On a summer's day in the month of May a burly bum came hiking
Down a shady lane with a sugar cane he was looking for his liking
As he strolled along he sang a song of the land of milk and honey
Where a bum can stay for many a day and he don't need any money
Oh, the buzzing of the bees in the cigarette trees
The soda water fountains, where the lemonade springs
And the bluebird sings
In the big rock candy mountains
In the big rock candy mountains the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
Oh, I want to go where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow
In the big rock candy mountains
Oh, the buzzing of the bees in the cigarette trees
The soda water fountains, where the lemonade springs
And the bluebird sings
In the big rock candy mountains
In the big rock candy mountains you never wash your socks
And the little streams of alcohol come trickling down the rocks
There's a lake of stew and whiskey too
And you paddle around in a big canoe
Where they hung the Turk who invented work
In the big rock candy mountains
Oh, the buzzing of the bees in the cigarette trees
The soda water fountains, where the lemonade springs
And the bluebird sings
In the big rock candy mountains
