"Candy Man" lyrics

"Candy Man"

Well, all you ladies gather round
The good sweet candy man's in town
He's the candy man
He's the candy man

He's got a stick of candy that's nine inch long
He sells as fast as a hog chews his corn
He's the candy man
He's the candy man

Whoa, you and the candy man are gettin' mighty thick
I believe you stuck on the candy man's stick
Whoa, yeah

His stick candy don't melt away
It just gets better, so the ladies say
He sold some candy to sister Bad
The very next day she took all he had
He's the candy man

I say, you and the candy man
I believe you stuck
Oh, yeah

Well, you all heard what sister Joan said
She always takes the candy stick to bed
He's the candy man
He's the candy man

Yeah, don't stand close to the candy man
He leaves a stick of candy in your hand
The candy man
You, candy man

Whoa, you and the candy man, you're gettin' mighty thick
I believe you stuck on the candy man's stick
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, yeah
Oh, yeah

So, all you ladies gather round
The good sweet candy man's in town
He's the candy man
Sweet candy
