I thought you were talking about these people
One of the vegetable orchestra's instruments.

There's an old song named "Sweet Potato Piper." Evidently it was sung by Bing Crosby in the Road to Singapore. I have it on a 45 rpm record done by Glenn Miller and his orchestra.

I've been looking for the lyrics on line so I could post them here, but I keep getting caught in dead ends or my popup blocker goes crazy.

I see what you mean about popups...but I was curious and Opera could handle them, so here it is:

SWEET POTATO PIPER

"Music soothes the savage",
That’s a well-known phrase,
But your heart becomes
Full of kettle drums
When the sweet potato piper plays

Go on, throw your hat up,
Shout a few hoorays,
Cause you can‘t hold back
You’re a jumping jack
When the sweet potato piper plays...

Though it’s not a magic flute
There’s a fascinating toot
It’s not exactly beautiful,
It’s sort of like an‘ I don’t know
I guess you’d call it cute!

Sunbeams try new dance steps,
Songbirds sound their a’s,
And the world joins in
With a great big grin
When the sweet potato piper plays!

(whistlewhistlewhistle)

(Dialogue between Marion Hutton and Tex Beneke)

Marion Hutton:
Hello there, Texas, whatcha say?
How come you’re whistling,
Why don’t you play?

Tex Beneke:
I’ve been messing with this Sweet Potato all day long
I can’t make it play,
What goes, what’s wrong?

MH:
You’re crazy, Texas,
You’re outta your mind
You can’t blow that
That’s the eatin‘ kind!

TB:
But them baby rug-cutters down Texas way
They been blowin‘ on Sweet Potatoes
And really make ´em play!

MH:
Why don‘t you stick to your saxophone, man?
You oughta know you can’t jam on a yam...!

Beans. Eat the instrument now, face the music later.
