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
