(Clark)

There ain't nothing in the world that I like better
than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes
Up in the morning, out in the garden, get you a ripe one, don't pick a hard one
Plant 'em in the spring, eat 'em in the summer All winter without 'em is a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweating and the digging every time I go out and pick me a big one
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes, what would life be without homegrown tomatoes?
Only two things that money can't buy and that's true love and homegrown tomatoes

You can go out to eat and that's for sure, but there's nothing 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
You can eat 'em with eggs, eat 'em with gravy, You can eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy
Put 'em on the side, put 'em in the middle, homegrown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes, what would life be without homegrown tomatoes?
Only two things that money can't buy and that's true love and homegrown tomatoes

If I was to change this life I lead, you could call me Johnny Tomatoseed
'Cause I know what this country needs is homegrown 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 'cause I could be pushing up homegrown tomatoes
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes, what would life be without homegrown tomatoes?
Only two things that money can't buy and that's true love and homegrown tomatoes,
homegrown tomatoes, what would life be without homegrown tomatoes?
Only two things that money can't buy and that's true love and homegrown tomatoes
