Who can take a sunrise

"The Candy Man"

Who can take a sunrise,
Sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with choc'late
And a miracle or two
The Candy Man,
Oh 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 groovy lemon pie
The Candy Man,
The Candy Man can
The Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good

The Candy Man
Makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Now you talk about your childhood wishes,
You can even eat the dishes

Oh, who can take tomorrow,
Dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow
And collect up all the cream
The Candy Man,
Oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good

The Candy Man
Makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes,
You can even eat the dishes

Oh, who can take tomorrow,
Dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow
And collect up all the cream
The Candy Man,
Oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
