lyrics

You’re a cherry tomato
In a mixed melody
A thumb-sized fruit
Of red, yellow, or green
You’re not a grape
Just look at your shape
You’re a cherry tomato
Make no mistake

Though you are small
You’re certainly sweet
With a splash of tart
Between my teeth
You’re high in fiber
And vitamin C
You’re dear to my heart,
My lungs, and kidneys

You’re a cherry tomato
In a mixed melody
A thumb-sized fruit
Of red, yellow, or green
You’re not a grape
Just look at your shape
You’re a cherry tomato
Make no mistake

I’ll pair you with corn,
Watermelon, or cheese
Eggplant, okra,
Or spicy chilies
Cook you with prawns,
scallops or zucchini
Heck. I’ll eat a whole bunch
And call it a feast

In the very first recipe of salsa
Found in Aztec ruins
Cherry tomatoes topped the list
Of ingredients they were using

You’re a cherry tomato
In a mixed melody
A thumb-sized fruit
Of red, yellow, or green
You’re not a grape
Just look at your shape
You’re a cherry tomato
Make no mistake
