Make it a pizza one - it'll look better I promise

Next to a beer fountain....
By the big fried chicken mountain

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, there's a land that's fair and bright,
The handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars all are empty and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees and the cigarete trees,
The lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, all the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
Oh I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall, the wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, you never change your socks
And little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too
And you can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tin,
And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
There ain't no short-handled shovels, no axes, saws or picks,
I'm a-goin' to stay where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk that invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

I'll see you all this comin' fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountains!

Errrrr, you realise it's a Japanese cake, right?

We learned Big Rock Candy Mountain at school (some words were changed I think, but essentially the same).

It's only as I get older that I bless my education. We used to have singing sessions where we learned songs from around the world - folk songs, spirituals etc. I know people now who don't even know the words to our own national anthem - and aren't ashamed of that!

At least yours has a tune people can sing on key with little musical talent. "My Country 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty, of Thee I sing." (yes, I know what I just did, intentional dig from the brash Colonial) ... vs. our own English Drinking Song that a roaring drunk couldn't sing on a bet.

Do you have to sing God Save the Queen before every sporting event? That's how a lot of Americans learn and remember the words to ours.

[Lunaephiliac]

of course I know the words to the national anthem!

My country hates me
I'll go to Germany
Und be a shpy
I'll eat die sauerkraut
Undtill mine eyes pop out
Und den I will shout
"hotsi, totsie! I'm a nazi!"

True - I know I couldn't sing along to the Star Spangled Banner because of the range needed (though the words are great - very stirring).

We only sing the national anthem before international games - and people who attend them regularly are far more likely to know the words. I think everyone should know the words - to that and Rule Britannia, Land of Hope & Glory and Jerusalem!

Then again I learned poems off by heart at school too and am amazed that some people (educated at the same time just in different schoools) don't know where the most basic quotes come from. I didn't realise how lucky I was....
