The Ketchup Song

He met this young Leamington, Ontario tomatoe
But he had eyes for other girls and she was a little mushy
So he said lets get wed, there's no sense being fussy
Big size french fries how they love tomatoes
So dress them up with Heinz ketchup
Ketchup loves potatoes, Ketchup loves potatoes
Well he went down to Windsor town to buy a ring on Monday
Saturday they said ok we'll cut the cake on Sunday
But sunday came and what a shame
they had no one to fetch it
Without a cake they just sat and ate potatoe chips and ketchup
Big size french fries how they love tomatoes
So dress them up with Heinz ketchup
Ketchup loves potatoes, Ketchup loves potatoes
And so this guy form PEI they used to call potatoe
He's got two boys and a little girl, two spuds and one tomatoe
They romp and run around Leamington and boy when they get hungry
The bottle drips all over the chips way down in Ketchup country
Big size french fries how they love tomatoes
So dress them up with Heinz ketchup
Ketchup loves potatoes, Ketchup loves potatoes
