There's nothin' in the world that I like better
The bacon and lettuce home grown tomatoes
Up in the morning,out in the garden
Lord get you a ripe one, don't get a hard one

You plant 'em in the spring and 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

It's home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What'd life be without home grown tomatoes?
The only two things that money can't buy
And that's true love and home grown tomatoes

And you can go out to eat and that's for sure
But ain't nothin a home grown tomato won't cure
Or put 'em in a salad or put 'em in a stew
And you can make your very own tomato juice

You can eat 'em with eggs and you can eat 'em with gravy
Eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy
Or put 'em on the side or put 'em in the middle
Put a home grown tomatoe on a hot cake griddle

Yes home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What'd I do without home grown tomatoes
The only two things that money can't buy
And that's true love and home grown tomatoes

Well if I have to change this life I lead
I could be a Johnny in tomato seed
'Cause I know what this year country needs
And it's a home grown tomatoes in every yard you see

Well when I die don't you bury me
In a box in a cemetery
Put me out in the garden, I would be much better
Hell I could be pushin' up a home grown tomatoes

Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What'd life be without a home grown tomatoes?
There's only two things that money can't buy
And that's true love and a great big juicy blood red

Do run of the side of and don't split at the top
Which grew so fast during the last rain
Just touch it and fall of the wine in your hand
And you got your own dukes manez and that good ho-we bread
Lord help ous all again home grown tomatoes
