How Things Grow Lyrics

I came to the farm to see how things grow
And I learned some things I didn't know
Plants can grow high
Plants can grow low
Some grow above the ground
Some grow below

For instance a tomato doesn't grow like a potato

Tomato: Tomatoes push and shove to get up above

Ernie: Meanwhile a potato doesn't grow like a tomato

Potato: Potatoes never show, we stay down below

Plants can grow high
Plants can grow low
Some grow above the ground
Some grow below

Now if you want a lettuce

Lettuce: I'd tell you where to get us
We always can be found right above the ground

Ernie: Look high for a zucchini 'cause they're never very teeny

Beet: But if you want a beet, look under your feet

Plants can grow high
Plants can grow low
Some grow above the ground
Some grow below

Ernie: Maybe next time you'll see something you'll know

Tomato etc: If it grew above the ground

Potato etc: Or it grows below!
