lyrics

She is loved; she's not dirty anywhere.
Just ask Prince William. He's seen her underwear.
She's not wearing a dirndl. It's called a skirt.
Prince William lifts it up when he feels like flirting.

Potato...

She'll carry that dream like a full glass of water,
carefully not spilling the feeling that someone loves her.
She knows you're left climbing through rubble and smog.
You can love that potato, but you'll be loving a dead dog.

She's done everything right.
She's got yarn to spin.
Why won't he ask her vagina
"let me in."

Potato.
