Homegrown Tomatoes

Ain't nothin' in the world that I like better

Than bacon & lettuce & 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 with out 'em's a culinary bummer

I forget all about the sweatin' & diggin'

Everytime I go out & pick me a big one

Homegrown tomatoes homegrown tomatoes

What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes

Only two things that money can't buy

That's true love & homegrown tomatoes

You can go out to eat & 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

Eat 'em with egss, eat 'em with gravy

Eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy

Put 'em on the site put 'em in the middle

Put a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddle

If I's to change this life I lead

I'd be Johnny Tomato Seed

'Cause I know what this country needs

Homegrown tomatoes in every yard you see

When I die don't bury me

In a box in a cemetary

Out in the garden would be much better

I could be pushin' up homegrown tomatoes
