  			G                                                D 
There was a guy from P.E.I. they used to call potato 
                                        G 
He met this young Leemington Ontario tomato 
                                                      D 
But he had eyes for other girls and she was a little mushy 
                                                            G   
And so they said well let's get wed there's no sense being buzzy 

C                        G                D 
Baked size french fries how they loved tomatos 
 
So dress them up with Heinz ketchup 
                  G  
Ketchup loves potatos 
  D               G 
Ketchup loves potatos 
 
 
So he went down to Windsor town to buy a ring on Monday 
Saturday they said o.k. we'll cut the cake on Sunday 
But Sunday came & what a shame they had no one to fetch it 
Without a cake they just sat & ate potato chips & ketchup 
Chorus 
 
And so this guy from P.E.I. they used to call potato 
He's got to boys & a little girl 
Two spuds & one tomato 
They romp & run around Leemington  
And boy when they get hungry 
The bottle drips all over the chips 
Way down in ketchup country 
Chorus
