"The Lollipop Tree" lyrics - THE IRISH ROVERS

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

Ha ha-ha, Ho-ho-ho
What a place to be
Under a lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, lolli-lolli-lollipop tree
Under a 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 den of night
So I sat beneath that wonderful tree, I looked up with a grin
And when I opened up my mouth a lollipop dropped right in

Ha ha-ha, Ho-ho-ho
What a place to be
Under a lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, lolli-lolli-lollipop tree
Under a 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 limbs were bare as bones
But when I broke the icicles off they turned to ice cream cones

Ha ha-ha, Ho-ho-ho
What a place to be
Under a lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, lolli-lolli-lollipop tree
Under a lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, lolli-lolli-lollipop tree
