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 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
Sweatinand the digginevery time i go out and pick me a big 'un home grown
Tomatoes, home grown tomatoes what would life be like without home grown
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 nothina home grown 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 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 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 cemetery
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 home grown tomatoes only two
Things that money can¿t buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes
