Lyrics
Ain't nothin' in the world that I like better
A strong preference for certain things in the world.
Than bacon & lettuce & homegrown tomatoes
Expressing a liking for bacon, lettuce, and homegrown tomatoes.

Starting the day in the garden.

Choosing ripe tomatoes over hard ones.
Plant 'em in the spring eat 'em in the summer
Planting tomatoes in spring to enjoy in summer.
All winter with out 'em's a culinary bummer
Winter without tomatoes is disappointing in culinary terms.
I forget all about the sweatin' & diggin'
Forgetting the hardships while harvesting.
Everytime I go out & pick me a big one
Enjoying the satisfaction of picking a large tomato.
