HOME GROWN TOMATOES
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 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 can't buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes!
