    Well all you ladies gather ’round
    That good sweet candy man’s in town
    It’s the candy man
    It’s the candy man

    He likes a stick of candy just nine inch long
    He sells as fast a hog can chew his corn
    It’s the candy man
    It’s the candy man

    All heard what sister Johnson said
    She always takes a candy stick to bed
    It’s the candy man
    It’s the candy man

    Don’t stand close to the candy man
    He’ll leave a big candy stick in your hand
    It’s the candy man
    It’s the candy man
