Mmm, a BLBG (bacon, lettuce, bleeding gums) sandwich!

Well, there ain’t nothin’ in the world that I like betterThan bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoesUp in the mornin’, out in the gardenGet you a ripe one, hey, don’t get a hard one

Plant ‘em in the spring, eat ’em in the summerAll winter with out ’em’s a culinary bummerI forget all about the sweatin’ and diggin’Everytime I go out and pick me a big one

Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoesWhat’d life be without homegrown tomatoesOnly two things that money can’t buyAnd that’s true love and homegrown tomatoes

Now you can go out to eat and that’s for sureBut it’s nothin’ a homegrown tomato won’t curePut ’em in a salad, put ’em in a stewYou make your very own tomato juice

You can eat ’em with eggs, eat ’em with gravyEat ’em with beans, pinto or navyPut ’em on the side, put ’em in the middlePut a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddle

Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoesWhat’d life be without homegrown tomatoesOnly two things that money can’t buyAnd that’s true love and homegrown tomatoes

If I’s to change this life I leadI’d be Johnny Tomato Seed’Cause I know what this country needsHomegrown tomatoes in every yard you see, yeah

When I die, don’t bury meIn a box in a cemetaryOut in the garden would be much betterAnd I could be pushin’ up homegrown tomatoes

Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoesWhat’d life be without homegrown tomatoesOnly two things that money can’t buyAnd that’s true love and homegrown tomatoes

Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoesWhat’d life be without homegrown tomatoesOnly two things that money can’t buyAnd that’s true love and homegrown tomatoes, alright

I can’t taste tomatoes unless they’re cooked. Yes, I’m odd.

I think a trip to the dentist is in her near future if she takes that first bite.

I had those once. Decided I preferred plain old ripe red ones instead.

OMG! Love it. Awesome composition.

Had to hunt for this one.
