Ugly Potato

[Verse 1]
You’re lumpy and bumpy
Little dirt on your crown
All the other veggies
Turn their noses and frown
You’re rolling off the counter
Into my open hand
I hold you up and whisper
“You don’t need to understand”

[Chorus]
Ugly potato
You’re my favorite thing on the plate though
Funny little face
Crooked halo
Everybody points
But they don’t know
Ugly potato
You’re a masterpiece in a plain coat
Golden on the inside
I say so
Stay just how you are
My ugly potato (oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Bag full of perfect
But I grabbed you instead
Little scar on your shoulder
Like a story never said
They hide you in the back row
Under plastic and glare
I see a tiny hero
In a brown
Wrinkled stare

[Chorus]
Ugly potato
You’re my favorite thing on the plate though
Funny little face
Crooked halo
Everybody points
But they don’t know
Ugly potato
You’re a masterpiece in a plain coat
Golden on the inside
I say so
Stay just how you are
My ugly potato (hey!)

[Bridge]
One day they’ll line up
For the odd ones in the bowl
They’ll finally catch up
To what I already know
Beauty on a billboard
Fades like a show
But you keep getting softer
The longer that you’re close

[Chorus]
Ugly potato
You’re my favorite thing on the plate though
Funny little face
Crooked halo
Everybody laughs
But they don’t know
Ugly potato
You’re a love song in a plain coat
Golden on the inside
I say so
Stay just how you are
My ugly potato
