One
potato, two potato, three potato, four!
Well, I made a batch of hot potatoes
(bend
forward and stir as in a big pot)
Dropped 'em on the floor!!
(look
shocked, and put hands on face in surprise)
Five potato, six potato, seven potato, eight!
So I stomped 'em into mashed potatoes
(stomp
feet while walking forward a few steps and then back)
And plopped 'em on a plate
(hands
out like plopping potatoes on a plate!)
Nine potato, ten potato, can't believe my eyes!
(cover
and uncover eyes in surprise)
The children ate 'em up and now they want some french fries!!!
(Say
to children "how many?" and march with swinging arms and stomping
feet while counting...)
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 fries!
(jump
up and reach over head to sky on 10)
"Again??"
Do
the count again, faster and a third time even faster then plop back down to
sitting after the last 10.
