[spoken]

Man comes in this life naked and bare

He walks through this world with troubles and care

When he departs, we dont know where

But hell be alright there if he does right here



Theres a big rock candy mountain in a land thats fair and bright

The handouts grow on bushes and you can sleep out every night

The boxcars all run empty and the railroad bulls are blind

Oh, Im bound to go where there aint no snow

Where the rain dont fall and the wind dont blow

Up the big rock candy mountain



Oh, the buzzing of the bees in the cigarette trees,

And the soda water fountains

The lemonade springs where the bluebird sings

Up the big rock candy mountain



Up the big rock candy mountain, the cops have wooden legs

The bulldogs all have rubber teeth,
