Lyrics

Canvas bag swinging and the sun is out
Striped awnings flapping, hear the sellers shout
Peaches in pyramids, honey in a jar
Everybody knows everybody, near and far

Mm-hm, mm-hm, I'm humming along
Mm-hm, mm-hm, the market's a song

Hum, hum, farmers' market on a Tuesday
Hum, hum, I'm as happy as can be
Bread still warm and the carrots have their tops
Hum, hum, it's a little bit of heaven for me
Hum, hum, farmers' market on a Tuesday
Sing it back to me, one, two, three

Lady with the flowers gives me one for free
Says, you've got a smile like the early morning sea
I trade her a laugh for a bunch of tangerines
Best little bargain that I've ever seen

Mm-hm, mm-hm, I'm humming along
Mm-hm, mm-hm, the market's a song

Hum, hum, farmers' market on a Tuesday
Hum, hum, I'm as happy as can be
Bread still warm and the carrots have their tops
Hum, hum, it's a little bit of heaven for me
Hum, hum, farmers' market on a Tuesday
Sing it back to me, one, two, three

Call out, what's in your basket?
Call out, what did you find?
Tomatoes, plums, and a crooked little squash
Sweet things for peace of mind

Hum, hum, farmers' market on a Tuesday
Hum, hum, I'm as happy as can be
Bread still warm and the carrots have their tops
Hum, hum, it's a little bit of heaven for me
Hum, hum, farmers' market on a Tuesday
Sing it back to me, one, two, three

Hum, hum, Tuesday
Mm-hm, mm-hm, Tuesday
