I asked Rick Haynes that very question a few years back, and he says they're singing, "Take a potato, take a potato, take a potato." I said, "No, that can't be. It doesn't make any sense," but he said it served the purpose to fill up empty spots in the song. Listen closely. I bet you'll hear "take a potato, take a potato, take a potato."
