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... 
All heard what sister Johnson said 
She always takes a candy stick to bed 
Don't stand close to the candy man 
He'll leave a big candy stick in your hand 
He sold some candy to sister Bad 
The very next day she took all he had 
If you try his candy good friend of mine 
you sure will want it for a long long time 
His stick candy don't melt away 
It just gets better so the ladies say
