CHORUS:
   C
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,
    F             -
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes,
       G                 -   
There's only two things that money can't buy:
       C
True love and homegrown tomatoes.
                   

1.
            C
There's nothin in the world that I like better
       F
Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes
  G
Up in the morning out in the garden
   C
Pick you a ripe one, don't bet a hard 'un
   C
Plant em in the springtime, eat em in the summer
     F
All winter without em's a culinary bummer
       G
I  forget all about the sweatin and the diggin
        C
Every time I go out and pick me a big 'un
        

CHORUS


2.  You can go out and eat em, that's for sure

But there's nothin a home grown tomato won't cure

Put em in a salad, put em in a 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

3.  If I could change this life I lead

You could call me Johnny Tomatoseed

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
