While we 醒来 (wake up) all our body parts, we are enjoying this video, and it certainly does 醒来 us all up into a cool sing along dance!

Apart from its fun value, it has numbers, measure words, body parts, and a fast tongue twisting chorus to wrap our tongues around those Mandarin syllables!

Note, there is a mistake in the song…the line where they sing that the 2 potatoes have ‘4 hands’, the subtitle in the video is correct and says 4 (有四只手), but they actually sing 有两只手…2 hands!!!! But the mistake doesn’t spoil the fun factor, and when we act this out in class with Mr Potato Heads we will correct it!

Here are the lyrics。 To get pronunciation of the fast chorus line, don’t forget you can copy and paste the characters into Google Translate and press the speaker, or check out the apps that have the pinyin syllable charts and pronunciation in this post.

一个土豆， 长两只眼睛， 长一个鼻子， 和一张嘴

一个土豆， 有两只手， 有两条腿， 和一顶帽子

一个土豆。。。谁想跳舞

两个土豆， 长四只眼睛， 长两个鼻子， 和两张嘴

两个土豆， 有四只手， 有四条腿， 和两顶帽子

两个土豆。。。谁想跳舞

三个土豆 。。。谁想跳舞
