hot potato
oh, don't you let it lamely fall
you see a number of your teammates have all misplayed it
a lively little game
if you drop it, you're to blame
a fiery spud, you threw, oh so calculated

quickly is the way these players throw
yeah, you must toss it fast
you don't want this tuber to land beside ya
this sport's a ball, yeah, i tell ya its fine
just to throw
but do not fling it slow...its gotta fly like hell
don't let a slip occur...i never do myself
cause i play a great deal...i guess i just got the feel

hot potato
oh, there just ain't no time to stall
but you don't want to fumble...you know that plainly
don't toss it at my eye...you know you do from time to time
it undermines the fun and it seems ungainly

quickly is the way these players throw
yeah, you must toss it fast
you don't want this tuber to land beside ya
this sport's a ball, yeah, i tell ya its fine
just to throw
but do not fling it slow...its gotta fly like hell
don't let a slip occur...i never do myself
cause i play a great deal...i guess i just got the feel

yeah yeah yeah yeah...i guess i just got the feel

hot potato
oh, you just flip it like a ball
to someone near...its best to do it impromptu
zinging all the time
and if you miss it, its a crime
you could lose your mind

quickly is the way these players throw
yeah, you must toss it fast
you don't want this tuber to land beside ya
this sport's a ball, yeah, i tell ya its fine
