As many of you know my love of Mason Williams' nonsense is almost like an addiction...This is one of his. This song's about the Tomato Vendetta, And the tale of a man who let a Hate for tomatos cause him strife, He lost his job, wife, home, car, kids and life He'd go downtown to buy some groceries He went because his family was hungry He always bought bread, meat and potatos But he wouldn't touch those ugly tomatos He didn't know why he hated tomatos They just were as ugly as far as ugly goes There in the store, when no one was watching He'd set melons on them and laugh at their squashing One night after shopping and on his way home His loathing for tomatos cut to the bone He just couldn't stand the strain anymore He vowed to destroy the tomato horde He turned around and viciously hopin' The grocery stores would still be open His eyes grew cold, for he was a man Whose moment of truth was close at hand All over town in every store Tomatos were hurt and spilled on the floor Big melons and turkeys and large sacks of grits Were dumped on their sections to mash them to bits At the last store he finished his plan But on his way out a delivery van Full of big ripe tomatos drove in and hit him Tomato Vendetta had claimed it's victim The incident of the Tomato Vendetta Caused a sensation, it was something that the Public could relish and readily snatch up Popularly known as the tomato catch up. |
