Das Kartoffellied English translation
von Lichterkinder

We’re singing the potato song,
Singing just for you!
Without you, lovely spuddy friend,
What would people do?
Without you, lovely spuddy friend,
What would people do?

Mashed potatoes — oh, so nice!
With salt and nutmeg too.
Tastes so good and soft and warm,
A dream come true!
Fried potatoes, thinly sliced,
Golden, crisp, and neat —
Add some onions to the pan,
What a tasty treat!


We’re singing the potato song,
Singing just for you!
Without you, lovely spuddy friend,
What would people do?
Without you, lovely spuddy friend,
What would people do?

Boil them in their jackets too,
Eat with butter or some cheese.
Simple food, but full of joy —
It’s sure to please!
Potato pancakes, what a hit!
With applesauce on top,
Once you start, you just can’t quit —
You’ll eat the lot!

We’re singing the potato song,
Singing just for you!
Without you, lovely spuddy friend,
What would people do?
Without you, lovely spuddy friend,
What would people do?
