about

A kids version of the 1928 version of a hobo's idea of paradise. This one, written by Tom Chapin and John Forster is a kid's idea of paradise.

lyrics

The Big Rock Candy Mountain Tom Chapin and John Foster

I’ll tell you of a land that’s far away
Not so far from here
And every time you blink your eyes
The strangest things appear

Chorus
Ooohhhhh, the buzzing of the bees in the bubblegum trees
The soda water fountain
The lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
At the Big Rock Candy Mountain

The Big Rock Candy Mountain
Is a perfect place for kids
Your allowance grows on bushes
And the cookie jars don’t have lids
You can have your pick of any pet
At the Big Rock Candy Zoo
There’s a root beer lake you can dive into
You can paddle all around in your big canoe
At the Big Rock Candy Mountain

Chorus

At the Big Rock Candy Mountain
Your never change your socks
And little streams of apple juice
Come a’trickling down the rocks
There’s no such thing as homework
It’s your birthday all the time
You can stay up late and your folks don’t care
You can go to lunch in your underwear!
At the Big Rock Candy Mountain

Chorus
