"Candy Man"
(Traditional arranged by Donovan P. Leitch)

Candy Man, he's been and gone
My Candy Man, he's been and gone
My Candy Man, he's been and gone
And I love everything in this God almighty world
God knows I do

Peppermint stick, got a little brass band
I got a peppermint stick, I got a little brass band
I got a peppermint stick, I got a little brass band
And I'm a-goin' down to the gate
To score the Candy Man stand

Run fetch a pitcher, get the baby some beer (Candy Man)
Run fetch a pitcher, get the baby some beer (Candy Man)
Run fetch a pitcher, get the baby some beer (Candy Man)
Run fetch a pitcher, get the baby some beer (Candy Man)
Run fetch a pitcher, get the baby some beer (Candy Man)
Run fetch a pitcher, get the baby some beer (Candy Man)
'Cause I love everything in this God almighty world
God knows I do

Candy Man, he's been and gone
My Candy Man, and his name's John
My Candy Man, he's Morocco bound
Now, I'd give everything in this God almighty world
To bring my Candy Man home

Black-skin man, give me bad deal
Oh, black-skin man, give me bad deal
Oh, black-skin man, give me bad deal
And I'd give everything in this God almighty world
To bring my Candy Man home

Run fetch a pitcher, get the baby some beer (Candy Man)
Run fetch a pitcher, get the baby some beer (Candy Man)
Run fetch a pitcher, get the baby some beer (Candy Man)
Run fetch a pitcher, get the baby some beer (Candy Man)
Run fetch a pitcher, get the baby some beer (Candy Man)
Run fetch a pitcher, get the baby some beer (Candy Man)
'Cause I love everything in this God almighty world
God knows I do

Candy Man, I love the man
Yeah, my Candy Man, he gets me high
My Candy Man, yeah, I love the man
And I'd give everything in this God almighty world
To bring my Candy Man home
