GRINER FARM CLUB GIRLS SONG

GRINER FARM CLUB GIRLS SONG
TUNE: Yankee Doodle)
Written by Mrs. Efie Cahoon of Oak
If you'll go out to Griner Farm
You'll find some jolly club girls
A bank of merry winsome maids
Are these tomato club girls.
CHORUS
Tomato clubs instructive are
See our tenth-acre plot, o!
Success in cans-and not in cants"
Will always be our motto.
They have club meetings once month
The first was with Miss Crago
They gain instruction here and there
And learn wherever they go.
This Griner Farm Tomato Club
These girls of many sizes
Will have exhibits at the Fair
And capture many prizes.
Well can tomatoes, make preserves,
And catsup and sweet pickle,
And many more delicious things
The appetites to tickle.
