The Lollipop Tree - Burl Ives Lyrics




One fine day in early spring, I played a funny trick

Right in the yard behind our house, I planted a lollipop stick

Then every day, I watered it well and watched it carefully

I hope one day that stick would grow to be a lollipop tree



Ha, ha, ha

Ho, ho, ho

Oh, what a sight to see

In my lollipop, lollipop, lolli, lolli, lollipop tree



Ha, ha, ha

Ho, ho, ho

What a sight to see

Me and my lollipop, lollipop, lolli, lolli, lollipop tree



Then one day I woke to find a very lovely sight

A tree all full of lollipops had grown in the dark of the night

I sat beneath that wonderful tree and looked up with a grin

And when I opened up my mouth a pop would drop right in



Ha, ha, ha

Ho, ho, ho

What a place to be

Under the lollipop, lollipop, lolli, lolli, lollipop tree



Winter came and days grew cold as winter days will do

On my tree, my lovely tree, not one little lollipop grew

From every branch, an icicle hung, the twigs were bare as bones

But when I broke the icicles off, they turned to ice cream cones



Ha, ha, ha

Ho, ho, ho

How my eyes could believe

Under the lollipop, lollipop, lolli, lolli, lollipop tree



Ha, ha, ha

Ho, ho, ho

What a sight to see

Me and my lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, tree
