Homegrown Tomatoes

Ain't
nothin' in the world that I like better than
C
Bacon and
lettuce and homegrown tomatoes

Up in the
morning and out in the garden

Get you a
ripe one, don't get a hard 'un.
Plant'em in
the springtime eat'em in the summer,
All winter
without 'em's a culinary bummer.
I forget all
about the sweatin' and the diggin'
Every time I
go out and pick me a big'un.
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown
tomatoes,
What'd life be without homegrown
tomatoes,
There's only two things that money
can't buy
That's true love and homegrown
tomatoes.
You can go
out and eat, that's for sure,
But it's
nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure
You can
put'em in a salad, put'em in a stew
You can make
your very own tomato juice
You can
eat'em with eggs, you can eat'em with gravy
You can
eat'em with beans, pinto or navy
Put'em on
the side, put'em on the middle
Put a
homegrown tomato on a hot cake griddle
If I could
change this life I lead,
Well I'd be
Johnny Tomato Seed
Cause I know
what this country needs,
It's home
grown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die
don't bury me
In a box in
a cemetery
Out in the
garden would be much better
And I could
be pushin' up homegrown tomatoes.
