Me And Mr. Potatohead

In your own sweet way
 Your nose is very red today 
Your eyes are in your belly
 Yet still you are my favorite plastic toy.

You’re my favorite root
 Your hair looks like a kiwi fruit 
Your ears are in your belly 
Where have I lost your white plastic mouth and your feet?

You’re no food, no 
Not a strange fruit 
But, where are your hands 
Now I understand 
No help without a hand.

Can we play today?
Oh, even though your hat’s astray
Plastic head, my plastic head
 Looks like you had a hard time
 But you can be so sublime 
You’re the best, potato head.

I can never tell
 where all your other parts fell
lost forever under the bed
 limbs that were taken by our cat
 my old friend now you are gone
my old potato head, the best potato head
