[Lyrics]
Candy man been here and gone
Candy man been here and gone
I'll do anything in God Almighty's world to get my candy man home!
Candy man, salty dog
Candy man, fattin' hog
If you can't be my Candy man, you can't be my salty dog
Candy man, fattin' hog
Candy man, Santa Claus
If you can't be my candy man, can't be my fattin' hog
Candy man, been here and gone
Candy man, salty dog
I wish I was in New Orleans, sitting on the candy stand
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
I'll do anything in God Almighty's world to get my candy man home!
