Subject: Lyr Add: THE LOLLIPOP TREE
Here's the Lollipop tree:

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

chorus:Ha Ha Ha, Ho Ho Ho, what a sight to see!
me and my lollypop lollypop lollypop lolly lolly lollypop tree.

Then one day I woke to find a very lovely sight-
A tree all full of lollypops 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!

Chorus

Winter came and days grew cold, as winter days will do.
On my tree, my lovely tree, not one little lollypop 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!

Chorus

There is a CD out of Burl Ives called the Little White Duck and other favorites. I have the origonal album from which they took the songs, but unfortunately a couple of songs are omitted, one being the lollypop tree.
