Lollipop Tree

Lollipop Tree 

One fine day in early spring
I play a funny trick
Out in the yard behind our house
I planted a lollipop stick
And everyday I watered it well
And watched it carefully
I hoped one day that stick would grow
To be a lollipop tree

Aha-ha Oh-ho-ho
What a sight to see 
Me and my lollipop, lollipop, lolly, lolly, lollipop tree
