There ain't 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, 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 forgot all about the sweatin' and the diggin'
Everytime I go out and pick me a big un
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can't buy
That's true love and homegrown tomatoes
You can go out to eat, that's for sure
But there's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure
Put em in a salad, put em in a stew
You can make your own very own tomato juice
Eat em with eggs, eat em with gravy
Eat em with beans, pinto or navy
Put em on the side, put em in the middle
Homegrown tomato on a hot cake griddle
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can't buy
That's true love and homegrown tomatoes
If I's to change this life I lead
You'd call me Johnny Tomatoseed
'Cause I know what this country needs
Homegrown tomatoes 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 get a-pushin' with the homegrown tomatoes
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can't buy
That's true love and homegrown tomatoes
Homegrown tomatoes
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things money cannot buy
That's true love and homegrown tomatoes
