Candy Man (L.O.C. recordings)
Well all you ladies gather 'round
The good sweet candy man's in town
It's the candy man
It's the candy man
He got a stick of candy that's a-nine inch long
He sells it as fast as a hog can chew his corn
It's the candy man
It's the candy man
Well he sold some candy to sister Bad
The very next day she took all he had
Oh, the candy man
Sweet candy man
Well, his stick candy don't melt away
It just gets better, so the ladies say
It's the candy man
Sweet candy man
Well you and the candy man, are gettin' mighty sticky
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm!
I carried my baby to the candy stand
Oh yea, oh yea!
She got stuck on the candy man
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm!
Well all you ladiеs gather 'round
The good sweet candy man's in town
It's the candy man
Sweet candy man
