Subject: Lyr Add: DON'T TOUCH MY TOMATO (from P Dillon)
My transcription from Spotify:


DON'T TOUCH MY TOMATO
As sung by Phyllis Dillon on "Big People Music, Vol. 1" (2008)

Please, mister, don't you touch me tomato.
No, don't touch me tomato.
Touch me yam, me pumpkin, potato.
For goodness' sake, don't touch me tomato.

Touch me this; touch me that.
Touch me ev'rything I've got.
Touch me plum, me apples, too,
But here's one thing you just can't do.

'Cause all you do is to feel up, feel up.
Ain't you tired of feel up?
All you do is to squeeze up, squeeze up.
Ain't you tired of squeeze up?

Mister, take advice from me.
The more you look is the less you see,
But if you just must have your way,
Double the price you have to pay.

Oh, you're hard like the coconut,
But nuts, oh, nuts are nothing but.
Before the chap that's good and hot, (?)
Make up your mind, man, what is what.

'Cause all you do is to feel up, feel up
Ain't you tired of feel up, feel up?
All you do is to squeeze up, squeeze up.
Ain't you tired of squeeze up, squeeze up? [Repeat and fade.]
