Lyrics

Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
 The soda water fountain
 Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
 In that Big Rock Candy Mountain
 On a summer's day
 In the month of May
 A burly bum came ahiking
 Down a shady lane
 Through the 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 won't need any money
 Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
 The soda water fountain
 Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
 In that Big Rock Candy Mountain
 In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
 The cops have wooden legs
 The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
 And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
 The farmers' trees are full of fruit
 The barns are full of hay
 I want to go
 Where there ain't no snow
 Where the sleet don't fall
 And the the wind don't blow
 In that Big Rock Candy Mountain
 Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
 The soda water fountain
 Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
 In that Big Rock Candy Mountain
 Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
 The soda water fountain
 Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
 In that Big Rock Candy Mountain
