Actor Matt Lucas has launched a new version of the comedy song 'Thank you Baked Potato' in honor of the NHS.
"Wash your hands, stay indoors, thank you baked potato. Only go to grocery stores, thank you baked potato," the lyrics say.
All proceeds raised from sales of the track will go to FeedNHS, an initiative set up to raise £1million to provide 6,000 meals per day to critical care staff in London hospitals.
In honor of Les Miserables - The Staged Concert being released digitally, Lucas duetted on the song with co-star Michael Ball.
Watch their duet below!
