Nashville Kids' Sound - Pass The Hot Potato Lyrics

Come on, everyone. Form a circle and sit down.
We’re going to play, “Pass the Hot Potato.”
Here’s how you play: When the music starts,
I want you to pass the potato around the circle.
Remember, pretend that the potato is hot, and pass it quickly.
But, when you hear Bessie the cow “MOOOOO!” the person caught holding the potato must leave the circle.
Are you ready?
Start passing!

“MOOOOO!” Oh, no! I hear Bessie the cow.
Who has the potato?
Okay, give the potato to the friend sitting next to you and move out of the circle.
Don’t worry—we’ll play again soon!
Let’s go, and start passing!

“MOOOOO!” Okay, who has the potato this time?
You need to move out of the circle, too.
Ready?
Let’s start passing!

“MOOOOO!” I hear Bessie the cow again.
Remember—pass the potato quickly.
Okay, if you had the potato you need to move away from the circle, too.
Are you ready everyone?
Let’s go!

“MOOOOO!” There’s Bessie the cow.
The circle is getting smaller.
Everyone move closer together.
It will be easier to pass the potato.
Ready?
Start passing.

“MOOOOO!” We have some great potato passers here! Keep passing.

“MOOOOO!” There’s Bessie! There are only a few people left.
Everyone move close together.
Ready? Go!

“MOOOOO!” This is fun! One more time!

“MOOOOO!” Congratulations! I think we have a winner!

“MOOOOO!”
