The Candy Man

Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew

Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two

The candy man

Oh, the candy man can

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

My name is Willy Wonka, I make chocolate

Quite simply, the greatest invention in the entire history of the world

Whoever could there be that doesn't love the tooth tickling tongue tastical taste of a sweet bar of soft milk chocolate

Except dogs of course, it's poisonous to dogs

But apart from dogs

There comes a time in every chocolatier's life when the chocolate he makes turns dark and bitter

That's when he knows it's time to lay down his spoon

To hand it over to someone else

Someone new

The only question is

Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in a sigh

Soak it in the sun and make a strawberry lemon pie

I need to find a new, me

A candy man

But who can catch a candy man?

Oh, a candy man can

Yes, a candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good

I have to go back out into the world

The world

I haven't been out there in a very very long time

Well, what are you waiting for?

Let's go!

The candy man makes, everything he bakes

Satisfying and delicious

Talk about your childhood wishes

You can even eat the dishes

(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)

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

And the world tastes good 'cause the candy man thinks it should
