Anne’s sweet potato song

Anne selects the sweet potato and then, while holding it in one hand, she repeatedly slaps it and tells it that they’re going to be “special friends”. When Tom Cashman questions this, Anne says “Not like that! Get your mind out of the gutter.”

Anne turns her sweet potato into a glamourous singer named ‘Sweetie’, who performs a song which she says she used to sing with her recently departed grandmother. The lyrics to her song are as follows:

I’m just a sweet potato
I’m long and strange and bumpy
That’s what the other potatoes call me
Yeah, I’m always left on the shelf
Yeah, I’m sweet, sweet potato
Yeah, I’m sweet, sweet potato
Sweet, sweet potato
Baby, I was born to fry

In the studio, Tom says he needs to get his breath back, after her moving performance. Anne points out to Lloyd that she’s been singing it around the house, and Lloyd says that it sounds like an old classic.

Tom awards Anne 5 points.
