[verse]
D G
Ain't nothin' in the world that I like better than bacon 'n' lettuce 'n' homegrown tomaters
A D
Up in the mornin' out in the garden pick you a ripe one doncha pick a hard'n
D G
Plant 'em in the spring eat 'em in the summer all winter without 'em is a cullinary bummer
A D
I forgot all about the sweatin' and diggin' ever' time I go out and pick me a big'un
[chorus]
D G
Homegrown tomaters homegrown tomaters what'd life be without homegrown tomaters
A D D G A D
Only two things that money can't buy and that's true love and homegrown tomaters
[verse]
D G
You can go out to eat that's for sure but there's nothin' that a homegrown tomater won't cure
A D
Put 'em in a salad put 'em in a stew well you can make your own tomahto juice
D G
Eat 'em with eggs eat 'em with gravy eat 'em with beans pinto or navy
A D
Put 'em on the side put 'em in the middle or put a homegrown tomater on the hotcake griddle
[chorus]
D G
Homegrown tomaters homegrown tomaters what'd life be without homegrown tomaters
A D D G A D
Only two things that money can't buy and that's true love and homegrown tomaters
[verse]
D G
If I's to change this life I lead I'd be Johnny Tomaterseed
A D
Cause I know what this country needs and that's a homegrown tomater in every yard you see
D G
When I die douncha bury me in a box in no cemetery
A D
Out in the yard'd be much better cause I could be a pushin' up a homegrown tomater
[chorus]
D G
Homegrown tomaters homegrown tomaters what'd life be without homegrown tomaters
A D
Only two things that money can't buy and that's true love and a big fat beefsteak
[outro]
D G
Homegrown tomaters homegrown tomaters what'd life be without homegrown tomaters
A D D G A D
Only two things that money can't buy and that's true love and homegrown tomaters
