Lollipop Tree
by Joe Darius

One fine day in early spring, I played a funny trick
Out in the yard behind our house, I planted a lollipop stick
And every day I watered it well and watched it carefully
I hoped one day that stick would grow to be a lollipop tree

(Chorus)
Oh, Ah ha ha, ho ho ho, what a place to be
Under my lollipop lollipop lollipop
Lolly lolly lollipop tree
Oh, Ah ha ha, ho ho ho, what a place to be
Under my lollipop lollipop lollipop
Lolly lolly lollipop tree

Then one day I woke to find a very lovely sight
A tree all full of lollipops had grown up in the night
I sat beneath that wonderful tree and looked up with a grin
And when I opened up my mouth, a lollipop dropped right in (repeat chorus)

Winter came and days grew cold as winter days will do
And on my tree, my lovely tree, not one little lollipop grew
From every branch an icicle hung, it’s limbs were bare as bones
But when I broke those icicles off they turned into ice cream cones
(repeat chorus twice)
