Lollipop Tree

Burl Ives · Other Songs - Burl Ives

[partial]

One fine day in early spring

I play a funny trick

Out 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



Refrain:

Aha-ha Oh-ho-ho

What a sight to see

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

Lollipop Tree
