Subject: RE: Lyr Req: One-Ton Tomato (Guantanamera parody)
Faust & Lewis (Wayne Faust and Rusty Lewis), two singers of comic songs, have recorded a song called ONETONTOMATA on their album "Classy Trash," Orchard CD 614, 2000. Click here. I transcribed this from a couple of sound samples:

One-ton tomata, it was a one-ton tomata.
One-ton tomata, it was a one-ton tomata.

I have a friend here in Cuba.
In his spare time, he plays tuba.
He have a burro he raises,
And in the garden he grazes
To fertilize it and make it green,
And grow the plants like you've never seen.

One-ton tomata, he grew a one-ton tomata.
One-ton tomata, he grew the one-ton tomata.

He bring a big cart an' park it
Here at my grocery market....

[It's sung with a fake Hispanic accent.]
