Lyrics
Candy Man
Hey, Candy Man
Alright everybody
Gather around, the Candy Man is here
Now what kind of candy d’ya want?
Sweet chocolate, chocolate malted candy, gumdrops?
Anything you want!
You’ve come to the right man, because I’m the Candy Man
Who can take a sunrise (who can take a sunrise)
Sprinkle it with dew (sprinkle it with dew)
Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two?
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
Oh, the Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can ’cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good (makes the world taste good)
Who can take a rainbow (who can take a rainbow?)
And wrap it in a sigh (wrap it in a sigh)
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie?
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
The Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can ’cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good (makes the world taste good)
The Candy Man makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Now you talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes
Oh who can take tomorrow (who can take tomorrow)
Dip it in a dream (dip it in a dream)
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream?
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
Oh the Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can ’cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good (makes the world taste good)
The Candy Man makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, who can take tomorrow (who can take tomorrow)
Dip it in a dream (dip it in a dream)
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream?
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
The Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can ’cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good (makes the world taste good)
Yes the Candy Man can ’cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good (makes the world taste good)
Oh Candy Man
Oh, Candy Man, oh Candy Man
(Makes the world taste good)
Oh, Candy Man, oh Candy Man, oh Candy Man
(Makes the world taste good)
Oh, Candy Man, oh Candy Man, oh Candy Man
