Lyrics:
Sweet Potatoes naturally,
got a lot favor keeps you lean and mean
you’re really gonna love ’em a lot,
just listen to what they’ve got.
Vitamins B6 , A and D
Loaded with beta carotene.
 
Sweet Potatoes naturally,
got a lot favor keeps you lean and mean
delicious, nutritious and fat free,
Sweet Potatoes naturally.
 
Serve ’em up broad with a dip, or fried sweet potato chips,
sweet potato pancakes, salads too
Bake ’em , Broil ’em, good for you
 
Sweet Potatoes naturally,
got a lot favor keeps you lean and mean
delicious, nutritious, cholesterol free,
Sweet Potatoes naturally, oh yeah,
Sweet Potatoes naturally.
