Lyrics
Candy man
Hey, Candy man
Alright everybody gather 'round
The Candy Man is here
What kind of candy do you want
Sweet choc'late
Choc'late malted candy
Gum drops
Anything you want
You've come to the right man
'Cause 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 choc'late 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
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
A-Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man
Makes the world taste good
A-Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man
Makes the world taste good
A-Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man
