On a summer's day in the month of May A honey little bum came hiking He was traveling down lanes through the sugar cane Just a-looking for his liking He was looking for a land that's far away Beside the crystal fountains I'll see you all this coming fall In the Big Rock Candy Mountains In the Big Rock Candy Mountains There's a land that's fair and bright Where donuts grow on bushes And you sleep out every night Where the bulldogs all have rubber teeth And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs There's a lake of stew and of soda pop too You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe In the Big Rock Candy Mountains Oh the buzzin' of the bees In the chocolate trees The soda water fountain Where the lemonade springs And the wing-doodle sings On the big rock candy mountain In the Big Rock Candy Mountains You never change your socks And the little streams of orange squash Come a-trickling down the rocks You never have to go to school And all the cops are blind Bound 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 buzzin' of the bees In the chocolate trees The soda water fountain Where the lemonade springs And the wing-doodle sings On the big rock candy mountain
