Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew

Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two

The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can

The Candy Man 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 Candy Man, the Candy Man can

The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and 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, dip it in a dream

Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream

The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can

The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and 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, dip it in a dream

Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream

The Candy Man, the Candy Man can

The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good

Yes, the Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good

a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man

Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man

Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man
