Lyrics
Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two
The candy man
Oh, the candy man can
Yes, the candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
My name is Willy Wonka, I make chocolate
Quite simply, the greatest invention in the entire history of the world
Whoever could there be that doesn't love the tooth tickling tongue tastical taste of a sweet bar of soft milk chocolate
Except dogs of course, it's poisonous to dogs
But apart from dogs
There comes a time in every chocolatier's life when the chocolate he makes turns dark and bitter
That's when he knows it's time to lay down his spoon
To hand it over to someone else
Someone new
The only question is
Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make a strawberry lemon pie
I need to find a new, me
A candy man
But who can catch a candy man?
Oh, a candy man can
Yes, a candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
I have to go back out into the world
The world
I haven't been out there in a very very long time
Well, what are you waiting for?
Let's go!
The candy man makes, everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes
(Who can take tomorrow)
Who can take tomorrow
(Dip it in a dream)
Dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
(The candy man, the candy man)
Oh, the candy man can
(The candy man can)
Yes, the candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
And the world tastes good 'cause the candy man thinks it should
