The Lollipop Tree - Burl Ives (伯尔·艾夫斯)
One fine day in early spring
I played a funny trick
Right in the yard behind our house
I planted a lollipop stick
Then 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 Oh ho ho
What a sight to see
Me and my lollipop
Lollipop lollipop lolli-lolli-lollipop tree
Ha ha ha Oh ho ho
What a sight to see
He and his lollipop
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 Oh ho ho
What a place to be
Under a lollipop
Lollipop lollipop lolli-lolli-lollipop tree
Ha ha ha Oh ho ho
What a sight to see
He and his lollipop
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 Oh ho ho
How I danced with glee
Under the lollipop
Lollipop lollipop lolli-lolli-lollipop tree
Ha ha ha Oh ho ho
What a sight to see
He and his lollipop
Lollipop lollipop lollipop lollipop tree
