The Candy Shop Is Closed

Now the candy shop is closed

Yes, the candy shop is closed

We assemble there each day, rounding up pennies just to pay for things like

Rasberry lollipops, old milk bottom tops, comic books for swapping too

We played hopscotch, hide and seek, and between our meals, we'd eat thing like

Chocolate cigars, sticky nougat bars, gobstoppers by the jar too

Now the candy shop is closed

Office blocks come into view

And I know my rent is due

Yes, the candy shop is closed

All those times we're so excited, you might see two friends fighting over

Who called who a name, who won a football game, whoever got the blame, wasn't so

Now there's much more to get through, but only boring things to do

Settling insurance policies, parting nominees, hardships and worries by the score

Now the candy shop is closed

Office blocks come into view

And I know my rent is due

Yes, the candy shop is closed

Oh, the candy shop is closed

Yes, the candy shop is closed

Oh, the candy shop is closed
