Lyrics

The Candy Man

Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew

Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two

The Candyman, oh the Candyman can

The Candyman can 'cause he mixes it

With love and makes the world taste good

Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in a sigh

Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie

The Candyman, the Candyman can

The Candyman can 'cause he mixes it

With love and makes the world taste good

The Candyman 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, dip it in a dream

Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream

The Candyman Man, oh the Candyman can

The Candyman can 'cause he mixes it

With love and makes the world taste good

The Candyman makes everything he bakes

Satisfying and delicious

Talk about your childhood wishes

You can even eat the dishes

Who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream

Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream

The Candyman, the Candyman can

The Candyman can 'cause he mixes it

With love and makes the world taste good

Yes, the Candyman can 'cause he mixes

It with love and makes the world taste good

A-Candyman, a-Candyman, a-Candyman

A-Candyman, a-Candyman, a-Candyman

A-Candyman, a-Candyman, a-Candyman
