Oh the buzzing of the bees in the cigarette trees

The soda water fountain

With the lemonade springs

Than the bluebird sings

In the big rock candy mountain

On a summer day month of May

A burly bum came hiking

Down a shady lane through the sugar cane

He was looking for his liking

As he roamed 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 buzzing of the bees in the cigarette trees

The soda water fountain

With the lemonade springs

Than the bluebird sings

In the big rock candy mountain

In the big rock candy mountains

The cops have wooden legs

The bulldogs all have rubber teeth

The hens lay soft boiled eggs

Farmers' trees are full of fruit

And the barns are full of hay

I'm bound to go

Where there ain't no snow

Where the sleep don't fall

And the winds don't blow

In the big rock candy mountains

Oh the buzzing of the bees in the cigarette trees

The soda water fountain

With the lemonade springs

Than the bluebird sings

In the big rock candy mountain
