[Verse 1] There’s nothin in the world that I like better Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes Up in the morning out in the garden Pick you a ripe one don’t get a hard ’un Plant em in the spring 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 [Chorus] Homegrown tomatoes homegrown tomatoes What’d life be without homegrown tomatoes There’s only two things that money can’t buy: True love and homegrown tomatoes. [Verse 2] You can go out and eat em that’s for sure But there’s nothin a home grown tomato won’t cure Put in salad put in stew You can make your own 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 in the middle Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle [Chorus] Homegrown tomatoes homegrown tomatoes What’d life be without homegrown tomatoes There’s only two things that money can’t buy: True love and homegrown tomatoes. [Verse 3] If I could change this life I lead You could call me Johnny Tomatoseed Cuz 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 cold dark cemetery Out in the garden would be much better Where I could be a pushin’ up the home grown tomatoes. [Chorus] Homegrown tomatoes homegrown tomatoes What’d life be without homegrown tomatoes There’s only two things that money can’t buy: True love and homegrown tomatoes. (Repeat)
