Thread Name: need the song title-tomatoes are soft: Uncle Jim
Subject: RE: help I need the song title-tomatoes are soft

I learned this song in grade school, in the early '70s. This is the version:

An awful black eye has my Uncle Jim,
Somebody threw a tomato at him;
'Tomatoes can't hurt you' I said with a grin
He said 'Yes they can if they're still in a tin.'
