Classic Poem

Sidney Clare , 1934

VERSE

I've thrown away my toys,
Even my drum and trains.
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes.
Someday I'm going to fly.
I'll be a pilot, too,
And when I do
How would you
Like to be my crew?

REFRAIN

On the good ship
Lollipop
It's a sweet trip
To a candy shop
Where bon-bons play
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay.
Lemonade stands
Ev'rywhere,
Crackerjack bands
Fill the air,
And there you are
Happy landing on a chocolate bar.
See the sugar bowl do a Tootsie Roll
With the big bad Devil's food cake.
If you eat too much, ooh, ooh,
You'll awake with a tummy ache.
On the good ship
Lollipop
It's a night trip,
Into bed you hop

1. With this command:
" All aboard for Candy Land. "

2. And dream away
On the good ship Lollipop.
