The Magic Doughnut Tree Orchard

When I was young, I heard this song,

My Grampy sang it, all day long.

This is the song, my Grampy sang,

Of magic trees, where---goodies hang-----

The Doughnut Trees, the Doughnut Trees,

They grow wild, at Grampy B’s.

Yes, doughnuts grow, in tiny packs,

So do M&M’s, and Cracker Jacks.

When I go to bed, I dream all night,

Of Twinkies filled, with cream delight.

The cupcakes dance, with Tiger Tails,

And Milk Duds are, as big as whales!

There’s quarters, and green dollar bills.

This orchard is, a million thrills!

Peanut Butter Cups, and some Ho Ho’s,

Li’l Pecan Pies, how I love those.

Bit-O-Honey, neat Hot Wheel Cars,

Real Butterfingers, and Mountain Bars.

Yes, on those trees, this good stuff grows,

I---don’t know how, but---my Grampy knows.

He says, I think---that---mean ol’ cat,

Sneaks out at night, and does all that.

I’m sure he’s right, and I agree,

‘Cause---ever’ mornin’---I would---see------

Limbs---plum full, of---happy things,

And that is why---my Grampy---sings-------

The---Doughnut Trees, the Doughnut Trees,

They grow wild, at---Grampy---B’s-----------
