So the very next day they hiked away, The mileposts they were counting But they never arrived at the lemonade tide On the big rock candy mountain Oh the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees Near the soda water fountain At the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings On the big rock candy mountain |
