Lyrics

Candy man been here and gone
Candy man been here and gone
Candy man
Salty dog
If you can't be my Candy man you can't be my salty dog
Candy man, candy man
Candy man, fattin' hog
Candy man, Santa Claus
If you can't be my candy man, can't be my fattin' hog
Candy man, candy man
Candy man, been here and gone
Candy man, salty dog
I wish I was in New Orleans, sitting on the candy stand
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
I'd give anything in this god almighty world
To get my Candy man home
Candy man, salty dog
Candy man, fattin' hog
Candy man, salty dog
If you can't be my Candy man
You can't be my man at all
