Burl Ives - Lollipop Tree lyrics

One fine day in early spring
I played a funny trick
Right in the yard behind our house
I planted a lollipop stick
And everyday I watered it well
And watched it carefully
I hoped 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!
