There aint 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, dont 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 cant buy

That's true love and home grown tomatoes

You can go out to eat an thats for sure

But theres nothin a homegrown tomatoe wont 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 cant buy

That's true love and home grown tomatoes

If Is 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 dont 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 cant buy

That's true love and home grown tomatoes
