Home Grown Tomatoes

There ain't nothin' in the world that I like better Than bacon 'n lettuce 'n home grown tomatoes.
Up in the morning, out in the garden. Get you a ripe one, don't get 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'd life be without home grown tomatoes? Only two things that money can't buy that's true love and home grown tomatoes.
You can go out and eat an that's for sure. But there's nothin' a home grown tomato won't cure.
Put 'em in a salad put 'em in a stew. You can make your own very own tomato 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 tomato on a hot cake griddle.
Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes. What'd life be without home grown 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 Tomato 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 tomatoes. Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes What'd life be without home grown tomatoes Only two things that money can't buy That's true love and home grown tomatoes.
