  • 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 Writer/s: John S Hurt
