Similar, but not the song I was thinking of. IIRC, here's the refrain of the one I'm thinking of: :Oh, no, don't slay that potato, let us be merciful please! :[maybe a line ending in "cheese"] :Don't fry it or (shake?) it, for God's sake don't bake it! :Don't shed the poor blood, of that poor helpless spud, :It's the worst kind of thing you could do. :Oh, no, don't slay that potato, what never done nothin to you. Does Mr. Brust have any favorite food songs he wants to share with us? --KG
