How Things Grow Lyrics - Sesame Street

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!
