I’m a Potato and She Won’t Pet My Raccoon (Add Her To What?)

V6

[Intro - Immediate upbeat acoustic guitar, driving rhythm] [Female Vocal] Do you want to meet new people? [Female Vocal] I have some single female friends who are looking for a little excitement. [Female Vocal] Can you tell me your age? [Male Vocal] They wouldn’t like me. [Male Vocal] I look like a potato. [Male Vocal] I’m ancient, like a rock. [Female Vocal] Ancient like a rock sounds promising — [Female Vocal] give me a number so I can see if she'd be a good match for you. [Male Vocal] 122. [Verse 1 - Energetic acoustic strumming, playful rhythm] [Male Vocal] The thing is, most people ignore me because I have 12 large moles on my body. [Male Vocal] Would your friend mind that? [Male Vocal] Hello? Is your friend interested? [Male Vocal] They could play connect the dots on my moles with a purple Sharpie I found in my couch cushions. [Brief silence] [Male Vocal] This is my picture. [Brief silence] [Female Vocal] I'm sorry to bother you; [Female Vocal] I only asked your age to see if you'd be a good match for a friend of mine, so I could introduce you. [Male Vocal] But you ghosted me until now. [Female Vocal] Fair point — I got pulled away, my bad. [Female Vocal] So how old are you? [Female Vocal] She's genuinely worth the wait. [Male Vocal] 72. [Verse 2 - Bright, driving acoustic guitar, stomps and handclaps] [Female Vocal] This is her Telegram. [Male Vocal] I’m old, but young enough to know we don’t send telegrams anymore. [Male Vocal] Does she care that I have a pet rabid raccoon? [Brief silence] [Male Vocal] Here’s a picture. [Brief silence] [Female Vocal] Did you add her? [Female Vocal] Don't keep the girl waiting too long. [Male Vocal] Do you want to pet him? [Male Vocal] He likes having his ears tickled. [Male Vocal, Softens] He only bites…a…little. [Male Vocal, Loudly] How do I add her? [Male Vocal] I don’t have a telegraph machine. [Female Vocal] That's a pity — she's gorgeous and still waiting. [Female Vocal] Grab Telegram and message her. [Bridge - Acoustic guitar softens, bittersweet emotional delivery] [Male Vocal] I guess maybe she’s even older than I am if she’s still sending telegrams. [Male Vocal] I have a cell phone. [Male Vocal] No one ever calls me though. [Male Vocal] But I always have these messages from you scammers. [Final Conversation - Full energetic acoustic instrumentation returns] [Female Vocal] It's a real shame — she's truly beautiful and sexy. [Female Vocal] Are you really not going to add her? [Break - Instruments briefly drop out] [Male Vocal - Completely deadpan] Add her to what? [Chorus - Male Vocal - Bright, catchy acoustic folk melody] [Male Vocal] Add her to what? [Male Vocal] Add her to what? [Male Vocal] I've got a cell phone, isn't that enough? [Male Vocal] I'm just a potato looking for love! [Final Verse - Male Vocal - Begin dramatic musical crescendo] [Male Vocal - Rhythmic, building intensity] Dating ain't easy in twenty twenty-six. [Male Vocal - Stronger acoustic strumming] I'm a hundred and twenty-two, or maybe seventy-six. [Male Vocal - Louder, faster] I've got twelve giant moles and a purple Sharpie, [Male Vocal - Increasing emotional intensity] And a rabid raccoon who just wants somebody! [Male Vocal - Driving percussion, pounding foot stomps] I don't have a telegram or a telegraph machine! [Male Vocal - Passionate, nearly shouting] I just wanted somebody who'd love me for me! [Final Chorus - Explosive acoustic folk climax, full instrumentation] [Male Vocal - Powerful, passionate] Add her to what? [Male Vocal - Louder] Add her to what? [Male Vocal - Full emotional intensity] I've got a cell phone, isn't that enough? [Male Vocal - Climactic, soaring] JUST A POTATO LOOKING FOR LOVE! [Complete instrumental stop] [Brief silence] [Male Vocal - Quiet, almost whispered, genuinely heartbroken] But no one ever calls me, though. [End - Absolute silence, no outro]
