I played a funny trick
Right in the middle of our backyard
I planted a lollipop stick
Then everyday I watered it well
And watched it carefully
I hoped one day that lollipop stick
Would grow into a lollipop tree
Ha ha-ha, Hee-hee-hee
What a sight to see
Me and my lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, lollie-lollie-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, Hee-hee-hee
What a place to be
Under a lollipop, lollipop, lollipop lollie-lollie-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 into ice cream cones
Ha-ha-ha, Hee-hee-hee
How I danced with glee
Under the lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, lollie-lollie-lollipop tree
One fine day in early spring I played a funny trick Right in the middle of our backyard I planted a lollipop stick Then everyday I watered it well And watched it carefully I hoped one day that lollipop stick Would grow into a lollipop tree Ha ha-ha, Hee-hee-hee What a sight to see Me and my lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, lollie-lollie-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, Hee-hee-hee What a place to be Under a lollipop, lollipop, lollipop lollie-lollie-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 into ice cream cones Ha-ha-ha, Hee-hee-hee How I danced with glee Under the lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, lollie-lollie-lollipop tree Explain Request ×
