From the film
THE CANDY MAN
Words and Music by
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Verse
I CAN’T STOP EATING SWEETS!
ALL THOSE WONDERFUL WILLY WONKA TREATS,
YOU CAN KEEP THE OTHERS, ‘CAUSE ME, I’M A WONKERER,
WHEN IT COMES TO CANDY, WILLY’S THE CONQUEROR.
Refrain
WHO CAN TAKE A SUNRISE, SPRINKLE IT WITH DEW,
COVER IT IN CHOC’LATE AND A MIRACLE OR TWO?
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!
WHO CAN TAKE A RAINBOW, WRAP IT IN A SIGH,
SOAK IT IN THE SUN AND MAKE A STRAWB’RY LEMON PIE?
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!
THE CANDY MAN MAKES EV’RYTHING HE BAKES...
SATISFYING AND DELICIOUS,
TALK ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD WISHES!
YOU CAN EVEN EAT THE DISHES!
WHO CAN TAKE TOMORROW, DIP IT IN A DREAM,
SEPARATE THE SORROW AND COLLECT UP ALL THE CREAM?
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!

AND THE WORLD TASTES GOOD
