Homegrown Tomatoes

Lyrics

There ain't nothin' in the world that I like better
 Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes
 Up in the mornin', out in the garden
 Get you a ripe one, don't get a hard one
 Plant 'em in the spring, eat 'em in the summer
 All winter without 'em's a culinary bummer
 I forget all about the sweatin' and diggin'
 Every time I go out and pick me a big one
 Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes
 What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes?
 Only two things that money can't buy
 And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes
 Well you can go out to eat and that's for sure
 But it's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure
 Put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a stew
 You can make your very own tomato juice
 You can eat 'em with eggs, you can eat 'em with gravy
 Eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy
 Put 'em on the side, put 'em in the middle
 Put a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddle
 Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes
 What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes?
 Only two things that money can't buy
 And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes
 Now if I was to change this life I lead
 Well I'd be Johnny Tomato Seed
 'Cause I know what this country needs
 It's homegrown tomatoes in every yard you see
 When I die, don't bury me
 In a box in a cementary
 Out in the garden would be much better
 And I could be pushin' up homegrown tomatoes
 Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes
 What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes?
 Only two things that money can't buy
 And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes
 Homegrown tomatoes
 What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes?
 Only two things that money can't buy
 And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes
