There ain¡¯t nothin ¡®in the world that i like better
than bacon ¡®n lettuce ¡®n homegrown tomatoes
up in the mornin¡¯, out in the garden
get you a ripe one, don¡¯t pick a hard 'un
plant 'em in the spring, eat ¡®em in the summer
all winter without ¡®em is a culinary bummer
i forget all about the sweatin¡¯ and the diggin¡¯
every time i go out and pick me a big ¡®un
Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
what would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
only two things that money can¡¯t buy
that's true love and home grown tomatoes
You can go out to eat an that¡¯s for sure
but there¡¯s nothin¡¯ a homegrown tomatoe won¡¯t cure
put ¡®em in a salad, put ¡®em in a stew
you can make your own tomatoe juice
you can eat ¡®em with eggs, eat ¡®em with gravy
you can eat ¡®em with beans, pinto or navy
put 'em on the side, put ¡®em in the middle
home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle
Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
what would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
only two things that money can¡¯t buy
that's true love and home grown tomatoes
If i¡¯s to change this life i lead
you could call me johnny tomatoe seed
¡®cause i know what this country needs
home grown tomatoes in every yard you see
when i die don¡¯t bury me
in a box in a cold dark cemetary
out in the garden would be much better
¡®cause i could be pushin ¡®up a home grown tomatoe
Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
what would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
only two things that money can¡¯t buy
that's true love and home grown tomatoes
