Homegrown Tomatoes from Demos by Aquariums

Homegrown tomatoes
Hold a special place
In my heart as well as my dinner plate
When I see 'em I just can't wait to stuff my face

There ain't no way
That I don't like 'em
If you've never in your life
Boy you need to try 'em
'Cause it ain't really livin'
Until you've dined on these


Chorus:
Homegrown tomatoes
Taste better when you've made 'em
Getting bigger all season
From the month of May
Through all of Summer's dog days

And just when you think
You can't beat the heat
Man them suckers are
Ready to eat
Grab yourself a seat
'Cause you're in for a treat


You can eat 'em sliced
You can eat 'em sauced
Peeled, pasted, pureed, diced
Or even tossed
In the direction of the stage
If you don't like to song I sing

They come in all colors
Red, orange, and yella
They'll even satisfy
The orneriest fella
On his face he'll wear a smile
Where once developed a frown


Chorus:
Homegrown tomatoes
Taste better when you've made 'em
Getting bigger all season
From the month of May
Through all of Summer's dog days

And just when you think
You can't beat the heat
Man them suckers are
Ready to eat
Grab yourself a seat
'Cause you're in for a treat

When the weather's hot and mean
And the grass is dry
Get you a green tomato
Battered and fried
Topped with some sour cream and chive
What a delight

Now that's a night
Now that's delight

Homegrown tomatoes
Are better than bought
You don't need a thousand acres
Just a little plot
In your backyard
Where the sun shines down a lot


Chorus:
Homegrown tomatoes
Taste better when you've made 'em
Getting bigger all season
From the month of May
Through all of Summer's dog days

And just when you think
You can't beat the heat
Man them suckers are
Ready to eat
Grab yourself a seat
'Cause you're in for a treat


Homegrown tomatoes
Are better than bought
You don't need a thousand acres
Just a little plot
In your backyard
Where the sun shines down a lot
