Thread Name: Lyr Req: Somebody threw a tomato at him
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Somebody threw a tomato at him
these are the lyrics that my dad used to sing

"I went to market with my brother Jim
Somebody threw a tomato at him,
A tomato's alright when it wrapped in its skin
But this blooming tomato was wrapped in a tin"

and the other verse
"I was a courting a young girl named Brown
She was a bathing when l called around
I said slip on something, come down for a trip
And she slipped on the soap and she did come down quick"
