The Candy Man

Anthony Newley, Leslie Bricusse

[Verse 1]
Who can take a sunrise?
Sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two

[Chorus]
The Candy Man (The Candy Man)
The Candy Man can (The Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good

[Verse 2]
Who can take a rainbow?
Wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make a strawberry lemon pie

[Chorus]
The Candy Man (The Candy Man)
The Candy Man can (The Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good

[Bridge]
The Candy Man makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes

[Verse 3]
Who can take tomorrow?
Dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream

[Chorus]
The Candy Man (The Candy Man)
The Candy Man can (The Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good

[Bridge]
The Candy Man makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious (Mmm)
Talk about your childhood wishes (Ah)
You can even eat the dishes

[Verse 3]
Who can take tomorrow?
Dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream

[Chorus]
The Candy Man (The Candy Man)
The Candy Man can (The Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good

[Outro]
And the world tastes good 'cause the Candy Man thinks it should
(The world tastes good 'cause the Candy Man thinks it should)
And the world tastes good 'cause the Candy Man thinks it should
And the world tastes good 'cause the Candy Man thinks it should
The world tastes good 'cause the Candy Man thinks it should
