lovin' 7 days a week.
A
Yeh, yeh, oh yeh.

D           Bm    D            Bm
I want your love, I need your love,
D                    Bm
But all I get is hot potatoes
A                        F#m
When I come home late at night
A             G
To satisfy my appetite.

Don't give me no more potatoes
Boiled, French fried, any old way you wanna decide
Hot potatoes
I want your lovin' every single day
I want your lovin'

La la la la la la Potatoes
Boiled, French fried, any old way that
you wanna decide
Hot potatoes, Hot potatoes, yeh
